I got 83.56 in cat 2020 (di 86 Qa 84 Va 64.25) and NC OBC and acads 10th 95 12th 75.2 grad 71. Got a letter from iim ranchi about Mba HR programmme. 2000 fees Is it worth filling the form???
Hello aspirant!
IIM Ranchi HR program is one of the best in the country and you should not miss the chance if you have got the opportunity. The placement report of the college is stellar (see link below)
https://iimranchi.ac.in/uploads/fp18-20.pdf
You have decent academics and should not face any issue in getting shortlisted for companies. Do not make the decision solely based on the fees or the ROI ratio. The main purpose of doing an MBA from a reputed college is to get a headstart in your career and start your career in management from a top tier company. It will be your launchpad into the corporate world and then you are free to explore on your own.
The post pandemic scenario should not haunt us for too long and the industry will be on its feet in no time. I would urge you to consider this as a good opportunity and consider admission this year only.
All the best!
