Just 2 doubts If you know can you tell me 1) Will this degree help us to get good placements 2) will we be able to visit campus in 3 year period ?

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @nanoshortz6066 - (1) This degree will certainly help you in getting good placements, but there will be no campus placements. The networking opportunities and brand value of IIMB can certainly help. (We are building a video on how this program can help you get a job or career transition and it will be released in next couple of days) (2) As per the website you will not be able to visit the campus. However, since this is the first year and it's a new program, rules may change as the course progresses. You will be getting a lot of networking opportunities otherwise, along with IIMB Alumni Status.

sir you're saying ki online likha hoga but mostly har jagah mene padha h ki online distance jesa kuch ni hoga and it will be treated as a normal bachelor program.

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @crazyutkarsh314 - I highly doubt that it will be treated as normal bachelor's degree. Even if it's not mentioned, the institutes (for higher ed) and the companies (for recruitment) will be aware that the program is online.

Sir I have some doubts, i want to give ipmat next year for ipm course in indore and ive got the offer letter of iimb bba dbe 1. Can I take break in the last 2 terms of 1st year as i want to focus completely on ipmat preparation? 2. do i have to pay full fees of 3 years even if i take exit after 1 year ? 3. how long is one term?

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @siddarth454 - (1) Yes you can definitely take a break. You will have to pay INR 1,000 for each term you take a break for. Also, you will have to invest 10-12 hours weekly for this program. (2) Now, you won't have to pay full fee if you exit after year 1. The fee structure allows you to make payment on term basis. This mean that for Year-1 the fees is INR 1,25,000 and you will have to pay INR 41,666 in each term. (3) Each term will be approx. 3~4 months. Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have more queries.

[@IvyCrackers]

@siddharth454 - it's available in the brochure. You can download it from IIMB website.

[@gaurav1480]

Will the degree have online or distance learning written on it ? Please reply

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @gaurav1480 - Yes degree will mention "Online".

[@pbarwaliya]

Will this degree will consider as any bachelor degree for further education like to get into top b schools or it will be not considered as normal degree?

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @pbarwaliya - This will be considered an online bachelor's degree. It will be better if you can do a full-time bachelor's degree along with this program and then use both of these to get into top B-schools. Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any other queries.

Sir I am doing bba entrepreneurship from fms Udaipur I have got the admission in iim Bangalore dbe programme should I do both the degree side by side or should I drop from fms Udaipur and do ba psychology from mlsu Udaipur Please help I am really confuse right now

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @kartiksahu7140 - FMS also has great brand image. (1) You should compare the curriculum of the two courses and see what will you be learning at IIM Bangalore vs FMS. (2) How's has your experience been at FMS Udaipur? (3) We won't suggest you to drop from a full-time program and join an online program. As we mentioned in the video, this program should be pursued along with a full-time on-campus degree program. (4) When did you join FMS Udaipur?

[@kartiksahu7140]

@@IvyCrackers sir I joined fms Udaipur 15 days ago My experience is good with fms Udaipur sir for now they are doing the orientation programme Sir my main doubt is that both the courses are similar so if I drop from fms Udaipur and take the admission in ba psychology(mlsu ) as a second degree What should I do sir which may help me on the long run

[@Siddarth454]

If i take break in 2nd term and then rejoin in the 3rd does that mean i dont have to study for 2nd term and i will still get the certificate if i exited after the 3rd term???

[@IvyCrackers]

Most likely you will have to go through recorded sessions and then take the exams for 2nd term. For sure, students will not be allowed to skip terms and get the certificate.

[@Siddarth454]

@@IvyCrackers which means i will have to pay fot the 2nd term also ?

[@IvyCrackers]

Yes, you will have to pay when you rejoin the program.

Hi, I got admission into IIM-B DBE programme, alongside I am a second year student of B.Con VNSGU (external) which means I just have to go to give exams at college, it’s like a win-win situation for me but still want to seek your guidance for the same. Kindly Enlighten Me. Thankyou

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @pradyumnwadhwa31 - While the course will certainly bring in a lot of learnings which will help you in the short as well as long run, I would like to understand your career aspirations.

[@pradyumnwadhwa31]

@@IvyCrackers career aspirations : firstly pursuing two degrees at one time will definitely help me understand commerce’s field two biggest pillar and also the requirements the industry will need in future. Secondly, IIM degree will open gates for MBA abroad in digital field.

[@IvyCrackers]

@pradyumnwadhwa31 - Yes this degree will certainly open up MBA options for you.

[@akanksha8591]

Can i do another degree from different college and do admission in IIM Bangalore also?

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @akanksha8591 - Yes you can do that and that's the suggested option as well. You should definitely pursue a full-time degree along with this course from IIM Bangalore.

[@akanksha8591]

Sir I want to ask one more thing exam of both degree would not be clash?

[@IvyCrackers]

@akanksha8591 - Most likely the exams shouldn't clash. You will be getting a detailed schedule of full course along with exam timeframe. Since this is an online course, exam will be conducted on weekends most likely. However, do drop a note to [e-mail]. to get a confirmation on the basis of when the exams are conducted in your full-time degree (coz different universities/courses conduct exams at different times of the year).

[@TarushS]

Sir test will be held in different states?? And sir what does credit means

[@IvyCrackers]

@TarushS - Yes test will conducted in different states. See, each course has certain credits (such as 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 etc.) and that is all added up to decide the final number of credits. Now, credits are extremely useful for electives (which will come into picture in the 3rd Year). Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have more queries.

[@aarushkatia]

review about masters union ?

[@IvyCrackers]

Haven't got positive reviews from the last batch. There's a lot of boasting around Masters Union, but in no way it's close to top B-schools yet. Coz of industry connects, they will be able to place a few students but what will matter is how those students do few years down the line and how rest of the students get placed. Haven't got positive reviews from the last batch.

[@siddardha9001]

How can they do case study method for 1000 students at a time?

[@IvyCrackers]

Hi @siddardha9001 - They will divide the students in the smaller batches. They won't conduct classes for all 1000 students at a time. Generally, the class size is 70-80 and then professor cold call the names and discuss.

@TarushS - relative grading means what's your grade like in comparison to others. It has no correlation with failing. It's said that anyone will have to work really hard to fail in IIMs. :)
