Hi Mayank, I would love to know more about self-financing options like either working part-time and covering livings costs, etc. at HEC

Thanks a lot Mayank, you cleared a lot of my doubts specially the point which mentions if you want to be an entrepreneur! Didn't know you'd get to that point without even asking! Thanks a ton I have a lot of clarity now Keep it up😁

[@rudranshtiwari7802]

Hey great content! Just what I needed!...also can u make video on jobs/ internships that you get thru mim Also. Something like where would it lead you after 5 years of the degree

[@shalinigupta7236]

Sir, I have completed my bachelor's degree from Seoul National University in Korea and currently I'm doing job from 2years can I able to apply in HEC and can I get scholarship also Please tell🙏

[@angadmonga2705]

Great channel Mayank! I would like to point out a couple things here though. Coming to the cost, 23 lakhs at IIM B includes accommodation and food. In fact, all the top B -Schools in India include the cost of accommodation and food in their final fee slips as Indian MBAs are residential programs. Another thing we need to consider is the fact that, if one does get into top 5 or even top 10 B-Schools in India, they get an MBA degree and not an MiM. So comparing European MiM to Indian MBA does not make much sense to me. Something I have been wanting to ask, would it make sense to do an MiM after 2 years of experience? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Looking forward to connecting with you, if possible.

[@MayankSehgal]

Hi Angad! Thanks for bringing this up. Your point on the fees including accommodation is totally right. My bad for overlooking that. However, IIM programs are MiM (PGDM) and not MBA programs. They come in the same ranking list as HEC Paris as well (IIMs are ranked starting 24-25 and HEC is ranked 2), because it’s considered the same program. Regarding your question, I think it might make sense if you have exactly 2 years, but anything more than that you might be better off with an MBA.

[@angadmonga2705]

​@@MayankSehgal Got it! I was under the impression that starting this year, i.e Batch of 2022, IIMs will start handing out proper MBA degrees. Thank you for the clarification.

[@MayankSehgal]

To be honest I'm not sure about that! I haven't looked that deeply into IIMs.

[@arijitkar9434]

Avarage Living expenses for a b school student in Bangalore is 15k-18k per month . In HEC Paris that is 85k or 1k euro avarage, said by him in another video. The estimation for Bangalore is totally wrong in the video..

[@MayankSehgal]

Hey man, I grew up in Bangalore. It’s hard to say one specific number for Bangalore or anywhere in India, since it totally depends on your lifestyle. In my videos I’m speaking from personal experience. The 40k INR number I said assumes a certain kind of lifestyle that I think a student at a top B-school would have including rent, food, and going out/restaurants/bars/parties too. The rent per person in many places in Bangalore is itself 12-14k. Your food expenses will be another 5-6k or more. Travel expenses are another 5-6k depending on whether you have a bike or you Uber or take a bus. And then if you include going out every weekend, you’re spending around 2k each time so that’s 8k. It adds up to around 30-40k in total. Of course it’s totally possible to live on a 15k budget, and it’s possible to live on an 80k budget in Bangalore. It depends on what you want.

[@arijitkar9434]

In IIM Bangalore room rent is included in their academic fees.

[@karthik9272]

@@arijitkar9434 bhai indian B schools are very difficult to get especially IIM-B , My senior studied from HEC Paris with just 6 cgpa from IITs as he couldn't get any of the top B-school in India , even he was not able to score well in CAT exam . So HEC paris with IIM B has no comparison . CAT is 70x more difficult than GRE,GMAT

[@434_utkarshsharma3]

​@@karthik9272 Yeah thats why it sucks. Sure u need to get fluent in the language to ace in Europe but that's much easier than studying your ass off to get 99.9x percentile in CAT and still be rejected in an Interview cuz ur an engineer and have only decent grades. Even in terms of rankings, IIMs barely make it to the top schools in the world, HEC although is high up in the chain.
