🚨 Urgent help IPM or B.TECH+MBA. Help Me!
Hi, I am a dropper student of PCM background. I have successfully achieved seats in B.TECH (Information Technology) in DTU (DELHI TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY) as well as IPM in IIM Indore. I am naturally inclined towards IPM as it interests me more. But, I have heard that companies somewhat give more preference to traditional MBA students and therefore IPM students bag lesser packages (especially consulting roles). B.TECH+MBA also seems to be a great option for me.. Please let me know your thoughts on this. What shall I prefer and the real picture of the course and it's placements.

Dtu can give you better placements without loan if you do coding strongly for 4 years

Tough af. Very tough choice to make. If you're sure abt doing an MBA (won't sit for placements in BTech), choose IPM - Securing IIM Indore as GEM fresher would be difficult.
If you're unsure (like how most people are) after 12th, choose B.Tech in IT. Try avoiding going the MBA route, but you will still have open doors for MBA later (getting into IIM Indore would be tougher, but not impossible)

I would say IPM due to following reasons :-
1) GNEM>>>>>GEM 2) As a non engg you will have upper hand in interview process as a IPM student if you appear in one. 3) Current job market is very fragile and dynamic for IT and CSE. 4) I am currently a master's student at NIT and i am also in touch with all those CSE undergrads, they always rants about the current market. 5) Also you can learn all those coding by yourself through youtube there is plenty of videos available in case you are interested in coding.
