Which is it pls list it guys

Everyone dreams of getting into an IIM, but the reality is that IIMs are filled with some of the brightest students in the country. Most of them are already academically strong, highly competitive, and capable of succeeding almost anywhere.

Tier 3 MBA colleges, on the other hand, are where many average and struggling students begin their journey. These colleges often focus on helping students improve rather than assuming they already know everything. They spend more time on communication skills, presentations, group discussions, interviews, personality development, teamwork, confidence building, and industry exposure.

For someone who wasn't a topper in school or college, this kind of environment can be far more valuable. The goal isn't just to teach management subjects, it's to help students become a better version of themselves.

An IIM can give you an excellent platform if you're already highly competitive. But for many average students, a Tier 3 MBA can provide the guidance, support, and confidence needed to grow personally and professionally.

Your college doesn't define your future. The effort you put into learning, improving your skills, and making the most of the opportunities available matters far more than the name on your degree.

Whenever I see news about IT jobs, new tech parks, or companies expanding in other cities, it always makes me think about how Kerala fumbled a generation's worth of job opportunities. There was a time when Thiruvananthapuram, with Technopark, was among India's early IT success stories. Back then, even Bengaluru was still in the earlier stages of its rise as an IT powerhouse, and many believed Kerala was well positioned to become one of the country's leading technology hubs.

For years, Kerala had a head start with Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram, and many expected the state to become one of India's leading IT destinations.

Today, it feels like cities such as Coimbatore have grown faster in attracting IT companies, private investment, and job opportunities. Many people also argue that past political decisions, labour disputes, and delays in approving major projects discouraged investment and prevented Kerala from fully capitalizing on its early advantage.

Looking back, it feels like Kerala had a real chance to become one of India's biggest IT hubs but couldn't fully capitalize on that early lead.

What do you think held Kerala back? Was it policy, infrastructure, investment, labour issues, or something else? And do you think Thiruvananthapuram can close the gap in the coming years, or has Coimbatore already pulled ahead?

So my freind did MBA from a college in kerala and got 12LPA job, so i was windering which are the best mba colleges in kerala, no need to mention IIMs

I'm 27 years old. I consider myself a good, obedient, loyal, and down-to-earth person. I'm caring and loving by nature. I don't smoke or drink, and I don't really have any friends or a social circle. I earn ₹55,000 per month.

If I get married, I'll fully support my wife in whatever she wants to do, whether it's working, studying, traveling, or pursuing her own interests. I don't believe in controlling my partner and want her to have complete freedom to make her own choices.

How would someone like me generally be viewed in today's marriage market? I'd appreciate honest opinions.

MBA, No Job, No Friends... Goodbye Reddit, and Thank You for Making Me Feel Less Alone

I think it's finally time for me to leave this subreddit and Reddit altogether.

I'm sorry if any of my posts or comments hurt, annoyed, or frustrated anyone. That was never my intention.

For the past two years, I've mostly been sitting at home. I completed my MBA, but I couldn't find a job. I also don't really have friends to talk to, so life became very lonely. Those three things, my MBA, having no job, and having no friends, were the topics I posted about the most because they were the biggest struggles in my life.

I had Reddit installed for a long time but never really used it. When I finally started posting, I realized how easy it was to connect with people here. Every comment I received felt like someone was taking a moment out of their day to talk to me. That might sound small to some people, but it meant a lot to me. Sometimes, seeing a notification on one of my posts was enough to make my day a little better.

I know some of my posts weren't appreciated, and I've been banned from a few communities because of them. I understand that not everyone liked my posts, and I don't want to make anyone upset or uncomfortable. That's one of the reasons I've decided to leave.

To everyone who replied to me, gave advice, encouraged me, or simply took the time to comment, thank you. You may not realize it, but your words meant something to someone who was feeling very alone.

If any of my posts made you smile, laugh, or think, I'm happy about that. And if I ever offended, annoyed, or hurt anyone, I'm sincerely sorry.

This is my goodbye. I genuinely wish all of you happiness, good health, success, and a wonderful life ahead.

Thank you, Reddit. Take care, everyone.

I am leaving Reddit.

A friend of mine spent around ₹25 lakh in total to complete his MBA from St. Joseph's in Bangalore. Before joining, he often said it was an "elite" college where only elite students studied, and that he wanted to be among them. He believed graduating from such an institution would guarantee a successful career.

However, after completing his MBA, he was unable to secure a job and eventually returned home unemployed. It was a reminder that paying a high fee or studying at a college with a prestigious image does not automatically guarantee placement or career success. Ultimately, a person's skills, preparation, and the opportunities they create for themselves matter far more than the price tag of their degree.

My friend did his MBA from St. Joseph's Institute of Management (SJIM), Bangalore, while I completed mine from the School of Management Studies, CUSAT.

He constantly calls my college "low level." Whenever we meet, he barely talks to me and behaves as if his MBA is far superior.

What makes it ironic is that in the latest NIRF 2025 Management rankings, CUSAT's School of Management Studies is ranked 82nd in India, while SJIM Bangalore is in the 160 band, nowhere near the top-ranked management institutes.

I'm not saying rankings are everything, placements, skills, networking, and individual effort matter a lot. But if someone is going to judge another person's college and act superior because of it, shouldn't they at least know the facts first?

Has anyone else dealt with friends who have this kind of superiority complex?

I'm genuinely curious about this.

I've noticed that a lot of students from Kerala go to Bangalore for higher studies, even when some of the colleges they choose are relatively low-ranked or don't have major accreditations.

What is the main reason behind this trend?

Is it because people believe that simply studying in Bangalore gives better exposure, networking opportunities, or a better chance of getting a job? Or are there other factors, such as college life, location, or availability of courses?

I'm not trying to criticize anyone or any college. I just want to understand why so many Malayalis choose lower-ranked colleges in Bangalore instead of studying in Kerala or other states.

Everyone kept telling me,

"Saar, go to Bangalore for your MBA. You'll get exposure, networking, lots of companies, and amazing opportunities."

So I listened. I spent lakhs, moved to Bangalore, completed my MBA, and graduated with big expectations.

My first job?

A ₹4 LPA sales job at a toilet company. 😂🚽

I literally had to stand in a showroom and sell toilets.

So yes, I got the "exposure" everyone promised... just not the kind I was expecting. 🤣

One of my friends from my village chose to do a BPED instead of a more conventional degree. I told him several times to think carefully because I felt the job opportunities would be more limited compared to something like an MBA or engineering.

But he was passionate about physical education, so he went ahead and even completed an MPED as well.

Now he's unemployed and finding it difficult to get a job. Most of the openings he comes across are for physical education teacher roles or gym instructor positions, and many of them don't pay very well. On top of that, he has poor communication skills, which makes the job search even harder.

He's also still stuck in our village because he hasn't been able to find a stable job elsewhere. I genuinely feel bad for him because I tried many times to convince him to choose a course with broader career opportunities. He followed his passion, but right now he's struggling to find stable employment.

Everyone told me, "Go to Bangalore for your MBA. You'll get exposure and great opportunities."

One of my friends did his MBA from a college in Kerala and landed a ₹12 LPA job. Meanwhile, I went to Bangalore because everyone kept saying that's where all the best opportunities were.

After finishing my MBA, the only job I managed to get was as a salesman at a sanitaryware (toilet fittings) company, where I spent my day standing in the showroom trying to sell products. To be honest, I felt so embarrassed that I ended up quitting the job.

Instead of coming back with a great career, I came back with debt and disappointment.

I believed all the hype about Bangalore, and it honestly feels like I got completely cooked. Has anyone else had a similar experience, or was I just unlucky?

One of my friends did his MBA from St. Joseph's Bangalore, while I completed mine from a different college.

Over time, I've felt like he's been ignoring me because of where I studied. I even overheard him saying, "He's not one of us. He studied in that trash MBA college."

It honestly hurt because I don't think someone's worth should be judged by the name of their college. At the end of the day, what matters is how you perform, your skills, and how you treat others.

Has anyone else experienced friends or classmates acting superior just because they graduated from a more well-known college?
