Which IIM is better, IIM Sambalpur or IIM Bodh Gaya?

MJ
Manan Jain Posted On : January 21st, 2023
PGP 2016-2018

Generally speaking, IIM Sambalpur and IIM Bodh Gaya are baby IIMs and quite similar in the sense that they have been established around the same time and have similar facilities. Yet if I had to choose one, I would always go for IIM Bodh Gaya because of the following reasons:

  • IIM Bodh Gaya functioned once under the oldest IIM, IIM Calcutta, and therefore has a similar pedagogy and curriculum.
  • It’s located at a tourist spot for Buddhists and Hindus and thus has good connectivity values. This in turn attracts better faculty and more companies for placements.
  • The hostels are quite near to the academic block and provide single occupancy rooms. 
  • The student-driven clubs and committees at IIM Bodh Gaya keep the rigor high on campus through various events and competitions.
  • IIM Bodh Gaya has tie-ups with many global B Schools and its student exchange program allows eligible students to spend a trimester in the partner institution.
  • The placements at IIM Bodh Gaya are very decent. The basic statistics are as follows 

Particulars 

Statistics 

Number of students 

200

Number of Recruiters 

70

Highest package 

INR 48.58 LPA

Average Package 

INR 16 LPA

Median Package 

INR 15.25 LPA

We can say that IIM Bodh Gaya has made quite a mark despite being recently established. It has witnessed fast-paced growth over the past few years so it’s definitely a good choice.

What advantage does IIM Raipur have over the other new IIMs?

ST
Shifali Tirke Posted On : January 20th, 2023
PGP from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (Graduated 2019)

Although IIM Raipur is just a mediocre IIM, it does have certain features that set it apart from other IIMs. Some of them include

  • Students exchange program
  • Curriculum based on Harvard Business School course
  • Older than 10 years. This opens gates for more big firms to visit the campus that don’t visit IIMs that are less than 10 years old.
  • A mixed-talented crowd from various walks of life

These points attract many aspirants who end up choosing IIM Raipur for their MBA program.

Is the Manipal Institute of Technology as good as BITS Hyderabad or Goa?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 9th, 2023

No, except the Mechanical Engineering branch of MIT Manipal, it cannot be compared to one of the best private engineering colleges, BITS.

MIT Manipal may have better infrastructure than BITS Goa and Hyderabad but fails to give an edge in other aspects such as placements, coding culture, campus life, club culture, and brand name.

  • MIT Manipal has great placements for CS branches but below average for other branches. 
  • BITS also has a better environment for extracurricular activities and social development clubs. The campus life at Manipal is at par with BITS Goa. 
  • Location is another factor Manipal gives an edge to BITS. It’s a university town and you get to interact with students from 25 different colleges. 
  • The coding culture in all the BITS is unmatched and the faculty pool is also better. 
  • The quality of students at BITS is better because its entrance exam BITSAT is more difficult than MU OET, the Manipal entrance exam. This ensures a more filtered crowd.

So it can be safely concluded that Manipal is improving, but it is yet to reach the level of BITS.

Which is better IIM Shillong or IIM Indore?

YV
Yashluv Virwani Posted On : January 12th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Shillong

Your evaluation criteria should be as follows:

  • Alumni Center.
  • Typical Student Profile.
  • Companies that visit and the kinds of profiles they offer will depend on your area of interest.

Because it is more established than IIM Shillong. Thus, IIM I has a larger base.

Make a note of your main area of interest. Many candidates struggle with this because they are uncertain or occasionally even ignorant of all the options. Make a list of a few broad areas in that case. Then, pay attention to the visitors' names and, more importantly, the kinds of profiles that are being offered. Once more, the statistics are widely accessible, even on the college website.

Which is best, IIM Indore or Shaheed Sukhdev?

KC
Kamala Choudhary Posted On : August 28th, 2021
Studied at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (2015)

Having known some people graduating from both IIM Indore and Shaheed Sukhdev, I got to know that among the two Shaheed Sukhdev is a better option.

  • They provide a better return on investment.
  • It's better to have more options than to pay 30+ lakhs and get a job of 11 to 15 lakhs while paying the loan for 4 years.
  • There is a very strong chance to go for the CAT or GMAT to pursue PGDM courses from B-schools which are higher in rank and more reputed than IIM Indore.
  • Shaheed Sukhdev offers similar job opportunities like any top IIM or NITs.
  • Being in Delhi you would get more industrial exposure for internships, jobs, seminars, etc.
  • It has a much lower fee structure than IIM Indore.
Categories IIM Indore Shaheed Sukhdev
Course Fee 15.01 lakhs 1.36 lakhs
Highest CTC 24 LPA 22 LPA
Average CTC 12 LPA 10-12 LPA
Recruiting Companies Wipro, IBM, Cognizant, ZS Associates, etc. TCS, PWC, Deloitte, Dell, etc.

All these reasons are good to favor Shaheed Sukhdev over IPM IIM Indore. Having said that, IPM at IIM Indore also has its own set of advantages. So you need to make a wise decision and go for the one that suits you best.
