Which is a better IIM among IIM Indore, IIM Shillong, and IIM Ranchi?
Each of them has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. And, instead of choosing the oldest college or the highest package as the criterion, students should conduct a SWOT analysis to see which colleges best align with their long-term goals.
IIM Indore: Because of its age, it is regarded as a premium choice among the student fraternity. However, a closer examination reveals that the batch size of 600+ is a grave trap for students with mediocre backgrounds. With a large batch size, you have little chance of being shortlisted by big brands appearing in their report. However, getting into an older college with a good reputation will work out in the long run if one works hard in the corporate world.
IIM Shillong: Founded in 2008, not long before the new IIMs, it has its own interviewing process rather than the CAP. Both the new IIMs and Shillong are progressing at the same rate. On the other hand, the state of affairs in the world. This is primarily due to logistical constraints; recruiters for IIM grads are typically top-level managers. Each minute counts for top-level executives, and losing time for travel is the last thing they want to do.
IIM Ranchi: One of the country's fastest-growing IIMs, it has seen phenomenal growth in recent years. IIM Ranchi has outperformed Shillong in a short period of time. IIM Ranchi has two flagship courses, PGDM and PGDHRM, and is the only IIM that offers HR-specific courses. With most of the early alumni in higher HR positions, they have an advantage over other colleges in convincing them to bring companies to campus. As a result, their placement is improved, and with smaller batch sizes, everyone has nearly equal opportunity. However, IIM Ranchi has its own constraints, as it is still operating from a temporary campus. IIM Ranchi is the slowest to build its own campus.

Marketing is a focal point at SPJIMR. The marketing faculty is brilliant and extremely enthusiastic about their subjects. The faculty is welcoming and open to discussions about current events. Some of the professors are from US universities.
The course comprises interesting projects, guest lectures from industry experts and alums, and workshops that will keep you busy all day. "Fieldwork" is given a lot of credit. There are enough role clarification sessions to give you a clear picture of what the Sales and Marketing roles entail. They have interesting concepts like "A Day in the Life of a Salesman," in which students shadow a salesman on the job, a Capstone project that gives you a comprehensive understanding of marketing, and so on.
The curriculum's best feature is that it is kept as current and relevant as possible. In fact, you might want to join the Marketing Area Committee during your first year to gain more experience in this field. Digital marketing is also taken very seriously in this company. The batch profile is extremely powerful. Many of them have come from core sales/advertising roles, and their contributions to the class are significant.
