Ranking: DMS, IIT Delhi is ranked 5 in the NIRF ranking and also ranks higher than all new IIMs in
most of the CAT coaching institute rankings. It has a rich research culture giving it the 3 positions in the QS world rankings.
Batch size: DMS has an average batch size thereby increasing the scope of interaction. It also enjoys location advantages, not making it difficult for big industries to visit the campus for recruitment.
Comparing the average CTC of IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad we get:
Average CTC of IIT Delhi: INR 16 LPA
Average CTC of IIM Ahmedabad: INR 26 LPA
One gets into IIM Ahmedabad after gaining 2.5 years of work experience. Adding the 2 year PGP Program, he is likely to start earning after 4.5 years. Around this time, candidates of both IIM Ahmedabad and IIT Delhi will be earning almost the same amount.
The only advantage an IIM Ahmedabad student will have is its tag which will add value in the long run.
