Which is better MDI or IIFT or IIM Indore?
All three of the institutions, MDI, IIFT, and IIM Indore, are comparable, so admission shouldn't be based solely on the IIM moniker. Both IIFT and MDI have excellent lists of recruiters visiting campuses and smaller batch sizes. The IIFT is the best of the three if one is interested in trading or is fine working in general management roles in emerging economies. MDI is the best of the three for consulting-related jobs and a great campus life. Unfortunately, due to its enormous batch size, IIM Indore is no longer regarded as being in the same league as other old IIMs. At all three institutions, the faculty and teaching methods are comparable.
It would be MDI>IIFT>IIM I if you took into account things like placements, faculty, brand value, campus life, and location.

Some more reasons are listed below:
- MDI Gurgaon has an extensively wide and large alumni base. It also has a stronger academic team and its reputation had been built by them for years in the industry.
- Although IIM Udaipur is new, it is an exceptionally good college and it has alumni at most of the middle management positions in the industry.
- It is important to consider the tag of the IIM as it is not an argument here and should not be considered at all.
- IIM Udaipur will be taking a long time to get the type of reputation that the older IIMs have as it is a new IIM. Yet, it can be asserted that IIM Udaipur will reach there as it has the support of the Human Resource and Development Ministry (HRD).
The main question that arises is “When is this going to happen?”. Therefore, it is important to understand that IIM Udaipur has not yet achieved the mark to be compared with colleges like MDI, Gurgaon.
It all depends on you – if you want to invest in the long shot and be recognized as one of those students who were a part of the early alumni or you would want to invest in an already established institution and make the most of your course.
