Which college should I choose between IIT Roorkee and IIM Sirmaur for MBA?
I don’t even need to ponder over this question for a long time. The answer is very simple. You should choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Sirmaur for MBA. The reason being its new establishment. People don’t care if you are an IIM student unless you belong to the older ones. The new IIMs are yet to make a mark in the industry especially the likes of IIM Jammu and Sirmaur.
IIT Roorkee on the other hand is very good at placements and peer learning. Given the current situation of both institutes, IIT Roorkee is definitely the better option. The IIM tag offered by Sirmaur lacks credibility and even if it will be beneficial, it will be after some years and not right away.
Which college is better, TAPMI or IIM Sirmaur?
Among these, TAPMI is the obvious choice. Compared to IIM Sirmaur, it is older and has a well-developed alumni base. The institute has a remarkable placement record. TAPMI placements 2022 shows the average package to be INR 12.6 LPA. While the highest CTC offered this year was INR 32.2 LPA. Capgemini, HCL, and Accenture are some of the major recruiters that took part in the placement drive.
Baby IIMs such as IIM Sirmaur fall behind in terms of academics, curriculum, and faculty.
What is the international immersion program at IIM Sirmaur?
This program recently initiated by IIM Sirmaur targets students who want International Exposure. It’s actually a rich blend of the IIM curriculum and added exposure to international business practices, strategic operations management, and current issues in the European markets.
The duration of the program is 1 month. The pedagogy comprises industry visits and weekend trips which facilitate classroom learning and help the students comprehend the context better.
For a better understanding, let me narrate my sister's experience. She flew to Milan, the fashion capital of the world. On the weekdays the entire focus was given to studying at SDA Bocconi and weekends were a getaway for traveling and exploring. She describes the teaching method as spectacular. The faculty was very experienced and highly learned and taught them to find the solutions to the toughest problem in the simplest and most systematic way. The industry visit to Ferrari and Maserati was the cherry on the cake. She was also able to explore Europe's famous places like Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Lugano Lake, Mont Brie, Genova, etc., and the marvelous architecture of Rome, Florence, and Pisa.
All in all, she claims that the experience of IIP broadened her mindset and perspective to see things from different dimensions. It provided a sense of self-development and made her realize that the world is filled with unlimited opportunities.
Which college should I join, IMT Ghaziabad (marketing) or IIM Sirmaur? I have work experience of 3 years in the IT industry.
The new IIMs like IIM Sirmaur and Jammu prefer experienced work professionals over freshers. This is so that the B School can boast its profile in front of corporates during placements. Other than the IIM tag it has nothing to offer and is not in the league of well-established companies. IMT Ghaziabad specializes in Marketing and IIM Sirmaur is nowhere comparable in this aspect. I’m fact IMT Ghaziabad is better than IIM Sirmaur in all these aspects
- brand
- crowd
- faculty exposure
- corporate connect
- roles offered
- alums
- location
Your IT background will also fetch you a good role if you join IMT Ghaziabad only.
