When IIM Kashipur is the most apt for Operations among the new IIMs, then why does the maximum placement there happens in Finance and Marketing?
Because of its location, IIM Kashipur has the best Operations faculties and links. However, there are a few issues with the placement of the same. The Institute does not award diplomas in specific fields such as operations, finance, and marketing. As a result, students of any major are always eligible to apply for any job. Because students are not enrolled in a specific stream when they join the institute, their preferences change after the first year of exposure. Many students enter the second year with the intention of majoring in Operations, but they end up majoring in other fields for personal reasons.
Even among them, there aren't many freshmen, for whom it can be challenging to find an operations job; as a result, even they end up getting placed in a different stream. Therefore, IIM Kashipur is indeed a perfect place for operations management, but only if you have the correct perspective on what ops are and if you stick with it.

Which course among PGP at IIM Indore and PGP-ABM at IIM Lucknow should one choose if he/she has an interest in Marketing and Operations?
The simple answer is that the choice of the course depends more or your overall profile than the course itself. Irresponsible of your specialization your chances at placements will be low if your resume is below average. Moreover, institutes like IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow offer joint placements for both programs.
Students can apply to any company irrespective of their specialization. Yet there are many who are able to get into their dream companies while some failed to get a call from a reputed firm. This is because the PGP program just added value to your resume and if that is already poor then even PGP cannot guarantee you a high-paying job.
So if you already have a good resume all you need to do is improve your resume in marketing and operations. This can be done through extra-curricular activities and B-school competitions. For this the PGP-ABM program is perfect.
But if you have a below-average resume, then go for PGP. Because then extracurricular activities alone will not improve your resume. You need class projects and good academic scores to upgrade it. Unlike PGP-ABM, you won’t miss out on basic electives related to marketing/ops/finance.
So nothing is certain about an MBA program. One needs to know what he will be doing after acquiring knowledge to decide which course to take. I will personally suggest you go for IIM Lucknow PGP-ABM if you just want to improve your resume.
