Which is better, IIM Bodh Gaya or SIBM Bangalore?
The brand of IIM is well-respected and will continue to hold weight in the future. IIM Bodhgaya is a relatively new institute and has the potential to grow further in the coming years. While SIBM Bangalore may have slightly better placement opportunities, graduating from IIM Bodhgaya will be a great achievement and you will be proud to say that you have studied at an IIM.
It is important to note that both institutions have a strong culture of study and competition among students. However, if you have the determination and belief that you can score higher on the CAT exam and have strong academics, it may be worth considering giving it another shot for the chance to attend a better institute. It's important to weigh all the options and consider the long-term benefits before making a decision. Ultimately, the choice is yours and it's important to choose the institution that aligns with your career goals and aspirations.
Is Integrated programme of management of IIM Bodh Gaya worth it?
Whether a course is suitable for a person depends solely on what he wants from the course and his priorities. You cannot generalize a course's value. Yet, in my opinion, it’s a course worth doing for everyone. Some points that speak in favor of this program are
- Unlike the general misconception of IPM being lower in terms of degree, the IPM program at IIM Bodh Gaya offers dual degrees to its students (B.A (Foundations in Management) and a normal MBA).
- Despite being a new IIM, it has carried the legacy of IIM and has proven its worth through its fast-paced growth and 100% placement percentage.
- IIM Bodh Gaya maintains strong international relations with world-class educational institutes like SolBridge International School of Business in South Korea and Montpellier Business School in France through its elite student exchange program
- Its location is one of the reasons many students choose it over other new IIMs. It’s located just 7 km away from the Gaya airport at a Buddhist tourist spot.
So IIM Bodh Gaya in general and its IPM program especially is worth taking.
What is the dress code of IIM? I am going to join IIM Bodh Gaya this year but I don’t have any idea about the uniform.
There is no strictly followed dress code at IIM Bodh Gaya. Yet you are expected to dress properly on certain occasions. For instance
- For your pre-placement process you are expected to be dressed either in Business casuals or smart casuals
- For your Placement Interviews and Group Discussions, your attire should necessarily be formal.
- During your classes it’s recommended that you dress up in smart casuals as it gives a good impression on the faculty. Wearing informal T-Shirts might set a wrong image of you.
- During class presentations, you should adopt General smart casuals as your dress code and if the presentation is extra serious, you might even wear formal.
- In the hostel you can wear whatever you want and there are no boundaries. Still, you are expected to be modestly clothed as the hostels are co-Ed.
So before joining IIM, try to arrange at least 3 formal suits that might come in handy during emergencies.
How is the infrastructure at IIM Bodh Gaya
IIM Bodh Gaya students have their own campus building. Its infrastructure is top-notch and enhances the learning experience of its students. Its building was constructed under the guidance and instruction of the Government of Bihar. Some major pinnacles of the infrastructure are

Does IIM Bodh Gaya offer a healthcare management course?
By establishing a 2-year full-time MBA program in Hospital and Healthcare Management, IIM Bodh Gaya has taken action to meet the growing demand for experts in the healthcare industry.
As the healthcare sector expands quickly, managers who have the necessary education and training are needed to handle the opportunities and challenges that come with it. A thorough education in both the hospital and healthcare management sectors is provided through the MBA program.
Depending on interests and career objectives, it offers students the chance to select between two specialization tracks: hospital management and healthcare management. Senior professionals from the healthcare industry served on the program's Industry Advisory Board.
For students wishing to begin or advance their careers in the healthcare industry, this program should be quite helpful. The program gives students a thorough education as well as hands-on learning opportunities, giving them the knowledge, expertise, and experience they need to excel in the field. Students will receive a valuable understanding of the numerous facets of the healthcare business and be well-prepared for a successful career in this profession whether they want to specialize in Hospital Management or Healthcare Management.
Which institute is better, IIM Sirmaur, HP or IIM Bodh Gaya, Bihar, for a student from Agra, UP who is from an engineering background with zero experience?
Both IIM Sirmaur and IIM Bodh Gaya are comparable in terms of infrastructure, faculty, academics, and placements. However, I personally know Dr. Prafulla Agnihotri, who was the Director of IIM Trichy and has now become the Director of IIM Sirmaur and I believe that he has excellent administrative capabilities and connections in the government to get things moving fast. Dr. Agnihotri played a significant role in establishing a permanent campus for IIM Trichy quickly, which is why I’m willing to bet more on IIM Sirmaur than IIM Bodh Gaya.
However, this answer is biased and I recommend you do thorough research and connect with ex-students, faculty, and acquaintances connected to both institutes to make an informed decision.
Is it preferable and possible to do a CFA along with an MBA in Finance if I take admission in IIM Bodh Gaya?
It is possible to pursue the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) certification in conjunction with an MBA degree from IIM Bodh Gaya, as well as other certifications such as Financial Risk Manager (FRM), Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst (FMVA), Certified Business Continuity Analyst (CBCA), Certified Market Surveillance Analyst (CMSA), National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), and National Stock Exchange's Certification in Financial Markets (NCFM).
Whether or not it is preferable to pursue the CFA certification alongside an MBA in Finance is a matter of personal preference. Like other IIMs, IIM Bodh Gaya has a rigorous curriculum and pedagogy. If you are able to make time outside of committee and club activities and studies and are willing to sacrifice some sleep, pursuing these certifications can greatly enhance your resume and increase your marketability in the job market. However, it is also a high-risk, high-reward decision. Even if you do not pursue these certifications, IIM Bodh Gaya will still provide you with attractive job offers if you put in the effort.
