Is IIM Udaipur that far ahead of other IIMs if we consider the global rankings?
Every ranking is done on the basis of different parameters. So we cannot define the worth of a college just by looking at one or two rankings. IIM Udaipur has been featured in both the QS and FT MiM rankings which included only the top A B and C IIMs. The QS ranking focuses on the research culture mostly in which IIM Udaipur excels at. Its excellent research contributions has brought it in the league of the top 3 IIMs. But the FT rankings do not have only research as their parameter. So we can say that IIM Udaipur indeed is worthy of its position and rankings among the top IIMs.
What should be the order of choice for new IIMs, i.e. Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur, Kashipur, Rohtak and Raipur?
Your choice of college depends on your personal preferences and interests. One college might be suitable for you but not for others. So your question is subjective and cannot be answered directly.
Every individual ranks a college depending on his own perspective and goals.
I think the best way is to contact students or pass-outs from respective colleges, collect data and then make a decision based on your research and then your preference. You can also look up the official websites of the college to collect relevant data. Find out the parameters that matter to you the most in your choice of college. Some include placements, diversity, location, batch strength, or faculty. Do your part of the research and then choose the college that fulfills the maximum boxes in your priority list.

Which one should I choose between IIT Madras DoMS and IIM Udaipur for an MBA?
My choice will forever be IIM Udaipur solely because of the IIM tag. I know people will criticize me for this mindset but one cannot ignore the IIM brand name. Moreover IIT is a top technical institute but it’s a fact that its Management Department is not at par with the top B Schools.
- IIM Udaipur curriculum is way more rigorous and structured than that of IIT Madras.
- The 2-year flagship courses offered by IIMs just does not groom you academically but mentally also. It makes you ready to step into the real corporate world.
- The curriculum at IIMs are very demanding and require a lot of determination, hard work and sacrifices on the part of students. This disciplines them and also grooms their personality.
- The quality of peer learning is excellent at IIMs as you interact with masterminds from various backgrounds and fields.
Overall I feel curriculum-wise IIM has more to offer than an IIT simple because of the fact that it specializes in the field.
Can I crack CAT while studying in IIM Udaipur?
No, honestly I don’t think even an above average student can manage the IIM Curriculum and CAT preparation together. The first year or to be exact the first 2 terms of MBA are no joke. The students take time to adapt themselves to the tight schedule filled with assignments, projects, exams, seminars, summer placements and what not. They will even take time to adjust to the general culture of the B School and make new friends.
Students pursuing MBA at IIMs crave for extra time as they are sleep deprived. So preparing for CAT alongside is very difficult and almost impossible.
But if you are still stubborn about preparing for CAT, you will have to prepare yourself for sleepless nights, and not extracurricular activities during the day. No fundays will be allowed and you will have to stick to your schedule. Just make sure your grades at IIM Udaipur don’t take the blow. After all it’s the passion that fuels your desires.
