Comparing the new IIMs with the IIM ABC is rather ridiculous and not justified. Considering factors like infrastructure, faculty, and alumni base, the top IIMs are way ahead of the new ones. Even if the new IIMs tackle the infrastructure and faculty issue they can never match the extraordinarily strong alumni base of the older IIMs. The IIMs A, B, and C have given birth to many geniuses that have contributed largely to Indian society in various fields like arts, literature, sports, etc. They have even made impressions globally.
No matter how fast the new IIMs climb up the ladder and excel, they will never be able to match the alumni base and worth of older IIMs.
It is difficult to provide a definitive ranking of business schools as the best choice will depend on your individual priorities and goals. To determine which among IIM Udaipur, Trichy, Ranchi, and Raipur is the best fit for you, it is important to consider factors such as the curriculum and placement opportunities in your desired field, the focus on research, the availability of Students Exchange Programs and other opportunities for exposure, and the overall perception of the school.
If you have a specific field or area of focus in mind, you should look for a B-school that offers a strong curriculum and good placement prospects in that area. If you are interested in gaining hands-on research experience, you should consider schools that have a strong orientation toward research. If you are looking for opportunities to gain exposure and experience through programs like student exchange, you should consider schools with a strong track record in this area.
If you do not have a specific priority and are unable to identify a clear difference between the opportunities offered by different B-schools, you may want to consider their perception. While this can be difficult to quantify, their overall perception can impact the quality of your peers and the overall learning environment. To judge the perception of a B-school, you should do your own research and consider factors such as the reputation of the school, the accomplishments of its faculty and alumni, and the resources and support available to students. Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your personal goals and priorities.

IIM Udaipur is the dream college for every fitness freak. Unlike any new IIM, it is decked with world-class fitness equipment. If this wasn’t enough, IIM Udaipur is planning to upgrade the gym facilities even further. Some facilities include
Such elite facilities help the students stay fit amidst the tight deadlines and hectic schedules.
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.
Overall I feel curriculum-wise IIM has more to offer than an IIT simple because of the fact that it specializes in the field.
One of my friends went for this course and had a great experience and exposure through it. He described his first term experience as a thrilling one. The first term electives comprised the foundation of business such as Economics, Accounting, and Marketing. Etc. These foundation courses were combined with some digital industry subjects such as Advanced Analytics-I, Agile & DevOps.
Term 2 focuses more on technical subjects like Cloud, IoT, Blockchain, and digital business courses such as Digital Transformation Management, Product Management, etc. Students are asked to make projects on business implementation and understanding of Analytics and Technology.
Some major highlights of the program are
Overall his experience was quite good.

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.
