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.

I am aware of the placement scenario at IIM Udaipur only as my sister recently graduated from it.

Operations

The faculty base of this domain specifically is very experienced and includes world class professors like Director Prof. Janat Shah. 

Apart from faculty, the club SKEIN conducts national level summits (SCM Summit) by inviting industry experts to enlighten the students.

Consulting

The consulting club ConsultU takes charge of providing live projects throughout the year for students.

How good is IIM Raipur, and what is the position amongst the six new IIMs and Shillong?

AS
Abhijeet Singh Posted On : January 16th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Shillong (2019)

Before I compare IIM Raipur with the 6 new IIMs, let me clarify one thing. IIM Shillong belongs to a whole different league so IIM Raipur can be compared to the new IIMs only.

    1. IIM Shillong: It lies at a different level as it is oldest among the new IIMs and is almost considered among the older IIMs. The placement figures are a testament to the fact.
    2. IIM Ranchi: Next in line comes IIM Ranchi which functions under the mentorship of IIM Calcutta. Its placement opportunities are much better than new IIMs.
    3. IIM Trichy: Another fast growing IIM is IIM Trichy. 
    4. IIM Raipur/Udaipur: It is only after Trichy that Raipur is placed. Being situated in the capital city of Chattisgarh, Raipur has a location advantage over Kashipur and Rohtak. The faculty is also top notch and the airports provide connectivity to various parts of the country.
    5. IIM Rohtak/Kashipur: Both these IIMs are at the same level. Kashipur faced a slight location disadvantage, decreasing the changes of guest lectures and Industry and Business Leader interactions. Rohtak has a location advantage of being situated near to the capital but its placements are the worst of all the 6 IIMs.

So one should choose Raipur out of Kashipur/ Raipur/ Udaipur.

How would you rank and choose among IIM Trichy, Raipur, Ranchi and Kashipur?

MM
Madhura Mukhopadhyay Posted On : January 13th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Shillong (Expected 2023)

The distinctions between Ranchi and Trichy are razor thin. Both second-generation IIMs are performing admirably in their respective leagues. Here is a comparison of Ranchi and Trichy based on various parameters. Raipur and Kashipur lag far behind these two IIMs.

Parameters:

  • Placements: Ranchi and Trichy have remarkably similar placements. Ranchi's average package is 16.62 LPA, while Trichy's average package is 17.01 LPA.
  • Campus: Trichy, hands down, for campus life. Trichy has a modern 175-acre campus with all amenities. In 2021, the institute began moving to a permanent campus on a 60-acre plot in Dhurwa.
  • Locational Advantage: Both have a geographical advantage. Ranchi is near XLRI, Jsr. Trichy is conveniently located between Bangalore and Chennai. Trichy is also home to NIT Trichy, the best NIT in the country.
  • Perception: Trichy's perception is rapidly expanding. It is fairly obvious from all B-school rankings. So, with the exception of marketing, you can choose IIM Trichy over IIM Ranchi for any specialization. Ranchi's marketing is effective.

Therefore, taking everything into account, the final ranking will be Trichy>Ranchi>>Raipur>>Kashipur.

How would you compare New IIMs primarily Raipur and Trichy to SIBM Pune?

SS
Shweta Sachdeva Posted On : January 13th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (Graduated 2020)

I think you mean how the new IIMs can be compared to SIBM Pune. Rather than comparing, I will tell you what and why people are preferring the former over the latter.

Despite SIBM being an already well-established B School with better placement opportunities, many students prefer IIM Trichy over it. There are two major reasons for the same

  1. IIM tag
  2. IIM Trichy seems to be growing fairly well

The fact that people prefer it over SIBM, clearly speaks of its position in the future. Also, the IIM Tag seems very tempting considering its long-term benefits.

So go for SIBM Pune if you are only looking for a high-paying job. But for futuristic benefits, any new IIM will do.

Which one of the two would be a better choice, IIM Raipur or IIM Kashipur?

BK
Bhoomika Kathuria Posted On : January 13th, 2023
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Kashipur (Graduated 2018)

IIM Delhi would have been a reality if capital cities were the only places that could draw high-caliber placements. Since many of the participants in this thread appear to be unaware of the paradox that geography affects employment opportunities. 

Slow placements and offer retraction have been a source of complaint for many IIMs. In addition, numerous IIMs, including Raipur, according to the papers, have been asked to submit their reports for review by the MHRD due to unsatisfactory data. But Kashipur is not at all a part of these worrying developments. IIM Kashipur was given the all-clear despite not encountering either of the issues.

If you compare the reports, which basically show people don't give a hoot about geography if they have the quality to be obtained, it still has one of the highest numbers of companies visiting the campus. In contrast, IIM Kashipur's numbers have consistently outperformed those of comparable institutions, and one can also see that the roles available are comprehensive and varied.

So, if you want a quality education and a quality job that will be a uniform outcome of quality education, go somewhere that is off-limits to the rest of the world.

Which would be a better choice, IIM Raipur or IIM Trichy?

PM
Praveen Makam Posted On : January 12th, 2023
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2018)

I think firstly you need to change your mindset. Rather than pondering on which college is better, ponder on which college is better for you. Analyzing your situation this way will enable you to make a wiser decision. This is because only you truly know what you want from your MBA degree, and that is the sole basis for deciding your choice of college.

Now identifying your own interests and preferences might be a tricky task. I have some tips that might help you know your forte.

  • Use the research tools of today’s world and study different colleges
  • Try to find what you want to achieve after completing your MBA
  • If you have decided on a certain domain, go through the alumni profiles of that specific domain. Check the same for various B Schools analyzing which B School has the maximum percentage of alumni in that domain.
  • Study the culture of various B Schools you are choosing from
  • Look for location advantages and accessibility 

Checking all these aspects might help you come up with a healthy decision. Don’t be hasty to choose a B School as this decision will affect your career.
