Becoming a professor from the new IIMs is definitely possible but rare. The FPM program offered at the new IIMs has varied peers some being freshers while some with Masters from foreign universities.
The following things matter when selecting an Assistant Professor in a new IIM
The chances are rare because most of the new IIMs have professors who have done Ph.D. from older IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta. Ph.D. is a program that totally depends on your performance and research. The initial years focus solely on research training and cannot be enough to make you eligible for faculty positions.
So your chances are rare but not null.
Last year my cousin got admission for the new IPM program by IIM Rohtak, and according to his experiences, here are some key highlights you need to have a look at before going for it.
Once you successfully complete the course, you will be awarded a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree by IIM Rohtak.
Pros:
Cons:
A five-year integrated course is a great option if you are looking to pursue an MBA altogether after your graduation without having to clear additional formalities and hustle. Also, if fee structure and budget is not a constraint for you, you can definitely choose this course. However, if you aspire to pursue MBA from other top institutes or abroad, this course is not for you.
The goal of Executive Programs is to enhance the already existing skills of working professionals. The worth of the main Executive Program of any given institute depends on the following 2 factors
Due to the above reasons the Executive Programs at IIM Rohtak have no placement assistance at all.
If a college's ranking is important to you, there are thousands of ranking websites online that can tell you where these institutions stand in relation to one another. If you believe infrastructure is what you are looking for, you will find everything you need to finish the course in all of these. The faculty at IIM Kashipur is among the best in the country. If you are willing to listen, they have a lot to share from their experience and subject knowledge.
What distinguishes a good institute is the amount of time you spend there as well as the type of exposure and opportunities you receive. IIM Kashipur has a large number of academic clubs, including those focused on finance, marketing, human resources, analytics, and other subjects. These clubs are always working to plan workshops, competitions, and guest lectures from experts in their fields. To ensure you don't miss any opportunities, they will constantly keep you informed about the various competitions that take place in other business schools.
This is not an appropriate question for a course that began only a few years ago. This course has the potential to develop youngsters from all over the world, and the one in Indore has ensured that.
However, this course gives students the opportunity to venture into new directions in unfamiliar territory, which will only benefit future generations of students. So, instead of being concerned about this program in Rohtak, one should wait for at least 3-4 batches to graduate.

The ePGPx program is a 1-year diploma program from IIM Rohtak, not to be confused with MBA or other executive programs. It is an intense course where you need to have at least 100 contact hours (20 days) on the campus and the remaining is online.
The course curriculum is quite rigorous and does not make you feel like it's an executive one as the modules and professors are the same with a blended approach of both offline and online classes.
One of my friends is about to complete this course at IIM Rohtak and here’s what he has to say:
All in all, ePGPx at IIM Rohtak is quite a comprehensive learning experience. Since it’s the only IIM in the NCR region growing at a fast pace, it’s a good idea to be a part of the campus. However, the major downside lies with the fact that they don’t provide placement for this course, hence, choose wisely.
Every IIM is considered an Institute of National Importance and its students are therefore offered excellent educational loans without any collateral and very low-interest rates.
Moreover, a scheme in SBI - SBI Scholar Loan, offers a collateral-free loan of about 2,000,000 Rupees. Apart from this many banks readily offer loans as soon as you enter the PGP program at an IIM. This is because they are sure of the credibility of these institutes and have no doubts regarding their students. They know they are investing in people who will be paying them back tenfold. You can easily avail this benefit of being a part of a reputed institute and IIMs brand value.
My brother is currently in IPM first year at IIM Rohtak. IPM Freshers are provided with good hostel facilities.
The large Air-conditioned four seater rooms have bunk beds in them. To be more specific, each room is composed of 2 smaller rooms that are connected through a door. There is an attached washroom for each four seater room. The design is similar to service apartments.
IIM Rohtak campus is new, so its hostel infrastructure is more modern and well developed in comparison to other similar colleges.
In terms of placement, NITIE is the best followed by SIBM Pune, and finally IIM Rohtak. In terms of brand value, IIM Rohtak comes first, followed by NITIE and then SIBM.
Depending on whether you want the IIM tag, you should attend NITIE, SIBM Pune, or IIM Rohtak for Operations. NITIE has a firm grasp on operations and is well-known for it. Furthermore, the Mumbai location is advantageous. If you want to pursue a career in marketing, SIBM Pune should be your first choice.
IIM Rohtak will be considered after these two colleges because it is a relatively new brand that, like the other IIMs, will take time to establish itself.
