With 84% in 10th, 79% in 12th, a 7.89 CGPA and 3 yrs of work experience, am I eligible for the IIM Shillong and IIM Udaipur? I am a GEM.
You are eligible for both IIMs. Your academics, on the other hand, are mediocre, which can work against you.
IIM Udaipur will contact you solely on the basis of your CAT score. IIM Shillong, on the other hand, may or may not. IIM-S has stringent admission requirements.
My only piece of advice is to ignore everything else and concentrate on getting a high CAT percentile, preferably above 99.5, and you'll almost certainly get into one of the IIMs.
With a balanced sectional and good percentile in CAT, you should get calls from both these institutes. Also, prepare well for the interview. The interview part of admission is the most difficult, so try to be confident as much as you can.
If you are confident that you will get a great percentile in CAT, you can also apply for FMS.
Why are IIM Ranchi and Raipur underrated compared to IIM Udaipur even after better placement records?
I think the single most important reason why IIM Raipur and Ranchi are considered below IIM Udaipur is the lack of proper marketing. IIM Udaipur has managed to make its mark through enough marketing and promoting research culture. The IIMRs is also flawed in the sense that they are located in extremely poor economic states. This flaw overshadows all their features and the fact that they have better placement scenarios than IIM Udaipur.
Every IIM has set a certain goal and is gradually climbing the ladder to reach its level of excellence. The same is the case with IIMRs. In just a few years these two will be among the best IIMs in India.
Is joining new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur) worth it? How will be the career growth after an MBA from new ones?
The career growth offered by the new IIMs is difficult to analyze as they haven’t been established for long. One cannot infer their worth easily as its alumni are yet to establish themselves in the corporate world. It will take a few more years to determine the growth of CEO alums career-wise.
If you are concerned about the general job prospects, try going through the placement reports of these IIMs. You will get a general idea of the packages and roles offered.
To know if the new IIMs are worth going for, you need to check what you are expecting from these B Schools. If you are looking for basic learning and a small push to kickstart your career, the new IIMs will benefit you. But if you are on the lookout for high ROI, the new IIMs may or may not satisfy your expectations.

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.
I converted both IIM Ranchi and IIM Udaipur. What are some honest opinions because both have almost comparable rankings and placement reports?
The decision of choosing a college should be taken at an individual level. You can seek advice from others but not ask them to decide for you. Try to analyze what exactly you want from your MBA program. What is it you are seeking and how to achieve it? Once you are sure about that, college does not matter much.
Honesty both the IIMs you mentioned give an edge to each other. Still if I would have to choose one, I would go for IIM Udaipur because of its recent success stories. IIM Udaipur has seen a rise in international rankings like QS and FT. Earlier these rankings included only the top IIMs A, B and C. IIM Udaipur has proven its worth by appearing on such international rankings. It is also the youngest B-school in the “world” to be featured in the FT MiM Rankings.
IIM Udaipur is heaven for a research enthusiast. Its premium research culture is the reason for its recent rise in rankings. As far as placement is concerned, both the colleges have similar statistics. The table below has drawn a comparison between the two.

Which is better, bootcamp or an MBA from new IIM (Udaipur, Trichy) to switch to data analytics? I have a 3 years work experience as a QA engineer.
I will give you an insight into both the options you mentioned, i.eMBA from IIM or Bootcamp.
Bootcamp: If you are very passionate about Data Analytics then Bootcamp is the best option for you. I deem this course better than an MBA from B School as a B School covers various arenas of Management while Bootcamp solely focuses on what you are looking for. Moreover, you will end up paying hefty fees and will have to pay loans for years. It provided a detailed approach to Data Analytics and you don’t have to study irrelevant topics
B School: B schools like the new IIMs are good for people who are not certain of their career interests. In that case, B-school would teach you much more than Data Analytics, and then you can pursue the field you excel in or are most passionate about. The excellent pedagogy of IIMs enables you to inculcate skills like handling a project, building a workforce, execution, etc. Basically, you are groomed on an overall basis and get industry exposure as well.
I have seen many people pursuing MBA and also online courses that offer Certification in Data Analytics specifically. So that is also a viable option for you.
Which one is better, IIM Udaipur or IIM Trichy?
Both of these colleges belong in the same tier of B-School, but IIM Udaipur has a slight edge over IIM Trichy. IIM Udaipur is an academically driven place. You will get access to good learning opportunities. It also maintained a good placement record over the years. IIM Udaipur placements 2022 highlights the average and highest CTC offered was INR 19.5 LPA and INR 34.96 LPA.
Which college is better for MBA, IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur or SIBM Pune?
In the long run, it can be argued that the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) may offer better opportunities for learning and growth compared to the Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM). While an opportunity to learn from any IIM is certainly wonderful, it is worth noting that the IIMs are known for their rigorous academic programs and may push students very hard.
In terms of specific areas of study, IIM Trichy may have a stronger focus on finance compared to IIM Udaipur, but in other specializations, the two institutes may be relatively similar. However, IIM Udaipur may offer more support for entrepreneurs and may provide easier access to international exposure. Ultimately, the decision of which institute to attend should be based on an individual's priorities and goals.
What is a better choice, IIM Udaipur or FMS Delhi, and why?
FMS Delhi is a better choice among these. It is among the top B-Schools in the country and offers excellent ROI. FMS Delhi fees are only 1.92 lakhs. While the average CTC offered by the institute is INR 32.4 LPA. The institute achieved 100% placements this year.
In terms of placement, ROI, academic, and brand recognition, FMS is better than IIM Udaipur.
