Should I join IIM Shillong or IIFT Kolkata?

Both colleges are worth considering for a good career. Since its establishment in 2006, IIFT Kolkata has been climbing the ladder to success. The excellent performance in corporate competitions is a testimony to that. IIM Shillong is among the fastest-growing new IIMs and its alums are making a name in the industry.

We usually judge a college's worth based on factors like Alumni network, teaching pedagogy, corporate competition wins, etc. Yet, here I am going to simply make a domain-wise comparison. This is because when choosing a college focus should not be on the college but on your own interests. Identifying the domain you want to enter is necessary only then you can choose a college that excels in that respective domain.

• Marketing: Many Marketing firms visit only IIFT and not IIM Shillong giving it an advantage in this aspect.
• Finance: Finance is better at IIFT as the hotshots like Goldman Sachs only visit IIFT.
• Operations: Both the B Schools excel in this domain.
• Trade: Without any doubt, IIFT is the hub of Trade.
• Consulting: Consulting is better at IIFT because top firms like GEP, and CEB visit its campus only.
• IT: Both the B Schools are visited by top firms like Google.
