What is the preferred order among IIM Amritsar, IIM Bodh Gaya, or IIT Roorkee for taking an MBA course? Where should I attend?

My brother has offers from Bodhgaya as well as Amritsar but chose the former for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons have been listed below 

• IIM Bodh Gaya was initially under the mentorship of IIM Calcutta for five years and thus adopts a similar teaching methodology which is phenomenal.
• The curriculum caters to various arenas of Management and is updated to meet the changing demand of the industry.
• Despite being a new IIM, it has been able to make its mark in terms of batch size, profile, academics, and placements.
• IIM Bodh Gaya Placements 2023 has a record of 100% placements. The average salary increased by 33% at INR 16 LPA whereas the highest salary increased by more than 100% at INR 48.58 LPA. 70 recruiters participated in the placement drive. Some of the top recruiters are Amazon, BNY Mellon, Deloitte, HCL, Infosys, and ICICI Bank 
• Several clubs and committees run by students keep the campus life dynamic and promote extracurricular activities as well.
• An E-Cell runs to promote startup culture among the students through summits, events, and competitions since its inception.
• IIM Bodh Gaya is known for its academic rigor and thus has collaborations with various international B-schools for an exchange program for both the students and the faculty members. 
• The ROI is also high around 99%

IIM Bodh Gaya is a perfect blend of academic rigor, and opportunities for growth and extracurricular activities and thus should be preferred over IIM Amritsar. As far as IIT Roorkee is concerned, MBA is best done from a Business School as the environment is an important factor that is lacking in the case of an engineering college like IIT Roorkee.

IIM Amritsar is the best option among these for pursuing an MBA. In fact, it is the best among all 3rd generation IIMs. The student crowd of the institute is excellent. You will get ample peer learning opportunities. 

IIM Amritsar placements have been great over the years. In 2022, the average CTC offered was INR 14.63 LPA. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 25.21 LPA. BFSI, and FinTech are the major industries that recruit through the campus drive.
