IFIM and Jaipuria Institute Lucknow both are highly preferred options when it comes to management studies. Given below is a comparison between the two institutes based on different parameters.

Apart from fees and placement, the few aspects that need to be considered are discussed below.

• With respect to the admission process, both the colleges accept CAT, XAT, and MAT. IFIM (75 percentile) has a high cut-off as compared to Jaipuria Institute (50 percentile).
• Both are private institutions that have AICTE affiliation but IFIM is ahead of Jaipuria in terms of placements and ranking.
