Has anyone rejected SP Jain for IIM Indore?

Many people reject IIM Indore/Kozhikode for SPJIMR and vice versa. This is because, at the end of the day, it depends on your goals. Generally, most of the top B-schools have an excellent quality of education and other decisive factors.

As the question is quite subjective, you might be surprised to know that there are more reasons to reject IIM Indore for SP Jain instead. Although IIM Indore would bring you the IIM Tag there's nothing much to vouch for as it's newly established and isn’t at par with top IIMs like Bangalore, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, etc.

However, here are some reasons why SP Jain stands as a better choice.

• You can choose a specialization. Whether it is consulting or GenMan.
• Your specialization phase is about 3-4 months in the second year.
• SPJIMR has all the required subjects for modern industry needs. They also have a rural immersion, international immersion with partner schools in the US.
• You can participate in a course where you can be a part of the committee. Also an opportunity to mentor an underprivileged child. 
• All these activities instill skills of being a well-rounded manager in you.
• You can also learn interesting and innovative subjects like Design Thinking.
• SP Jain boasts a smaller batch size than IIM which means you get to interact more closely with your mentors.

Overall, MBA at SPJIMR is quite an experience. Yes IIM Indore must also have advantages like brand tag or alumni base, but you can enjoy better subject structure, schedule, smaller batch size, better placements, etc. at SP Jain. In the end, it’s totally an individual preference.
