Which should I prioritize, IRMA or IIM Raipur? My main objective is core/quality learning and the value of the degree in the long run. A lucrative job is secondary.

IRMA is a well-established MBA institution that has been in operation for 43 years, while IIM Raipur and Rohtak are relatively newer institutions, established only 12-14 years ago. IRMA has a strong reputation in a variety of fields such as marketing, financial roles, agribusiness, sales and marketing, development organizations, international organizations, and government agencies. In contrast, IIM Raipur and Rohtak are known for their expertise in consulting and financial domains. It is important to note that these newer IIMs may not yet be comparable to more established institutions like IRMA.

With the increasing number of IIMs in various states, the competition for job opportunities and seats in these institutions is becoming more intense. Some of the graduates from IIM Raipur and Rohtak may not be able to earn as high of a salary as those from IRMA after a few years of experience. Therefore, if you are looking for a prestigious MBA program with a well-respected reputation and the potential for a high-paying job, IRMA is an excellent choice. If you are primarily interested in the prestige of an IIM degree, IIM Raipur and Rohtak may be suitable for you.

IRMA has a strong track record of attracting companies for campus recruitment, such as Amul, Mother Dairy, Pidilite, Verka, ITC, Coca-Cola, Varun Beverage, UNICEF, World Bank, UNDP, Niti Aayog, Nabard, Nabcons, Vedanta, Tata Motors, Grant Thornton, PwC, Dabur, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, YES Bank, Axis Bank.
