Which college should you choose for Operations management: IMT Ghaziabad, IMI New Delhi, or SIOM Nashik?
If you had to choose from the options mentioned, it's recommended to opt for a brand name. Your priority should be IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi, and SIOM Nashik.
When it comes to Operations Management, NITIE, and IITs are considered to be top-notch. They offer a comprehensive curriculum, job roles, and industry exposure, making them highly sought-after. In fact, IITs have established their brand in management, specifically due to their expertise in operations. However, when it comes to Operation major, NITIE remains unparalleled, as they have the longest chain of alumni in operations, holding high-level designations for many years.
If operations are still your preferred field, and you don't have any other options apart from NITIE or IITs, then your decision should be entirely based on the brand you are joining.

I am interested in marketing and operations. Which college should I choose for this - IMI Delhi or IIT Roorkee?
If you are a marketing enthusiast, IMI Delhi is a much preferable option for you. IIT Roorkee is known for its specialization in Operations and Systems only. To avail of an enriching B School experience one must try not to go for a technical institute unless it is IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi. While the Department of Managements of IITs do excel in Operations they lack in domains such as finance, marketing, HR, and strategic management. Only the exclusive B Schools excel in these specializations.
The main requisites of a rich B School life are
- Clubs and committees
- Excessive corporate exposure
- Relevant curriculum
Corporate exposure is sought through corporate competitions, guest lectures , conclaves, and live projects owing to alumni connections and the location advantage of being in Delhi or Mumbai. At a B School the clubs and committees are initiated and operated by Management students themselves whereas, at IITs, it’s the younger BTech graduates that do so.
So it’s the core B School life you will be missing out if you chose DOM at any Technical institute. No doubt the fees are much lower than an exclusive B School but you will be missing other things big time.

How useful is it to take executive development in Operations Management in Six Sigma from IIM Raipur?
Six Sigma is a widely recognized and valuable addition to Operations Management, as it can bring a wide range of tangible benefits to an organization. These benefits include reducing cycle times, meeting service level agreements (SLAs), increasing productivity, and improving quality.
When it comes to IIM-Raipur's specific program offering, it is not entirely clear, however, one can expect a high-quality program from the institution. When considering different Six Sigma training providers, it is important to carefully analyze them on various parameters such as the training model, mode, curriculum, accreditation, certification process, and pricing.
When looking for a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt program, you can expect the average pricing to fall within the range of 15-25k. Additionally, you may also want to consider e-Six Sigma, which has won a National Award for its training model and offers a unique and engaging learning experience.
Ultimately, the specific location where you undertake a Six Sigma training program is less important than the knowledge and skills you gain from it, and how you are able to justify that knowledge during an interview or application process.

- Most recruiters consider IMT a top B School of the country and give it preference to TAPMI

All these points clearly show that IMT Ghaziabad is better than TAPMI.
