IIM Kozhikode: 1 Answered Question

After a B.Tech from an IIT, should one go for an MBA from IIT Bombay / Delhi or from newer IIMs like Kozhikode or Ranchi?

Anubhav RajStudied at Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (2019)

The answer to your question is objectively based solely on your inclinations. IITs might offer a better ROI than IIMs. But had I been in your place I would have gone for the newer IIMs like Kozhikode or IIM Ranchi which is one of the fastest-growing IIMs. The reasons for taking this decision would have been

  • Better opportunities in finance, marketing, and consulting domains.
  • Better placement opportunities 
  • Better industry exposure
  • The prestige of being a part of the IIM alumni network
  • The IIM tag 

All these points make IIM a more tempting choice. Yet if you are tight on budget and just want to go for the Operations domain IIT will do fine for you.
