Master of Business Administration [MBA] From IIM Ranchi, Ranchi

Q: How do you rate getting an MBA from a new IIM like IIM Ranchi or IIM Trichy? Should one wait a year and try getting into better B schools instead?

IIM Ranchis MBA placement drive for 2022 saw 77 companies visit the campus for recruitment. The highest and average packages offered during this placement drive were INR 42 LPA and INR 16.62 LPA, respectively. IIM Trichys final placement report for 2022 showed that the institute attracted over 110 industry giants who offered a variety of job roles in Sales & Marketing, Finance, Consulting, IT & Analytics, Operations, and HR. The highest and average packages offered during this placement drive were INR 34 LPA and INR 17.01 LPA, respectively. There are several ways to compare the quality of MBA programs at new IIMs such as IIM Ranchi and IIM Trichy. One method is to look at student performance and perception as reflected in B-school surveys. You can also try finding information about the experiences of graduates from these institutes. Another way to gauge the quality of an MBA program is to look at the performance of students in competitions, such as recruitment challenges, quizzes, paper presentations, and management fests. While these events can provide insight into student abilities, they may not necessarily reflect the capabilities of the faculty at a given institute. To get a better understanding of the faculty of an MBA program, you may want to consider the learning approach of the program. A good MBA program will have faculty members who have both studied the subject area extensively and have practical experience in the field. You can also look at the clubs and events related to marketing at the institute, as well as any visiting faculty, guest lectures, workshops, or training that have been held in the last one to two years. A reputable institute should make this information publicly available.

IIM Ranchi: 10 Answered Questions

Is it worth choosing IIM Ranchi, Trichy for MBA in terms of placement and future scope?

Shravan KumarPGDM from Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2018)

Yes, you can easily choose IIM Ranchi or Trichy based on their placement statistics because the placement scenarios at both IIMs seem promising despite the lack of infrastructure and campus facilities. In many cases, Trichy and Ranchi have exchanged leads outside the ABC and LIK worlds. All can be overcome if you are taught by the best professors.

Elaborating further, IIM Trichy seems better than Ranchi or Rohtak to me. The reason being the superior teaching methods and its favorable location both for students as well as recruiters. Apart from Trichy, other IIMs are also doing fairly well compared to non-CAT MBA institutes. These are doing well with the help of sponsor IIMs which arrange faculty and placements. These in turn select their own Directors and invest in the infrastructure required in another 3–4 years as Trichy and Ranch have already done.

How is IIM Ranchi MBA finance?

Payal GuptaStudied Accounting and Finance (Graduated 2022)

Since you are curious about finance only, I will try to answer your question based on the Finance domain only. To elaborate let’s consider the following merits and demerits

Merits

Placements: IIM Ranchi is a new IIM so you cannot get front-end IB roles right off the bat. Yet it offers many roles that can be your stepping stones into the finance world. It does not offer front roles in IB, PE, VC, and bulge bracket equity research. One cannot expect such roles in the near future. But the fact is all these roles are available at the top IIMs only to the cream students. So if your profile is the same, changing the institute won’t matter. Many reputed Investment Banks offer middle office roles like Private credit, Debt capital firms, and Outsourced financial research firms. These roles can kick start your career in finance if not grant you a high-paying job.
Faculty: The finance faculty is just average here and only those who are really motivated and determined can survive. Some even quit finance in the second year due to the same reason. The teaching quality is diverse and some may find it not at par with their expectations.
Crowd: Most of the students opt for Finance as one of their majors in the second year. Additionally, a team even won the CFA RC India competition and represented India in the Asia Pacific finals. So the crowd is diverse and of premium quality.
CFA: The CFA Certification aims at enhancing finance knowledge and placements at large. The class lectures combined with the theoretical knowledge of CFA will make it very easy for you to understand Finance in depth.

Demerits:

Lack of major front-end role opportunities
Tools like Bloomerang are not much common in the curriculum
The relatively new courses in Finance like PE/VC, alternative investments, REITs, SPACs, IPO financing, and M&A are not given enough focus.
The teaching faculty needs to be improved

All in all I think IIM Ranchi is a decent choice for Finance and in the years to come will have improved a lot.

Is it worthwhile to pursue an MBA from IIT Bombay, IIM Trichy or IIM Ranchi?

Devesh OjhaStudied Master of Business Administration Degrees at Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (Graduated 2021)

My brother was in a similar dilemma as he wondered if spending high fees and 2 years of his life at a new IIM was even worth it. But eventually, he joined it and today he is glad he took the decision. Some major reasons for his satisfaction are

The amazing exposure he could experience through Corporate Competitions, Live Projects, and Guest Lectures.
Interacting with industry experts and top-notch visiting faculties from throughout the country.
The innumerable student activities like Management fest, AGON & Sports and Cultural fest, and RUSH made it possible for the students to promote their talents at the National level.
Some of the best Clubs and Committees that improve your organizational as well as extracurricular skills.

So yes, joining IIM Ranchi for an MBA is worth every rupee and every second you spend.

Are New IIMs (Trichy, Udaipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur, Kashipur) good for MBA in Finance? If not suggest some B-schools. Really interested in investment banking.

Shrey BankaBMS from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (Graduated 2022)

Honestly speaking, a career in investment banking should not be considered by the new IIMs. It’s a too ambitious profile to match the relatively new curriculum of these IIMs. Even if you are in a top B School, you will have to remain among the top students to get placed for a front-end role. One can still get roles in corporate & business finance but getting roles in Investment Banking is rather difficult.

Yet if you are not choosing an older IIM and want to choose a newer one, IIM Trichy is the best among them. The order is

IIM Trichy > IIM Udaipur > IIM Ranchi

There are many B Schools apart from IIMs that offer great Investment Banking roles. These include SPJIMR, JBIMS Mumbai, IIFT, and XLRI.

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.

Is it worth for IIM Ranchi MBA graduate with 3 year of previous work-ex in IT to join mu sigma as apprentice leader trainee?

Manash Jyoti DasStudied MBA in Marketing at Indian Institutes of Management (2020)

No, I certainly will not suggest that you go for MU Sigma as an apprentice leader trainee. There are many better options like joining a structured, organized company with a decent work ambiance. These aspects are missing in MU Sigma which has a weird business model. The business model is based on the concept ‘Throw them in water, they will learn to swim”. That is if they are made to face hardships they will end up learning the skill to survive. In reality, this has caused relentless suffering to the professionals, the managers, and most importantly the clients. Everybody is clueless and no proper targets are allotted. So I am completely against you joining MU Sigma.

How do you rate getting an MBA from a new IIM like IIM Ranchi or IIM Trichy? Should one wait a year and try getting into better B schools instead?

Anamica AgarwalPh.D from Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (Graduated 2017)

IIM Ranchi's MBA placement drive for 2022 saw 77 companies visit the campus for recruitment. The highest and average packages offered during this placement drive were INR 42 LPA and INR 16.62 LPA, respectively.

IIM Trichy's final placement report for 2022 showed that the institute attracted over 110 industry giants who offered a variety of job roles in Sales & Marketing, Finance, Consulting, IT & Analytics, Operations, and HR. The highest and average packages offered during this placement drive were INR 34 LPA and INR 17.01 LPA, respectively.

Which one is better for an MBA consultancy with 6 years of IT experience: IIM Ranchi or IIM Trichy?

Yash ChandraManagement Graduate in Business Management & Marketing, Indian Institutes of Management (Graduated 2018)

IIM Trichy is an institute that has demonstrated significant improvement in recent years and is focused on becoming one of the top 5 IIMs. It has a strong connection with industry, which is further strengthened by the presence of its Chennai Centre, which directly connects with industries across India. The institute also receives close mentorship from IIM Bangalore, allowing students to receive lectures from the best professors at both IIM Bangalore and IIM Calicut.

In terms of placements, IIM Trichy has consistently performed well. The MBA (PGPM) 2020-2022 batch achieved 100% placement, with a 15% increase in the average salary, which rose to INR 17.01 LPA from INR 14.85 LPA the previous year. The final placement report for 2022 showed that over 110 industry giants offered a variety of job roles in fields such as sales and marketing, finance, consulting, IT and analytics, operations, and HR. The highest package offered during this placement drive was INR 34 LPA.

Is joining new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur) worth it? How will be the career growth after an MBA from new ones?

Arvind Balakrishnan99.22 CAT'16, PGPM at MDI Gurgaon

The career growth offered by the new IIMs is difficult to analyze as they haven’t been established for long. One cannot infer their worth easily as its alumni are yet to establish themselves in the corporate world. It will take a few more years to determine the growth of CEO alums career-wise.

If you are concerned about the general job prospects, try going through the placement reports of these IIMs. You will get a general idea of the packages and roles offered.

To know if the new IIMs are worth going for, you need to check what you are expecting from these B Schools. If you are looking for basic learning and a small push to kickstart your career, the new IIMs will benefit you. But if you are on the lookout for high ROI, the new IIMs may or may not satisfy your expectations.

What is going to be a better option among the following B schools - VGSOM, new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Raipur), or NMIMS?

Rajat TokasXaviers || NIT DURGAPUR || L&T || MDI gurgaon(2020-2022)

When it comes to choosing a business school, the competition is fierce and the options can be overwhelming. Three institutes that are considered to be among the top in the country are the Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSOM) at IIT Kharagpur, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi, and the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS).

If you are interested in an operations profile, then VGSOM is a great choice. It is considered to be one of the best institutes in the country for operations specialization, after NITIE. Additionally, the return on investment (ROI) is high. IIM Ranchi, on the other hand, may have a lower average package compared to the other two institutes, but it has the prestige of the IIM tag and a decent profile. The hostels are also fabulous, with single rooms available for students.

NMIMS is considered to be more costly and the batch strength is over 500 students. The top 150-200 students get superb packages and roles that are at par with other top B-schools, however, the next lot of students may have a lot of start-ups, etc. If you want to play safe, VGSOM or IIM Ranchi might be the best option.

However, if you are willing to take a risk, NMIMS might be a good choice as the profiles there are really good. It's ultimately up to you to decide which institute aligns best with your career goals and objectives. Rest assured, whichever institute you choose, you will be choosing a great institution as all three are among the top institutes in the country.
