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?
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.

At SP Jain (SPJIMR), is it possible for a guy specialising in information management to get a job in finance or consulting or any other area?
Yes, there is a possibility of getting a job in Finance or Consulting despite having a specialization in Information Management. The chances are low though and vary for every role.
Consulting: It is a very broad domain and comprises both Functional (Operations, Finance, HR) and Industry area (Automotive, FMCG, Electrical, Oil and Gas). The interviews for consulting roles revolve around the projects that a company is involved in. Hence, your specialization in Information Management is irrelevant.
There are many companies with dedicated BUs/areas for IT/Tech Consulting. They give r more preference to IM specialization and students with prior exposure and experience in technology.
Apart from consulting, other domains like Marketing, Operations, and Finance have little scope for IIM specialization. This is because companies prefer candidates with prior experience or current specialization in the required area.
My advice to you would be to select your minor specialization as your area of interest. So it’s possible to get a job in consulting despite having IM specialization but the probability is low for most of the domains.

Is it worth to do tourism and hospitality management course from IIM Sirmaur for the sake of IIM tag?
One very important aspect that people forget while choosing colleges is the leader under which the college performs. Without effective leadership, any new IIM will become a worthless B School. One such example is IIM Trichy. IIM Trichy prospered under the leadership of Director Sri Prafulla Agnihotri who made Trichy what it is today. He constructed it from scratch. Through his relentless efforts, he was able to attract top professors and build a sound faculty base. He managed to provide the best through the temporary campus itself.
The same person Director Sri Prafulla Agnihotri is now leading IIM Sirmaur so I can say with conviction that if not immediately, then gradually Sirmaur’s brand name will improve magnificently in the years to come. So surely it is worth joining IIM Sirmaur and do the Tourism and Hospitality course.
