You can also connect with the alumni of the respective colleges and ask their personal opinions.
The most suitable college for you is the one that satisfies your priorities. So the first step is to identify your priorities.
In case you are still unsure, enquire about the Median salary and compare it. Choose your college wisely as it’s the deciding factor of your career.
I don’t even need to ponder over this question for a long time. The answer is very simple. You should choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Sirmaur for MBA. The reason being its new establishment. People don’t care if you are an IIM student unless you belong to the older ones. The new IIMs are yet to make a mark in the industry especially the likes of IIM Jammu and Sirmaur.
IIT Roorkee on the other hand is very good at placements and peer learning. Given the current situation of both institutes, IIT Roorkee is definitely the better option. The IIM tag offered by Sirmaur lacks credibility and even if it will be beneficial, it will be after some years and not right away.
To draw a specific comparison between the 3 B Schools you have mentioned I will simply compare their placement statistics in a tabular form.

The decision here is based on what you value more. IIM Kashipur will give you the IIM label as well as better infrastructural facilities. DoMS at IIT Roorkee can provide a decent ROI, but it comes with a humble learning environment rather than the rigorous teaching curriculum for which an IIM is known.
When selecting a B school, the following criteria should be considered:
Location should be the least important of the aforementioned criteria. Furthermore, DoMS at IIT Roorkee is a one-building department, whereas IIM Kashipur is a full-fledged B school with some of the best infrastructural facilities.
When it comes to ROI, it's not always about the money you put into college and the CTC you get back, but rather the profile you started with and the future growth you achieve.
