Which IIM is the best (IIM Kashipur, IIM Udaipur or IIM Tiruchirappalli)?
Depending on who you ask, this question has a variety of answers. The majority of the students, faculty, and business representatives you'll come into contact with, however, rank Kashipur last among the three colleges mentioned.
Most people, especially in the south, prefer Trichy over Udaipur when it comes to placements. However, in the past two years, people from Mumbai, Calcutta, and Delhi region have also made this recommendation. One reason for this is that Udaipur is overly dependent on its director, who, according to reports, has a narrow perspective on placements. Contrarily, Trichy is thought to take a more well-rounded and superior approach to academics, extracurriculars, and placements. This is why Trichy was chosen over Udaipur.
How were placements in IIM TRICHY for the current academic year?
The average salary offered to the graduating batch of 2022 at IIM Tiruchirappalli was INR 17.01 LPA. This year saw an increase in the salaries offered to students, with the highest salary reaching INR 34 LPA and the median salary. A total of 110+ companies participated in the placement drive, making 228 offers to students across all batches. There was a significant increase in consulting offers made to the PGPM batch, comprising 47% of the total offers.

The campus saw the participation of regular recruiters such as ABFRL, Avalon Consulting, Bain & Company, BNY Mellon, Cognizant, Deloitte, GAIL, Godrej, HSBC, ICICI, Microsoft, NatWest, Optum, JP Morgan & Chase, Ultra tech, McKinsey & Co, Samsung, and TATA AIG. In addition, the campus also established new relationships with leading recruiters such as Accenture Strategy & Consulting, Adani Wilmar, Axis Bank, Capgemini, Chargebee, CRISIL, EXL Services, EY GDS, IBM, Infosys Consulting, Reliance Retail, and Wells Fargo.
Considering that my profile is: 10th- 89.2 12th- 74.2 Grad. (Engg)- 8.5 PG- 8.0, which one is better: the NMIMS Mumbai, the IIM Rohtak, the IIM Raipur, the IIM Ranchi, the IIM Trichy, the IIM Udaipur
The aspects of judging a college’s worth depend on the following factors
- legacy
- alumni experience
- perception among peers
- quality of students
- faculty
- institute culture
- events and activities
- pedagogy
- Summer and final placement opportunities
NMIMS renders you short-term advantages but IIMs offer many long term advantages. Even the faculty is better at IIMs than at NMIMS. But being a new institute, it lacks an alumni base. Any far-sighted person can definitely say that your IIM tag will help you in the long run.

IIM Udaipur>IIM Ranchi>IIM Trichy>IIM Rohtak> IIM Raipur>IIM Kashipur

Which IIM should I prefer out of IIM Udaipur, IIM Trichy, and IIM Ranchi?
I think that Udaipur is one of the most underrated IIMs. To elaborate on this point let me enlighten you with some amazing facts about it
- IIM Udaipur is the youngest B-school in the world to rank in the top 100 FT(Financial Times) Masters in Management ranking globally.
- It ranks better than IIM Indore
- It is ranked along with IIM Indore in the 101+ category in the World QS Ranking

In reality IIM Udaipur is an IIM that has an extensive research culture. The rankings are a reflection of how quickly it has climbed the ladder. It is due to its high-quality research that many excellent permanent faculty has become a part of IIM Udaipur. This does not make it the best IIM but still, it is heading toward becoming the best.
Another major attraction of this institute is its impartial nature in every aspect be it placements or admissions. The students are not deceived at any point at all.
The placement statistics are seeing a gradual improvement over the past few years.

What is better: PGPM at IIM Trichy or Great lakes Institute of Management, Chennai?
IIM Trichy may be a good choice if you value the brand value of IIMs. However, Great Lakes Institute of Management (GL) outperforms IIM Trichy in several areas:
- The average CTC at GL is INR 17.86 LPA, while at IIM Trichy it is INR 17.01 LPA. However, the one-year program at GL allows students to enter the job market faster, mitigating the difference in CTC. In addition, the batch size at GL is larger and the highest CTC offered is higher than that at IIM Trichy every year.
- GL has a higher quality faculty compared to IIM Trichy and can only be compared to the top 5 institutes in India in terms of faculty.
- GL has a larger alumni base.
- Some companies, such as TCS, offer higher tier profiles to students at GL compared to those at IIM Trichy. Both institutes have a focus on IT placements, making this comparison significant.
- GL is recognized by AMBA, one of the three largest business school accreditation organizations, and is also a GMAT preferred school.
- The quality of students at GL is on par with IIM Trichy. The average CAT/XAT score at GL is 94%ile, with a cut-off around 90. The average percentile is likely to be higher than IIM Trichy as the cut-offs for reserved categories at IIMs are lower.
There are numerous comparisons where GL outperforms IIM Trichy. However, other B-schools such as JBIMS, MDI Gurgaon, and IIFT Delhi may also be considered over new IIMs.
Is it worth choosing IIM Ranchi, Trichy for MBA in terms of placement and future scope?
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 was your IIM Trichy interview experience?
Here is the IIM Trichy interview experience of a candidate.
It was a cold morning in Bangalore. Finding Monarch Luxury was not difficult for someone who was familiar with the city. On the way, the candidate stopped at a nearby shop to buy the day's newspaper. Upon arriving at the venue on time, she was directed to the waiting hall where all the other candidates were already present. The candidate felt underdressed in their plain red kurta when they saw the other candidates dressed in business formals, complete with blazers.
Reminding herself that she was just one step away from the prestigious IIM tag, the candidate took a seat. The process soon began.
The topic for the WAT (Written Ability Test) was "Weddings and restaurants have different varieties of food and most of the time a large amount goes to waste. In a country like India, we cannot afford that. What are your thoughts about the same?" The candidate found that all of the large-scale topics they had prepared for this moment were useless, as this was not something they could have studied beforehand. They were simply asked to express their opinion on the given topic on an A4 sheet.
After their WAT, the candidate waited outside the PI (Personal Interview) room and tried to remember everything she had studied in the past few days. She read the newspaper and decided to go over the story of Great Britain and David Cameron in detail. She heard other candidates speaking to each other and sharing their experiences. They were asked questions about their favorite subject in their graduation course. The candidate began to panic, as she loved engineering mathematics but did not think she would be able to solve problems in front of the interviewers. She also did not want to mention coding as a favorite subject, even though she had a computer science engineering degree, because she was not proficient in it.
When her turn finally arrived, the candidate stepped into the PI room hoping they would not be asked about their graduation. The panel consisted of two men and a woman, all of whom welcomed the candidate with a smile and put them at ease. The interviewers asked the candidate about the meaning of their name, their work at IBM, and their reasons for leaving her job to pursue an MBA. The candidate was also asked about their reading habits, current events, and their career goals. The interview concluded with the interviewers thanking the candidate and wishing them luck.
