IIM Bodh Gaya has three hostels
Some major highlights of these hostels are
Mess
Like the hostel facilities, the mess here is also very good. Every hostel has a separate mess. Food is provided according to the 4 meals per day program that includes breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner. Both non-veg and veg cuisines are available. The mess is large enough to accommodate 50-60 people at a time. Hygiene is strictly maintained and clean drinking water is provided.
So both the mess and hostel facilities at IIM Bodh Gaya are decent enough to ensure a smooth and comfortable hostel life.
Yes, the IPM program of IIM Jammu and Bodh Gaya is definitely worth it. The points below will further justify its worth
So joining the IPM program at IIM Bodh Gaya is worth it and will reap you benefits after some years.
You should choose IIM Bodhgaya between these two. Since IIM Calcutta is the mentor institute, you will be taught by the faculties of IIM C. The placements of IIM Bodhgaya are also managed by IIM Calcutta, so you can expect good placement offers. The batch of 2022 students received an average CTC of INR 12.36 LPA.
Compare the summer and final placement reports of both batches for all the 3 years. Look up the student clubs and activities on both campuses. They are absolutely necessary for your 2 years there. Finally, look up the professors in both colleges, majorly for the subject, you will probably be specializing in. Good professors impart their experience along with education. Keep in mind that IIM Bodhgaya, however, lags behind in one vital factor i.e., the number of students. In all probability, the students in the upcoming batch (your would-be batch) in Sirmaur will be more than if you were in Bodhgaya. A healthy amount of interaction matters a lot, especially because it's a business school and you benefit from the range of ideas numbers can provide.
However, the final decision is up to you entirely. Assign weights to the above factors and decide accordingly. After taking the decision, do not second guess your choice after going into one of the colleges. Make the best of your time there. Chase excellence in every facet of your MBA while you are there. If you do this, the choice part will cease to matter in a few months.
Yes, personally I think if you have the above options only, then definitely go for IIM Bodh Gaya. The institute has many perks that will not leave you regretting your decision.
All these advantages make IIM Bodh Gaya a better choice.
Generally speaking, IIM Sambalpur and IIM Bodh Gaya are baby IIMs and quite similar in the sense that they have been established around the same time and have similar facilities. Yet if I had to choose one, I would always go for IIM Bodh Gaya because of the following reasons:

We can say that IIM Bodh Gaya has made quite a mark despite being recently established. It has witnessed fast-paced growth over the past few years so it’s definitely a good choice.
It’s up to you to decide which college to go to. I can only throw some light on the advantages IIM Jammu has over other newly established IIMs including IIM Bodh Gaya
These points are based on my friends' experience only. If you ask others I am sure you will see mixed responses. This is because both the IIMs are newly established and don’t have much difference.
The permanent campus of IIM Bodh Gaya is still under construction and is expected to be ready in a year or two. IIM Bodh Gaya is currently functioning from its temporary campus at Magadh University. Recently it was shifted to a new academic block which is in the vicinity of the permanent campus construction site. The campus was due to be completed by 2022 but the pandemic caused the delay.
Getting educational loans for admission at an IIM is fairly easy due to their high credibility. You should present the required documents like a copy of your admission offer letter along with the receipt of the amount paid by you as the offer acceptance fee to the bank and they will start your loan process. Also, this amount will be reimbursed by the bank if you want it to be included in your loan amount.
As far as co-browser is concerned, it’s completely unnecessary as you don’t need to have your family member as your co-browser. Also there isn’t need of any collateral as well and your family’s income has no relation with the loan whatsoever.
The best part of getting an education loan for joining any IIM is that you don’t have to contact the banks. They themselves will contact you as they know their investment will be worth the return. The entire procedure is unexpectedly smooth. Just visit your nearest branch to get your documents verified and you can proceed with the rest of the process online.
All the 3 B Schools you mentioned have been established recently and are not very different from each other. My sister is an IIM Jammu pass out so I will mention whatever I know of that particular IIM only.
So I think IIM Jammu is probably a good choice.
