Are vehicles allowed in IIM Rohtak and Indore for IPM students?
IIM Rohtak is a green campus that prioritises environmental safety, and students are not permitted to use vehicles on campus.
During COVID times, IIM Indore restricted the ability of IPM students to commute or even bring vehicles to the campus. Cycles may be permitted depending on the college, but they are currently uncommon at IIM Rohtak.
Do the students who get in from IPM in IIM ROHTAK and those who got in from CAT get to interview in front of the same companies?
There is only one batch as of now who are currently in 2nd year. Considering the situation of COVID-19, students might not receive placements for at least 4 years. You cannot necessarily point out companies and anticipate their preference towards PGPs.
Even if the recruitment takes place, the process will be as follows:
- IPM students only get placed after their MBA, following the PGPs. The same companies will recruit you whether you have entered through CAT or IPM. Only your academic credentials will be taken into consideration.
- You will have average to best placement, given your academic backdrop in both graduation and PGP, as opposed to the students of CAT.
- Students who enter via CAT usually get serious after 2 years of their studies. There are students who indeed pursue their graduation from several institutes that are not highly spoken about and choose to study Engineering or Commerce.
- In contrast, IPM carries a very rounded curriculum vitae, supporting their thoughts to reach beyond accounting or economics and similarly helping them construct an accurate amount of mindset in every individual field.
If you have pursued BBA from IIMR, then you will remain several steps higher than someone who studied in a college not greatly renowned. There are very few chances that an IPM student would be placed lower than PGP. It might be a little less, but this is seldom seen.

Which one should I choose: IIM Rohtak or IIM Raipur?
All the new IIMs are currently in a similar position with one giving an edge to another in some or the other way. So you can join any. But if I was to choose one of the two i.eIIM Rohtak and IIM Raipur, I would have chosen IIM Rohtak. Some points that favor my choice are
- The major reason why many choose Rohtak is because of the locational advantage it offers. Owing to regional industry coordination and NCR location it's better than other new IIMs
- Among the new IIMs, it is the oldest. So the batch size is bigger and so is the alumni network.
- Almost all the new IIMs function from a temporary campus and don’t have their own new campus. Meanwhile, IIM Rohtak is functioning from the MDU campus which is better than most campuses and has world-class facilities.
- The institute specializes in Marketing and is a good choice for Marketing enthusiasts. Many good firms offer marketing roles.
Most of the people who are in a dilemma of choosing between these two IIMs already have offers from these. If you ask the alumni of both institutes which one is better, in 99% of cases they will claim that their institute is better. So it’s better to do individual research and make a choice based on your own inclinations and prospects.
Which to choose between NITIE, IIM Kashipur, Rohtak & Raipur?
Choose wisely by taking all B school reports with a level of caution. Instead of quitting your job and enrolling in a school where you might get a placement that is below average, opt for an Executive MBA if you are currently employed and secure. In this situation, you should choose NITIE because of its location in Mumbai, which is crucial for attracting top employers for placements.
For at least the next ten years, stay away from all new IIMs. It is not recommended at all to enroll in business schools that are less than 15 years old after leaving a secure job because they take at least 15-20 years to establish themselves. Only when your salary is between 3 and 4 LPAs should you think about enrolling in a new or infant IIM. Alternatively, you could try switching to a better organization that will likely pay you more money.
Which one is better, SIBM Pune or the new IIMs like Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Kashipur, Udaipur, and Trichy?
All of the institutes you mentioned are on the same level. Ranchi and Trichy have a slight advantage. Furthermore, having an IIM brand never hurts. It all depends on personal preference; you may prefer SIBM Pune, which is also a very good institute, but some candidates leave MDI Gurgaon and NITIE for the newer IIMs.
Furthermore, a degree from a government institute is far superior to a degree from a private institute. The smaller batch size of new IIMs also facilitates placements. Examine each institute's faculty details, placement details, batch size, infrastructure, and so on, and make an informed decision.
How were your 2 years at IIM Rohtak?
Here's what one of IIM Rohtak's students has to say about his two years there.
It all began with Aarambh. Then it just kept going. Classroom exercises, club and committee meetings, management summits, event planning activities, case discussions, last night studies, and sports activities are all part of the program. With so much going on, it's difficult to keep track of the tide.
There were both highs and lows. Those two years were a roller coaster ride of laughs, tears, sweat beads, hugs, and other emotions. It's amazing how a group of (almost) like-minded people transformed from friends to family.
Everyone played a role. Everyone contributed significantly to the batch's ecosystem in some way. Most importantly, everyone made life bearable. Those 20 months instilled in him a sense of responsibility for his job, family, and society as a whole. There were complications. There were disappointments. The journey was not easy. But it was a worthwhile journey, one that changed him for the better.
