Which is better, IMI New Delhi or IIM Udaipur?
Without any second thoughts, I will say IMI New Delhi is better than IIM Udaipur. It has some amazing features that are lacking on the part of IIM Udaipur which is a relatively new IIM. It is yet to enter the race of elite B Schools.
Now, let’s discuss some points that make IMI Delhi The One for you
- IMI Delhi is ranked among one of the top 20 B schools in the country
- Its central location is its USP and offers various options to explore in the city
- The student's committee is always conducting social events and there is a buzz of activities throughout the year
- The faculty body comprises learner professors and Ph.D. holders who adopt excellent pedagogy to deliver the curriculum.
- The case study conducted within the classrooms gives the students an insight into the industry and helps them apply theoretical knowledge practically.
- Other engaging activities and bodies include clubs, committees, and various student-driven societies.
Your time spent at IMI will be something you will carry in your heart for the rest of your life.
Should I pursue my MBA in Canada from a mediocre university (like McMaster or UBC), or should I get into a new IIM (Shillong, Udaipur, etc.) in India if I ultimately want to settle down in Canada?
If you have already decided to settle abroad, investing your time and money in the new IIMs is useless. You should start looking for the top B Schools in your preferred country. Moreover, the IIMs, even the older ones, have a non-existent international scope.
So why invest so much money in something that will not improve your chances of settling abroad? To make it easier I have listed a few Canadian Business Schools that are the most preferred ones.
- University of Toronto
- University of Western Ontario
- York University
- University of British Columbia
- McMaster University
It’s amazing that you have been shortlisted for 2 of these amazing universities. I suggest you go for them instead of IIMs.

Other factors that are taken into consideration are diversity, gender, and caste. Basically, a high CAT score guarantees admission to IIM Udaipur.

How is IIM Udaipur for FPM (Operations)?
IIM Udaipur is well known for its enriching research culture and even gives an edge to top B Schools like IIM Calcutta and Ahmedabad in this aspect. It has made many research contributions and therefore has made its position in top ranks.
Operations Management
IIM Udaipur provides all the necessary resources to provide education in this domain.
- The professors are very passionate about promoting research and encourage the students for the same.
- The faculty focuses research on both Analytical modeling and Empirical modeling broadening career options for PhD students.
- Apart from this, the candidate is also allowed to conduct research on collaboration of Operations with other areas, say Economics, Marketing, Finance etc.
- Great emphasis is placed on top category journals both for study/reference purposes and for publications.
Career prospects:
The career prospects of a PhD candidate depends on his/her publications. They can also look for jobs in consulting also.
With 84% in 10th, 79% in 12th, a 7.89 CGPA and 3 yrs of work experience, am I eligible for the IIM Shillong and IIM Udaipur? I am a GEM.
You are eligible for both IIMs. Your academics, on the other hand, are mediocre, which can work against you.
IIM Udaipur will contact you solely on the basis of your CAT score. IIM Shillong, on the other hand, may or may not. IIM-S has stringent admission requirements.
My only piece of advice is to ignore everything else and concentrate on getting a high CAT percentile, preferably above 99.5, and you'll almost certainly get into one of the IIMs.
With a balanced sectional and good percentile in CAT, you should get calls from both these institutes. Also, prepare well for the interview. The interview part of admission is the most difficult, so try to be confident as much as you can.
If you are confident that you will get a great percentile in CAT, you can also apply for FMS.
Which institute be selected for admission IIFT Delhi campus, IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur, IIM Ranchi, MDI international Management?
If you are looking just for a brand name and high ROI, then your options are
- IIM Udaipur
- IIM Trichy
- IIM Ranchi
If you are looking for legacy, established alumni, and faculty with decades of experience within the same institute, your options are
- IIFT Delhi campus
- MDI
Now let me further elaborate on the last 2 colleges.
IIFT: This institute is a good option for people who wish to get into International business. I can any day prefer IIFT over the new IIMs.
MDI: MDI specializes in Marketing so anyone interested in this sector can go for MDI.
So it eventually depends on you and the specialization you want.
Which new IIM amongst Ranchi(R), Trichy(T) and Udaipur(U) is the best?
Without a second thought, I will say IIM Trichy is the best among these IIMs. To elaborate on my opinion, let’s compare the 3 IIMs on the bases of the following factors
Location: Both Udaipur and Ranchi face a considerable location advantage because of which they have been suffering. Trichy on the other hand enjoys a location advantage owing to its close proximity to Bangalore and Chennai. It lies in the belt of industries.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of IIM Ranchi is also one of its drawbacks. The classrooms are boring with no case discussion at all. The living conditions here are also scary. IIM Trichy and Udaipur both have excellent infrastructural faculties. IIM Trichy has its own campus which differentiates it from other baby IIMs.
Faculty: The faculty at IIM Ranchi is substandard with very less caliber. They don’t let students question or discuss their teachings. The faculty at Udaipur is better than Ranchi yet, they have started leaving gradually for better IIMs. IIM Trichy on the other hand boasts of a well-learned and experienced faculty.
Placements: The placement scenarios at Ranchi and Udaipur are both very average. While Ranchi complains of inflation, Udaipur only faces serious problems of low package offers. Whereas the placement figures at IIM Trichy are excellent owing to its connectivity.
So the final order is - IIM Trichy>IIM Udaipur>IIM Ranchi
Why are IIM Ranchi and Raipur underrated compared to IIM Udaipur even after better placement records?
I think the single most important reason why IIM Raipur and Ranchi are considered below IIM Udaipur is the lack of proper marketing. IIM Udaipur has managed to make its mark through enough marketing and promoting research culture. The IIMRs is also flawed in the sense that they are located in extremely poor economic states. This flaw overshadows all their features and the fact that they have better placement scenarios than IIM Udaipur.
Every IIM has set a certain goal and is gradually climbing the ladder to reach its level of excellence. The same is the case with IIMRs. In just a few years these two will be among the best IIMs in India.
Is joining new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur) worth it? How will be the career growth after an MBA from new ones?
The career growth offered by the new IIMs is difficult to analyze as they haven’t been established for long. One cannot infer their worth easily as its alumni are yet to establish themselves in the corporate world. It will take a few more years to determine the growth of CEO alums career-wise.
If you are concerned about the general job prospects, try going through the placement reports of these IIMs. You will get a general idea of the packages and roles offered.
To know if the new IIMs are worth going for, you need to check what you are expecting from these B Schools. If you are looking for basic learning and a small push to kickstart your career, the new IIMs will benefit you. But if you are on the lookout for high ROI, the new IIMs may or may not satisfy your expectations.
