Which one is better MBA from IIM Shillong or IIT Delhi and why?
IITs are known for having smaller batch sizes. However, the finance placements at IIT Delhi may be subdued due to the institute's focus on operations and technology. It is worth noting that both IIT Delhi and IIM Shillong have competitive placements and have not yet grown their batches to the point where this becomes a concern. IIM Shillong has strong finance placements, including ICICI Bank, which is a well-regarded employer for MBA graduates.
It is difficult to compare the two institutes as they both have their own strengths and advantages. IIT Delhi has a long history and its DMS programs are well-established in the industry. If a student is considering IIT Delhi and has concerns about the college's focus on investment banking, it is important to note that this career path is not heavily dependent on starting placements and individuals can be self-reliant in building their careers. IIT Delhi is likely to continue growing and expanding in the future, and IIM Shillong is well-positioned among the newer IIMs in RRRTUCS. It will also continue to build its research and faculty strength, particularly after it gets a new campus.
Location is a factor to consider when choosing between the two institutes. IIT Delhi is located in urban New Delhi, which may be an advantage for some students. However, it is worth noting that the lack of investment in MBA programs at IITs, including Delhi, could become a problem in the long term as the field requires significant expenses in faculty, coursework, and programs to remain competitive. Currently, IIT Delhi is ahead of the newer IIMs, particularly if a student is interested in a consulting placement straight out of school.

One of my friends is an alumnus of IIT Delhi and he has often told me about its advantages of doing an MBA. When compared with IIM Shillong for the MBA program IIT Delhi takes the lead due to the following reasons:
Placements:
- IIM Shillong offers great placement opportunities for Finance. ICICI Bank has recruited students from the institute and provided a great career for MBA graduates.
- However, IIT Delhi and IIM Shillong both offer competitive placement opportunities for the students.
- Small batch size and location advantage works in the favor of IIT Delhi and has marginally better roles and a high average and median salary for the batch of 2020.
- If you are interested in Investment Banking then it is important to note that any institute has nothing to do with the placement package. You can easily become self-reliant to start a career.
