Is it advisable to go for a new IIM like IIM Jammu and do MBA? It is being mentored by IIM Lucknow so will placement be also mentored by them?

IIM Lucknow mentors IIM Jammu with respect to faculty, curriculum and pedagogy. IIM Jammu and IIM Lucknow have almost the same teachers, barring a few. Moreover, the pedagogy and curriculum of both these colleges is the same. But IIM Lucknow does not extend its mentorship in case of IIM Jammu placements.

The crowd of new IIMs is really good. The students from IIM Jammu are tough opponents for IIM A B C students in various competitions. IIM Jammu has a student exchange program that offers meritorious students to complete a trimester at a European university. The placements of IIM Jammu are equal to other baby IIMs. 

IIM Jammu carries the prestigious ‘IIM’ tag which has a high value in the industry. I would recommend you join IIM Jammu for your MBA.

You should consider your other options as well. IIM Jammu is a baby IIM and it still hasn’t made its way into the top B-School list. Although it has improved over the years. IIM Jammu placements are similar to that of the baby IIMs. In 2022, the average and highest CTC offered were INR 13.53 LPA, and INR 32 LPA, respectively. 

In terms of return on investment, IIM Jammu is a good option. Due to the small batch size, the number of companies taking part in the campus placements is more than the number of students participating. So, students get a fair chance at getting good placements.

One of my friends is studying at IIM Jammu. According to him, it is one of the youngest IIMs, though it has not made it into the big leagues, it is still growing every day. Let me share some facts about it. This will give you a clear idea.

  • It is being mentored by IIM Lucknow, it tries to reach their level of education, thus keeping students busy with several activities that will help them grow intellectually and academically.
  • You will also have committees, clubs, intra and inter-college festivals, competitions, etc. to improve holistic development.
  • They have the same faculty from IIM Lucknow except for one or two subjects. 
  • The pedagogy and curriculum are exactly the same as IIM Lucknow.
  • The student crowd is very enthusiastic and competitive. 
  • In terms of the ROI, IIM Jammu is a good option. 
  • The batch size is small and the number of companies visiting the campus is more thus balancing it out.
  • You cannot expect the placements to be the same as the top IIMs. But they are good, being a new institute.
  • IIM Jammu is the only IIM with a foreign immersion program.
Categories IIM Jammu
Course Fee 14.82 lakh
Placement Percentage 80%
Highest CTC 24 LPA
Average CTC 10 LPA
Recruiting Companies Deloitte, HCL, TATA Power, Tech Mahindra, etc.

Lastly, it can be assured that the IIM tag will forever be with you. Though mentored by IIM Lucknow the placements won't be at that level, but they won't be disappointing either. If you work hard, securing a job will not be a problem.
