Which IIM is better, IIM Sambalpur or IIM Bodh Gaya?

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:

• IIM Bodh Gaya functioned once under the oldest IIM, IIM Calcutta, and therefore has a similar pedagogy and curriculum.
• It’s located at a tourist spot for Buddhists and Hindus and thus has good connectivity values. This in turn attracts better faculty and more companies for placements.
• The hostels are quite near to the academic block and provide single occupancy rooms. 
• The student-driven clubs and committees at IIM Bodh Gaya keep the rigor high on campus through various events and competitions.
• IIM Bodh Gaya has tie-ups with many global B Schools and its student exchange program allows eligible students to spend a trimester in the partner institution.
• The placements at IIM Bodh Gaya are very decent. The basic statistics are as follows 

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.
