Lives in New Delhi

Doing an MBA has to be a long-term decision. While selecting your college, various parameters are considered to evaluate the institute's worth and credibility. Some of these are college faculty, industry exposure, placements, and tags. However, you have to think about long-term goals too. Doing an MBA is necessarily like investing a lot and expecting a great return in the long term if not right away.

As far as the comparison between IMI and IIM-Amritsar is considered, there aren’t many distinguishing features. Both are tier-2 b-schools with individual strengths and weaknesses. However, a distinguishing feature of IMI or IMT that sets them apart from new IIMs is their extensive alumni base. In the corporate world, connections matter a lot, and positions of authority can greatly influence your progress in your career. So in this aspect, IMI scores better than IIM.a
