These packages may seem lower than those offered at older IIMs but with excellent work, you can climb the ladder gradually.
Curriculum: The pedagogy is as good as any other top B School. You can gain a lot of knowledge just by attending the lectures conducted by the learned faculty alone.
Some points that might be important to consider against your decision to join IIM Ranchi are
However, I don’t think these points can overshadow the plethora of opportunities IIM Ranchi offers.
Yes, you can easily choose IIM Ranchi or Trichy based on their placement statistics because the placement scenarios at both IIMs seem promising despite the lack of infrastructure and campus facilities. In many cases, Trichy and Ranchi have exchanged leads outside the ABC and LIK worlds. All can be overcome if you are taught by the best professors.
Elaborating further, IIM Trichy seems better than Ranchi or Rohtak to me. The reason being the superior teaching methods and its favorable location both for students as well as recruiters. Apart from Trichy, other IIMs are also doing fairly well compared to non-CAT MBA institutes. These are doing well with the help of sponsor IIMs which arrange faculty and placements. These in turn select their own Directors and invest in the infrastructure required in another 3–4 years as Trichy and Ranch have already done.
Since you are curious about finance only, I will try to answer your question based on the Finance domain only. To elaborate let’s consider the following merits and demerits
Merits
Demerits:
All in all I think IIM Ranchi is a decent choice for Finance and in the years to come will have improved a lot.
Yes, the IPM program of IIM Rohtak is actually worth it because it’s an IIM after all. Both Rohtak and Indore excel at their IPM programs. If you are not willing to sit for the CAT again and are not confident that you will get in despite trying this is the best option for you. But if you want to explore more opportunities and are confident of getting a better CAT percentile next year this program may not be for you.

All these make the HR program a considerably decent option.
If you do not have work experience, you may want to reconsider applying to IIM Ranchi as there are very few freshers in the batch. Additionally, the cutoffs for admissions at the institute are unpredictable and can vary widely. Some applicants with very high percentile scores have been rejected, while others with lower scores have been accepted.
It is also worth noting that even applicants with strong work experience and percentile scores may not always be successful in receiving a call or being shortlisted. It is difficult to predict with certainty whether or not you will be accepted to the PGDHRM program.
Let’s discuss some major factors that make IIM Ranchi’s PGDM program a good one.
Hostel: IIM Ranchi has its hostel located in a very serene area. It provides single occupancy rooms to all its students with facilities like a geyser, laundry, library, and cafeteria.
Placements: The placement opportunities at IIM Ranchi are incredibly good. It boasts of 100% placement percentage. I will let the statistics do the talking
