IRMA and SIMSREE, established 4 years apart, are 2 desirable management institutes in tier-2 and tier-3 categories (depending on which B-School categorisation you see). IRMA is an autonomous institute known for its flagship programme, PGD in Rural Management (PGDRM). SIMSREE is a government management institute, and its flagship programme is the Master of Management Studies (MMS).
IIM Ranchi and IIM Raipur are two of the newer Indian Institutes of Management, and both were established in 2010. In this IIM Ranchi vs IIM Raipur comparison article, I will attempt to highlight the differences and similarities between these two premier institutes of the country. Earlier, I have compared two relatively new IIMs - IIM Shillong vs IIM Rohtak.
CAT, being a very unpredictable exam, can even get the better of very meritorious students on the D-DAY. People who had been aiming the IIMs and top 15 colleges and not able to cross that 95 percentile range are in turmoil. Zeroing down on one college requires exhaustive and extensive research on the available options and also careful weighing and holistic evaluation of the situation one is in. Typical tier-II colleges such as TAPMI, IRMA, IFMR, KJSIMSR come to the rescue for the aspirants for whom preparing another year is not on the cards.
IIM Rohtak and IIM Shillong are considered to be the next best options for an MBA after the tier-1 management institutes such as IIMs BLACKI, JBIMS, FMS, IIFT MDI & SPJIMR.
KJ Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research and FORE School of Management are two good tier-2 colleges in the country. Every year, aspirants aim for IIMs and other tier-1 colleges. However, due to the sheer number of people giving these exams, some are not able to make it into these dream B-Schools.
There are many articles comparing the tier-1 b-schools across the country. But very few articles comparing the tier-2 b-schools. So this article is going to provide you a detailed comparison between two well-known b-schools in India such as DoMS-IIT Chennai and DoMS-IIT Roorkee.
In this article, I will objectively compare three well-recognized institutes of the country based on various parameters as illustrated below.
As a CAT aspirant, it is imperative to prepare oneself for the decision of selecting the best fit institute. Not everyone is aiming the BLACKIS or XLRI. Sometimes even with a 99.5+ %le, people from little less financially stable backgrounds would opt for colleges with a better ROI rather than a better brand value. So certainly there is no generalized rule for selecting an institute. Pursuing an MBA is not only about the academic effort one needs to put in but also requires careful selection of options available since an investment of this magnitude is always risky.
