When deciding on an MBA program, it's important to consider your interests and career goals. If you have an inclination towards rural management, then IRMA would be an excellent choice for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a general MBA degree and specific profiles post-MBA, then TAPMI may be the better option.

If rural management is your area of interest, then IRMA should be at the top of your list. IRMA has a strong reputation for its rural management program and provides excellent opportunities for students interested in the field. On the other hand, if you're looking for a broader MBA degree and want to explore different profiles, then TAPMI may be a better fit.

When it comes to post-MBA profiles, TAPMI provides a variety of specializations to choose from, including finance, marketing, human resources, and operations. This means that you can choose a specialization that aligns with your interests and career goals. Additionally, TAPMI has a strong reputation in the industry and attracts many top recruiters, which can enhance your job opportunities post-MBA.

Ultimately, the decision between IRMA and TAPMI will depend on your individual interests and career aspirations. Make sure to research each program thoroughly and weigh the pros and cons of each before making a final decision.

Firdausi Faruqui

31 Jul 21MBA from IIM Bangalore (2018)

I have friends from IRMA and the new IIMs. Here are some factors about the institutes that I learned through them. It can be helpful in deciding which institute is better for you.

  • IRMA is more focused on development positions, such as rural and agribusiness marketing. Even the financial firms that visit the campus offer Non-financial roles.

So, if you wish to work as a business consultant for real estate firms or as an investment banker, you should probably avoid IRMA and go do general management from any new IIM that will provide you with a bigger responsibility in the future.

  • IRMA is a specialty school. It's fantastic if you enjoy the unique "Rural" part and In front of IRMA, new IIMs don't stand a chance.

To summarise, this isn't even worth getting mixed up about. The fact that you're confused indicates that you are not sure about Rural. So, do not attend IRMA if You're still not sure. Join a general PGDM program at IIM Rohtak, for instance. Colleges of general management give you a year to work on a specialization. This option will be better for you if you are not sure about your niche.

For general management, IIM Sambalpur is better. Although it is a new IIM, it offers better visibility and networking opportunities to students. The IIM brand name is well-recognized in the industry. IIM Sambalpur placements have been good over the last few years. During 2022 placement drive, the average and highest CTC offered to the students were INR 41 LPA and INR 12.34 LPA. Deloitte India, SBI Life, E&Y, ZS Associates, etc. are among the major recruiters that took part in the placement drive.

Choose IRMA over IIM Sambalpur, only if you are interested in rural management.

Which is the better option, IRMA or SCMHRD?

By Sahil Sachdevaon 16 Mar 23

Parag Upadhyay

16 Mar 23Studied at Institute of Rural Management, Anand

When choosing between different management programs, it is important to consider your interests and career aspirations. If you are interested in exploring the field of rural management, IRMA may be a great fit for you instead of SCMHRD. While IRMA does not offer a specific specialization, it does provide a range of electives that can help you develop skills and knowledge in areas that interest you.

One of the unique aspects of IRMA is its emphasis on rural management. The program is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities of managing organizations in rural areas. This includes exposure to issues such as agriculture, rural development, social entrepreneurship, and community development.

While IRMA does not offer a formal specialization in HR, the program does cover a wide range of topics related to human resource management. This includes courses on leadership, organizational behavior, and employee relations. Students can also choose electives in areas such as talent management, performance appraisal, and compensation.

Ultimately, the choice between different management programs will depend on your individual interests and goals. It is important to research and compare programs based on factors such as curriculum, faculty, industry connections, and career prospects. By choosing a program that aligns with your interests and provides the right skills and knowledge, you can set yourself up for a fulfilling and successful career.

While choosing between MICA, IRMA, and XIMB, it's important to keep in mind that these institutions are very different from each other. They have different missions, visions, and outcomes. While XIMB is a general management institute, MICA and IRMA are focused on their respective domains.

If you're someone who is primarily driven by CTC and ROI, then it's important to think twice before opting for these niche programs based on general parameters. You might end up in something that you might not enjoy.

IRMA is the pioneer of rural management, with the aim of bringing about a change in the rural sector of the country through professional management. As a participant in the program, you'll learn all the principles of general management, along with social and liberal arts subjects. One of the unique features of IRMA is their three internship segments, which provide a different perspective on rural realities and society through a different lens.

By choosing IRMA, you can expect to have a rewarding career afterwards. However, keep in mind that the program is geared towards those who have a genuine interest in rural management and development. It's important to do your research and self-reflection to see if this program is the right fit for you.

Akash Biswas

13 Mar 23Post Graduate Program from Institute of Rural Management, Anand (Graduated 2004)

All the institutes you mentioned are quite different from each other and have no similar goals, visions, or outcomes. XIMB is a General Management institute while MICA and IRMA focus solely on a specific domain.

The most common evaluating criteria of aspirants for a B School are its ROI and Placements. Choosing a specific niche program might limit your opportunities and choosing it mainly because of its general parameters like ROI and Parameters might prove wrong in the long run.

IRMA is well known for its specialization in rural management, and its primary goal is to bring about a change in the rural sector of the country through professional management. As a student, you will acquire knowledge of the principles of general management, and certain social and liberal arts subjects.

The main highlight of the institute is its three internship segments. Through this program, you will get to witness rural realities and society through a different lens, and pave your way to an excellent career.

IRMA seems to have it all - top faculty, great infrastructure, excellent campus, and extensive exposure. It is well known for its specialization in Rural Management and becomes the best choice when it comes to RM aspirants. Before I go on, let me clarify a much common misconception about the Rural Management and Development Sector. The assumptions that the pay in the Development sector is extremely low and IRMA provides no corporate exposure are outright false. 

I know a friend who gave up a scholarship at another B School for Rural Management at IRMA. He made this decision despite knowing it will be more hectic because of the 3 field components unlike 1 in the case of other B Schools. 

There is an additional social sector course like Rural Society and Polity for instance. The main purpose of these courses is to broaden your tour horizon as IRMA serves the majority of the Indian population living in villages, who have a different set of problems and require a different type of thinking to solve them.

IRMA has 2 camps - pro-market and pro-development that respect each other. Such harmony leads to a better understanding of both pros and cons, and students can initiate a response to an emerging economy.

This field required an emphatic and sensitive attitude with monetary benefits not being the primary goal. The earning capacity is not exactly poor and the placement figures reveal 100% opportunities. Additionally, IRMA’s Social Entrepreneurship Cell is a haven for future entrepreneurs.

IRMA boasts of a rich alumni culture because they take pride in being an IRMAn which was possible after multiple efforts and hard work. The alumni connection ensures constant motivation and advice shared based on real-life experiences.

Overall IRMA offers a roller coaster of experiences you won’t forget in your entire life.

Without much thought, I will always choose IIM Udaipur over Irma. This is a viable option even if you are interested in Rural Management. In fact IIM Udaipur will offer you much more. You can choose from a plethora of industry functions. Rather than restricting your preferences, IIM Udaipur will enable you to broaden your career interests.

One of my friends is an IRMA pass-out. After interacting with her I realized that the students or the B School in general have a very shortsighted approach. It was after this that I was certain of IIM Udaipur’s credibility.
