All three colleges are on top and choosing one among three is not easy. But I can give you some ideas about them as I have friends studying at these institutes. TISS is one of the most reputed colleges for HRM courses in the country. The top two institutes for HR programs are XLRI and 2nd is TISS. XLRI holds first place due to its history and huge batch size and placements.
NITIE and SOM are the top two colleges in India for operations and supply chain profiles with NITIE being the clear number 1.
So my preference order will be the following.
TISS (HR) > NITIE (Operations & SCM) > SJMSOM (Finance & others)
So, choose wisely based on your preferred domain. And in case you are interested in Marketing, both NITIE & SJMSOM are equally good.
I think I can give you some insight regarding NITIE and SJMSOM since I have friends from both institutes. Both are nearly identical, however, SJMSOM may be a better choice because NITIE promotes itself as an Operations majors institution, whereas SJMSOM promises to cover all fields. As a result, you may have more prospects in the finance industry at SJMSOM than at NITIE.
The table below has a brief comparison of the two institutes.
Parameters | NITIE | SJMSOM |
Course fee | 13 lakhs (approx) | 9 lakhs |
Placement rate | 100% | 100% |
Average salary package | 19 lakhs | 20 lakhs |
Highest salary package | 46 lakhs | 34 lakhs |
So, going by the above-mentioned factors, I will say SJMSOM may be a better alternative for Finance.
When considering which business school to attend, it can be helpful to think about the impact that the institute will have on your resume. On the one hand, SJMSOM is an older institute that is well-known for its engineering program at IIT. While it may have a strong reputation in certain fields, it may not be as well-known for its MBA program. On the other hand, the newer IIMs, including IIM Ranchi, have not yet fully established their reputations in the business world. While they may have the prestige of being part of the IIM network, they may not yet have the same level of recognition as older institutes.
Ultimately, the value of an MBA degree will depend on what you make of it and the effort you put into your studies and career development. It is important to carefully consider both the reputation and the resources of the business school you choose in order to make the most of your MBA experience.
You should choose IIM Kozhikode. SJMSOM is a good B-School and maintained a decent record over the last few years. However, choosing IIM Kozhikode will offer you the brand value advantages of IIM and long-term returns.
IIM Kozhikode has a better faculty base for management. You will also get good opportunities to attend lectures by some of the famous visiting faculty.
IIM Kozhikode placements are pretty good as well. As per the 2022 placement highlights, the median CTC offered to the students is around INR 26.5 LPA.
Both SJMSOM and IIM Indore are distinguished B-Schools in this league. IIM is a brand name on its own and offers certain perks that make it a better choice.
Hopefully, this would be helpful for you in making the right choice.
Definitely, both the B-Schools are great but IIMK should be your first choice. Unless we are discussing Operation then I would advise you to opt for SJMSOM.
You will have trouble with placements due to your average academics as most of your peers will have better academic records. You will always get opportunities to make your profile better. You can improve your profile by winning competitions, holding significant PORs, and getting an excellent grade in your MBA programme.
Even if you don’t get your desired placement, you can excel in the job and leverage your performance in the corporate world along with the IIM alumni network on your side. That way you will be able to fetch better opportunities a few years later.
Here are the recent placement highlights for the institutes.
Parameters | IIM Kozhikode | SJMSOM |
Average CTC | 22.5 LPA | 21 LPA |
Highest CTC | 46 LPA | 32 LPA |
Major recruiters | Asian Paints, Amazon, Brain & Co. | JCB, Infosys, Flipkart |
IIM Kozhikode definitely offers certain advantages which makes it a superior choice.
My cousin is an alumnus of NITIE and has spent two years in the institute as a student. His opinion is based on professional experience and may not be true for summer and final placements at SJMSOM and XLRI.
A counter-argument can turn up claiming that the companies do not look at the scores. It is up to the students concerned to follow this notion.
IIT Bombay has a brand name for engineering, but NITIE is a prominent brand name for management engineers. NITIE is anytime better than IIT Bombay. Following are the reasons for the same:
Particulars | NITIE (PGDIM) | NITIE (PGDISEM) | IIT Bombay (MBA) |
Fee | INR 11.33 Lakhs | INR 11.33 Lakhs | INR 13.64 Lakhs |
Average CTC | INR 20.84 LPA | INR 16.28 LPA | INR 20 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 44 LPA | INR 44 LPA | INR 27 LPA |
Overall, as per the above analysis, NITIE Mumbai is a better choice. Even the return on investment is higher than IIT Bombay.
After doing some research on the internet, I would say that NITIE, SJMSOM, and IIM-I have their own pros and cons.
The below table can provide you with the basic information about them.
Category | NITIE | SJMSOM | IIM Indore |
Recruiters | Dabur, ITC, Johnson & Johnson, Marico, etc. | Amazon, Deloitte, Cadbury, Axis Bank, etc. | Abbott, Flipkart, Network18, Accenture, etc. |
Average CTC | INR 20.88 LPA | INR 21.96 LPA | INR 23.6 LPA |
Lowest CTC | INR 20.7 LPA | INR 22.00 LPA | INR 6.00 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 58.2 LPA | INR 32.80 LPA | INR 41.5 LPA |
Therefore, choosing NITIE, SJMSOM or IIM Indore depends on you and in which field you want to make your career. It will be completely your decision, so play along your strengths.
IIM Shillong is the better college among these. The institute puts emphasis on hands-on learning. You will learn how to handle real-time issues. The coursework and teaching go well beyond classroom learning. IIM Shillong has made great strides in recent years in terms of facilities and infrastructure. It has an impressive placement record. IIM Shillong placements in 2022 witnessed the highest CTC of INR 55.22 LPA. This year the major recruiters were Deloitte, DE Shaw, TATA Steel, etc.
