IIT Roorkee is a better option for an MBA. It is not just the IIM tag that one should consider while choosing a business school. There are various factors like the establishment year of an institute, course fee, location, placement scenario, faculty, infrastructure, alumni network, etc. that must be considered during the selection. 

IIT Roorkee is a well-established institution with a long history of excellence. Its Department of Management Studies (DoMS) has been functioning since 1998. On the other hand, IIM Amritsar is one of the newer IIMs in India, having been established in 2015. 

Here are the MBA placement statistics of both DoMS (IIT Roorkee) and IIM Amritsar for 2023:

IIT Roorkee offers good placements, but more than that, it provides a rich academic environment to its students. The students of DoMS don’t just interact with each other, but also with the students of other departments like engineering. This enhances their understanding of things, and helps in the exchange of diverse perspectives. 

IIT Roorkee is much older to IIM Amritsar, which is why it offers a rich alumni network and a strong brand name. 

Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Amritsar for an MBA.
