Which one should I choose, IIM Raipur or SIMSREE (Sydenham)? I am an average mechanical engineering graduate. I have offers from both of them. Which one should you suggest?

Question

Manjot Singh · Answer

If you choose IIM Raipur you can definitely grab the IIM tag. But in reality, SIMSREE is one of the oldest B Schools and thus has a better plethora of opportunities. Joining SIMSREE is a better choice because

It is one of the oldest colleges in India
It is located in Mumbai, the financial capital of India
100% placement record
Amazing ROI
Small-batch size
Decent faculty base

You can avail so many opportunities by joining SIMSREE but will only get an IIM tag if you join IIM Raipur. Moreover, you will be burdened with repaying the loan. IIM Raipur might also not have top firms visit the campus for placements due to its location.

So it’s better to join SIMSREE and focus on the technical aspect of an MBA than join IIM Raipur just for the brand name.
