Which is best between IIFT Delhi or IIM Shillong, or DMS, IIT Delhi in terms of brand value?
Posted On - Nov 10, 2020I think IIT Delhi is one of the institutions to go for Engineering, technology, and management studies as compared to IIFT Delhi IIM Shillong or DMS in terms of brand value.
- IITs hold a better brand value in terms of their academic standards, research opportunities, faculties members, alumni network, and more.
- The placement records for IIT are also excellent with an overall 87% being offered placement opportunities.
- Students have managed to crack the international package of INR 2 CPA and a domestic package of INR 1 CPA.
- Some of the top recruiters for IIT Delhi are India, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, Goldman Sachs, Bajaj Auto, etc.
DMS and IIM Shillong are nowhere near the level of IIFT, Delhi. A more accurate comparison for IIFT would be with MDI, SP Jain, or IMT.
IIM Shillong will be more valuable only to those who are oblivious to the IIM label. The college's remote location and unusual selection criteria are significant impediments to its growth. DMS, on the other hand, has an advantage due to the fees, but it is still not in the same league. A more level playing field would be with SJMSOM and IIT Bombay.
So, if you want the IIM tag, go with IIM Shillong, but keep in mind that with new IIMs opening every year, that tag is becoming diluted, and go with DMS only if fees are a major criterion. Just in terms of brand value, IIFT is far superior to either of them, with its 50-year heritage, strong alumni, central location, and strong differentiation.
IIFT Delhi has been ranked 26 among top MBA colleges by NIRF 2020 Rankings. There are more than 65 faculty members across 8 departments. Admissions here are based on the entrance exam followed by a GD and a PI.
