Is it worth joining IIM Sambalpur? I have converted IMT Ghaziabad and got a call from IIM Sambalpur. Would it be better than IMTG and IMI?

Vikrant Kunwar

You should choose IMT Ghaziabad, it offers better placements. Being an older institute, it has a widespread alumni network. Big MNCs such as Google, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, etc. take part in the IMT Ghaziabad placement drive. In 2022, the average and highest CTC offered to the students were INR 15.28 LPA and INR 62 LPA, respectively. IMT also offers better facilities and infrastructure.

I have converted to IIM Kashipur but already paid 1 term fee at IIM Sambalpur (no refund). What should I do?

When considering whether or not to pay around 170K for the first term at IIM Sambalpur, it is important to consider the potential financial loss and weigh it against the potential benefits.

In terms of placements, it is true that IIM Kashipur may have an upper edge, however, it is important to note that this difference will likely only make a significant impact on the top 10% of the batch. For the majority of students, the placements at both IIM Sambalpur and IIM Kashipur will likely be similar. Additionally, when considering future entitlements, it is important to remember that both IIM Kashipur and IIM Sambalpur are relatively new institutes, so the location may not hold as much value in the long term as building a strong personal profile.

It is ultimately up to you to decide whether or not you are willing to potentially lose the money, and if so, to not stress about it too much. On the other hand, if you are not willing to potentially lose the money, it is also important not to regret the decision in the long run.

Go for it if you can afford to lose the money. If not, don't be disappointed. Just consider placements for the evaluation, as the location and life are both beautiful. Placements at IIM Kashipur have an obvious advantage, but only for the top 10% of the batch will it make a significant difference. Otherwise, you'll do well at both locations.

Furthermore, if you're looking for future entitlement, it makes little difference. IIM Kashipur is the newest, and IIM Sambalpur is the youngest. If you build a strong profile for yourself, the location between these two IIMs will not hold much value in the future. As a result, if you can afford to lose the money, do so without hesitation. If you can't afford to lose that money, forget it and you will have no regrets.

How is IIM Sambalpur?

yoIIM Sambalpur is one of the most underrated IIMs situated in a serene peaceful area. Unlike other IIMs, the ambiance here is calm and not stressful. The hostels are surrounded by hills and the lush green scene is breathtaking and makes your hostel life simply beautiful. Let’s discuss the major features of IIM Sambalpur

Hostel: The accommodation facilities are pretty good at Sambalpur University Hostel. Students are provided with double occupancy rooms and the mess is controlled by them. Other amenities are a pool, table tennis, and carrom to spend your leisure time.
Peer-learning: IIM Sambalpur welcomes some elite students that are extremely talented from all over India. To propose a better peer learning experience, common rooms and separate study rooms are provided.
Clubs and Committees: Various student-driven clubs and committees keep the rigor alive at the campus. Some of them cater to domains like Marketing, Finance, and Operations and organize related events and conferences. The E-Cell actively focuses on encouraging entrepreneurship culture among the students.
Faculty: The faculty base is like any other IIM, extremely learned and experienced. They are a mix of visiting faculty and internal faculty. The visiting faculty comes from the top B Schools like IIM I, IIM A, IIM B, MDI, etc.
Curriculum: The curriculum at IIM Sambalpur aims at promoting a deep understanding of subjects. The case study pedagogy helps the students to apply the learned concepts in their real-life situations.

So IIM Sambalpur is worth joining for your personal as well as professional development.

How is IIM Sambalpur? Is it worth joining IIM sambalpur or should I go for BIM Trichy? What are the pros and cons?

V K Menon

24 Jan 23

IIM Sambalpur and BIM Trichy, both these institutes should be approached only when all doors are closed and you are left with zero options. Both colleges have poor placement scenarios and almost no brand name. The fees you will pay are not worth risking your 2 years for. If you are confident that you can get a better percentile next year please sit for CAT again and go for a better college. But if you are not confident about the same, and only have these two options, go for BIM Trichy. The reasons I have chosen BIM Trichy over IIM Sambalpur are -

Older than IIM Sambalpur and thus has a stronger alumni base
Better relations with the industry

I know only 2 trivial points are not enough to justify a college worth. What you can further do is talk to the current students or alumni of both colleges. Relying on placement reports is not enough so interacting with its students will give you a clearer picture maybe.

Are the six newest IIMs a good option? (i.e., IIM Nagpur, Vizag, Amritsar, Sirmaur, Bodhgaya, Sambalpur)

Ashmita Mukharjee

It depends on your profile. If you are a general category student with good academic records - more than 85 percent throughout 10th, 12th, and graduation, then old IIMs will be better.

If you aren’t getting the old IIMs, you can consider new IIMs like IIM Nagpur, Sambalpur, Vizag, Amritsar, Sirmaur, and Bodhgaya. Being part of any recently established institute is a different experience altogether. You will get to set the culture on campus which your juniors will inherit. These baby IIMs have decent placements. You will get placement opportunities through campus drive if you have a good academic record. Here are the average CTC statistics for these IIMs.

Institute	Average CTC
IIM Nagpur	INR 15.21 LPA
IIM Vizag	INR 15.06 LPA
IIM Amritsar	INR 14.63 LPA
IIM Sirmaur	INR 12.74 LPA
IIM Bodhgaya	INR 12.36 LPA
IIM Sambalpur	INR 12.64 LPA

If you are willing to work hard and want to take advantage of opportunities that come with newly established institutes, then you should join these new IIMs.

Is it worth to do Post graduation from IIM Sambalpur?

Ashutosh Mohapatra

24 Jan 23

Whether Post Graduation from IIM Sambalpur is worth it or not depends solely on what you want from your MBA and your career interests.

For instance, if you are already prospering in your current workplace, pursuing MBA is not worth the time and fees you will spend. The MBA degree will add no value to your profile so it’s better for you to keep working. I have seen many people forgoing offers from IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, and XLRI mainly because they are certain the MBA degree will add no value to their career and is just a waste of time and money.

While choosing any B School be it IIM Sambalpur or any other B School, you need to check if an MBA degree will help you escalate your career or if you will just end up with a hefty loan to repay and no career upgrade.

Coming to IIM Sambalpur specifically, I don’t think a person who is prospering at his current job and wants to do MBA just for the sake of it will want to join IIM Sambalpur. The MBA degree from that institute specifically adds no value at all to his profile. In other cases, you can think of joining IIM Sambalpur.

Which program is better, PGP HRM at IIM Indore or PGPM at IIM Sambalpur?

Sidhharth Jain

12 Jan 23

A specific program at one IIM cannot be compared to a general program at another IIM.

In any case, you shouldn't think about enrolling in a course at IIM Sambalpur. It is too recent and has no prior performance. Additionally, given its location, it won't even draw in top faculty. Instead of IIM Sambalpur, you would be much better off attending some high-quality non-IIM colleges.

The best institute for HR professionals is currently XLRI, followed by TISS, Mumbai. Considering that IIMI is one of the top IIMs and has a brand-new HR program, your learning and employment prospects are both promising. However, make sure you enjoy HR. It is practically impossible to later switch out of HR once you are in it.

Which should I select among IIM Bodhgaya, IIM Sirmaur, and IIM Sambalpur? I have an experience of 4 years in power distribution operation as an electrical engineer, but I left the job last year.

After scrutinizing the list of colleges you mentioned, I think the most viable option is IIM Bodh Gaya. It is the most suitable among the 3 because it has been growing at a spectacular rate. The 2 major reasons for its rapid growth are

Location: IIM Bodh Gaya enjoys a location advantage due to being situated at a Buddhist tourist spot. The historic pilgrimage site is well connected with an airport just 7 km away. Six connectivity brings in better and more faculty and also top companies for recruitment that don’t visit Sirmaur and Sambalpur due to poor connectivity.
Mentorship: This is another factor that sets IIM Bodh Gaya apart from other baby items. Once under the mentorship of the top IIM, IIM Calcutta, IIM Bodh Gaya still has a similar pedagogy and curriculum.

Both these factors differentiate Bodh Gaya from Sambalpur and Sirmaur extremely well.
