Should you pick IPMX at IIM Lucknow (Noida Campus)?
This course suits managers who can take a year away from work and want a full MBA from an IIM.
Pick it if:
You want to stay close to the NCR job market: the campus is in Sector 62, Noida, a short drive from Delhi and Gurugram offices.
You want to see business outside India: every batch spends about three weeks at a partner school in Europe or East Asia.
You want to live on campus for the year: the fee covers a single room with a shared washroom and your meals.
Your employer will pay for you: IIM Lucknow welcomes sponsored students, but it keeps no seats aside for them.
Skip it if:
You want past placement results before you apply: IIM Lucknow does not publish IPMX pay or placement numbers, so you cannot check them.
You are short of four years of work: the years are counted on 31 Mar 2027 and IIM Lucknow makes no exception.
You cannot leave your job for a year: classes are held on the Noida campus across four terms, not on weekends.
You only have an online GMAT score: IIM Lucknow takes only scores from a test centre, so book a centre slot first.
Counsellor's advice
If you have four years of work by 31 Mar 2027 and a test centre score, apply in Phase 2 by 17 Oct 2026. If you are shortlisted in one phase and not picked, you cannot apply again that year, so send your best form once.

In short
IIM Ahmedabad PGPX costs INR 8.95 Lakhs more, asks for the same 4 years of work and ranks higher in NIRF. If both call you and the fee is not a worry, weigh the rank; if the fee matters, IIM Lucknow saves that money.
In short
IIM Bangalore EPGP asks for one more year of work and ranks higher in NIRF. If you have 5 years of work, apply to both; if you have only 4, IIM Lucknow is the one open to you this year.
In short
IIM Calcutta MBAEx needs 5 years of work and sits lower than IIM Lucknow in NIRF. If you already have 4 years of work, apply to IIM Lucknow now rather than wait a year.
In short
IIM Indore EPGP costs a little more, needs 5 years of work and sits lower in NIRF. If you have 4 years of work, IIM Lucknow is the one you can apply to; if you have 5, compare the two offers.
