Which IIM should I choose amongst Bodh Gaya, Sirmaur, and Jammu?
All the 3 B Schools you mentioned have been established recently and are not very different from each other. My sister is an IIM Jammu pass out so I will mention whatever I know of that particular IIM only.
- It was established in 2016 and initially functioned under IIM Lucknow but now runs as an autonomous school.
- Located in the heart of Jammu city, IIM Jammu gives an edge over other new IIMs because of better connectivity.
- The campus life is a blend of a hectic schedule with tight deadlines that will always keep you on your toes
- Emphasis is also placed on extracurricular activities through sports, cultural and regional events. The Annual Sports Event “Funathon” is conducted to showcase the talents of students in sports.
- Great exposure is provided to students
- through various Guest Lectures and various events like HR Conclave and CEO Summit
- Being a new IIM, the student-driven culture is at its peak here. You are responsible for solving issues related to the establishment of clubs and committees.
So I think IIM Jammu is probably a good choice.
How is IIM Sirmaur compared to other IIMs?
IIM Sirmaur is comparatively new but it has already gained fame and popularity soon due to its excellent performance in every aspect of being a good college.

There are lots of events, cultural fests being held at the institute. Both inter and intra level competitions shape you to be the better version of yourself and also make you corporate-world ready.

How is the campus of IIM SIRMAUR? Will the 2021-23 batch get to live in a permanent campus? Will it be ready by then?
IIM Sirmaur being a newer establishment currently functions through their temporary campus. It is a green and peaceful campus, appropriate for an educational institution. They provide all the necessary facilities required by the students. You will get everything on campus.
Here you will get a beautiful view of mountains in the front and the Yamuna river flowing in the backyards.
During the lockdown in 2020, the development of the permanent campus began. The students of the batch 2021-2023 most probably won't be able to enjoy the permanent campus. They will have to complete their postgraduate studies from the temporary campus.
Is it worth to do tourism and hospitality management course from IIM Sirmaur for the sake of IIM tag?
One very important aspect that people forget while choosing colleges is the leader under which the college performs. Without effective leadership, any new IIM will become a worthless B School. One such example is IIM Trichy. IIM Trichy prospered under the leadership of Director Sri Prafulla Agnihotri who made Trichy what it is today. He constructed it from scratch. Through his relentless efforts, he was able to attract top professors and build a sound faculty base. He managed to provide the best through the temporary campus itself.
The same person Director Sri Prafulla Agnihotri is now leading IIM Sirmaur so I can say with conviction that if not immediately, then gradually Sirmaur’s brand name will improve magnificently in the years to come. So surely it is worth joining IIM Sirmaur and do the Tourism and Hospitality course.
Are colleges like LBSIM/FORE better than? IIM Nagpur, Sambalpur, Sirmaur, and Jammu?
Top B Schools like LBSIM/FORE are incomparable to the new IIMs. They have been established for decades and the new IIMs cannot be included in them at least in the near future. Although some might say that some new IIMs are under the mentorship of old IIMs like Lucknow, they haven’t made the mark yet. Whereas the already leading B Schools LMSIM and FORE are on the verge of making it to the top. Even the IIM tag is of little value here.
Let me explain this through an example. You go to buy an electronic device and purchase a branded device. Yet the model is a very old one. It is of little value despite being branded. Same is the case here. The new IIMs do give you the IIM tag but it is of little worth.
What are the prospects of doing an MBA in tourism and hospitality from IIM Sirmaur? How would it compare with core MBA courses from other private AA and A grade MBA institutes?
Both the courses give an edge to each other and cannot be compared. MBA T and HM are specialized courses that should be taken only if you are inclined toward the field. It helps you to establish a career and knowledge of the Tourism and Hospitality industry.
The 2-year MBA flagship course has been standing for more than 2 years and therefore its curriculum cannot be compared to that of these recently launched courses. Some perks of these courses are
- Become a part of the legacy.
- Learn how to build everything from scratch by founding or becoming part of clubs and committees.
- International Job opportunities
- Himachal is famous for its tourism because of its beautiful landscapes. The tourism sector of Himachal Pradesh contributes 7% to the state GDP.
- You can contribute to promoting Tourism, increasing its capacities to serve foreigners while remaining settled in your hometown.
So this course is very beneficial for people who have a keen interest in tourism.
What would be a better choice: IIM Sambalpur, IIM SIRMAUR, or IMI Delhi?
When considering the three business schools in question, IIM Sambalpur, IIM Sirmaur, and IMI Delhi are in the same league, with IMI Delhi having a slight edge over the other two in terms of placements. This is due to the fact that it is older than the newer IIMs and has been in the B-Schools scene for a longer period of time. However, it is important to note that the newer IIMs have had a meteoric rise because of their IIM designation.
All three of these business schools are good in their respective positions, but if you have a slight preference for Human Resources, IMI Delhi may be the better choice for you due to the HR profiles offered to students and the school's reputation for its HRM program. Additionally, while the location of IMI may be more favorable, if you are looking to study and make the most of your next two years in a more secluded setting away from the hustle and bustle of a metro area, IIM Sirmaur or Sambalpur may be more fitting.
Ultimately, it is important to reach out to students and alumni of these respective business schools to gain a clearer understanding and make a decision that aligns with your own preferences and goals. It is important to remember that ultimately, the decision should be based on what will allow you to perform at your best.
Which one should I join MBA, BE, DU or IIM Sirmaur?
IIM Sirmaur is the best option among these. You will get good learning opportunities there. The faculties are highly qualified as any other IIM. Due to the smaller batch size, students get the required attention from professors.
The institute has a good placement record. IIM Sirmaur placement 2021 had an average CTC of INR 9.60 LPA. Besides the on-campus placement drive, the brand value will help you get jobs through offline applications.
Which is better, IIM Sirmaur tourism and hospitality or FMS BHU?
FMS BHU gives an edge to IIM Sirmaur in almost every aspect. The fact that it is a baby IIM yet to establish its position in the industry is the main drawback of IIM Sirmaur. Even its IIM tag lacks credibility and worth because of its weak alumni base and below average placements. However, if you are specifically choosing IIM for the course and not the tag, then you might go for it.
FMS BHU is one of the leading B Schools technically due to its early establishment. It has an upper hand in the following aspects when compared to IIM Sirmaur
- Better placements than IIM Sirmaur
- Strong alumni base
- Better infrastructure and faculty
