Which college is better for MBA, IIM Trichy, IIM Udaipur or SIBM Pune??
In the long run, it can be argued that the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) may offer better opportunities for learning and growth compared to the Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM). While an opportunity to learn from any IIM is certainly wonderful, it is worth noting that the IIMs are known for their rigorous academic programs and may push students very hard.
In terms of specific areas of study, IIM Trichy may have a stronger focus on finance compared to IIM Udaipur, but in other specializations, the two institutes may be relatively similar. However, IIM Udaipur may offer more support for entrepreneurs and may provide easier access to international exposure. Ultimately, the decision of which institute to attend should be based on an individual's priorities and goals.
I'll convert IIM Udaipur, probably Raipur and Kashipur, DBE DU as well. Which one should I take considering I am in a tight financial corridor currently and would have to take a 7 digit loan for IIMs?
All the IIMs offer great educational loans so financial problems are not a major issue here. Many banks are lined up to offer loans at very low interest to the students at the time of admission. The ROI is also great compared to DBE. Apart from that the IIM tag will also open multiple opportunities for you. But if you are confused about the 3 IIMs, I will enlighten you about the culture of each. This might help you make a better decision.
IIM Udaipur: Academic rigor
IIM Raipur: Discipline
IIM Kashipur: Overall rigor
So make the choice based on your own preferences.
Is an FPM from a newer IIM, say Udaipur, worth it or should I try again next year?
The current leading USP of IIM Udaipur is its highly enriched research culture which has made it among the top IIMs in this aspect specifically. The NIRF rankings also speak of its rising status over the last few years. Some highlights of the FPM program from IIM Udaipur are
Some world-class faculties from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta visit the campus of IIM Udaipur to spread their knowledge and sophistication to FPM students. This is done through coaching programs and workshops where you can identify your inclinations and talents.
The faculty of the FPM department is dynamic and capable of a concerted arrangement required to produce research through its students and themselves.
Research is something that requires your efforts at a personal level. So joining a 2-year Research program will be beneficial to you only. You can also switch to better research programs or even redo your Ph.D.
To initiate a career in research, one needs serious personal commitment, else there are many instances wherein people have failed to make a career in research. The newer IIMs offer little scope in this aspect and Udaipur is an exception. So don’t lose this opportunity and go for it without much thought.

I need help building my future between MDI Gurgaon, IIM Udaipur, and IIM Rohtak. Which college should I choose for my Postgraduate Management Program?
MDI Gurgaon does, however, provide the best opportunity of the three. Because IIM A serves as its mentor, IIM Udaipur benefits from excellent pedagogy.
An IIM designation is a tasty differentiator, but most corporations do not differentiate in MBA programs except ABC.
MDI provides the best placements of the three. And, as an MBA graduate, you're all about the numbers. No college can guarantee you the job you want. However, at MDI, you will have plenty of opportunities in the field of your choice. You'll also benefit from good industry relationships built over years of goodwill. Even during downturns, some companies attend MDI on a regular basis. New IIMs have several years to build self-sustaining industry goodwill. Placements are thus unpredictable.
Nonetheless, if the IIM designation is a general requirement. The location is the new IIMs. However, you must work equally hard because that title alone does not guarantee a successful career.
