You should pursue an MBA at IIM Jammu. Your decision in this case should be influenced by the IIM's strong reputation for quality and the respect you receive from those around you. The following are the reasons behind the same:
Without a doubt, IIM Jammu is a perfect platform for one to enjoy and live in a very peaceful and aesthetic place, with nice people around you, while maintaining professionalism. It has a cultural festival, a sports festival, numerous fun events, celebrations, and so on that, you will remember for the rest of your life.
The career prospects once you complete your PGDM from Goa Institute of Management depend largely on your specialization and the plethora of opportunities available. The overall placement has been decent but specialization-wise, there are continuous changes.
GIM is generally considered to be an average B School that does not even make it to the top 20. But its alumni have proven otherwise by achieving more than a top B School graduate. But this wasn’t a cakewalk and required a lot of determination and passion.
The career prospects are subjective and can be determined solely on your performance, specialization, and your determination. It’s not the same for all as GIM is not a top B School. You will have to pave your own way to success.

If you are thinking to pursue MBA in Business Analytics from IISWBM, go through the pros and cons of the college first.
Pros:
Cons:
IIM Ranchi has a good HRM program among the IIM. IIM Kozhikode also has a great HR faculty. But most IIMs don’t have well-designed HRM courses. Also, very few recruiting companies offer HR job roles at the placement drive of IIMs. Usually, most companies prefer students from XLRI, TISS, SIBM, SCMHRD, etc. for HR job roles.
IIT Roorkee is a better option for an MBA. It is not just the IIM tag that one should consider while choosing a business school. There are various factors like the establishment year of an institute, course fee, location, placement scenario, faculty, infrastructure, alumni network, etc. that must be considered during the selection.
IIT Roorkee is a well-established institution with a long history of excellence. Its Department of Management Studies (DoMS) has been functioning since 1998. On the other hand, IIM Amritsar is one of the newer IIMs in India, having been established in 2015.
Here are the MBA placement statistics of both DoMS (IIT Roorkee) and IIM Amritsar for 2023:
| PARTICULARS | (DoMS) IIT ROORKEE | IIM AMRITSAR |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Recruiters | 50+ | 110+ |
| Total number of students | 69 | 212 |
| Highest CTC | INR 25.8 LPA | INR 25.21 LPA |
| Average CTC | INR 16.8 LPA | INR 14.63 LPA |
| Median CTC | INR 18 LPA | INR 13.54 LPA |
| Top Recruiters | Deloitte, EY, Paytm, ICICI Bank, Vedanta, Infosys, etc. | Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, Deloitte, Genpact, and others. |
IIT Roorkee offers good placements, but more than that, it provides a rich academic environment to its students. The students of DoMS don’t just interact with each other, but also with the students of other departments like engineering. This enhances their understanding of things, and helps in the exchange of diverse perspectives.
IIT Roorkee is much older to IIM Amritsar, which is why it offers a rich alumni network and a strong brand name.
Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee over IIM Amritsar for an MBA.
