Which is better for an MBA, IIM Amritsar or IIT Roorkee?
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.
Which is better, mechanical engineering in IIT Hyderabad or engineering physics at IIT Roorkee?
It is difficult to determine which is better; Mechanical Engineering in IIT Hyderabad or Engineering Physics at IIT Roorkee without knowing what your expectations from the degree are and your personal preferences. Nevertheless, I am here to spill a few facts about EP at IIT Roorkee.
- Engineering Physics at IIT Roorkee is a multidisciplinary branch, with courses from Physics, Electrical, Electronics, Mathematics, and Chemistry departments.
- The courses included in the curriculum are quite demanding and can be really challenging for those who have little interest in Science
- Engineering Physics provided no core placements after completion of the BTech degree.
- Those who have an interest in a specific field of Physics can pursue research as it has great scope.
- You can also work as a scientist in DRDO or ISRO.
- You can also opt for fields like Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, or Quantitative Finance where people with majors in CSE, Applied Maths, and Physics are preferred.
- Software Engineering roles are also available for EP students although it is challenging to manage the academics along with programming.
I would recommend you go for an easier branch that has less workload so that you can focus well on coding and get placed right after BTech in IIT.

I have the following college options for joining in MBA i.e IIM Sirmaur, IIT Roorkee, SIOM Nashik and XIMB, Bubaneswar. Which order of preference is appropriate?
My order of preference will be IIT Roorkee> IIM Sirmaur> XIMB Bhubaneswar> SIOM Nashik. When considering which institution to choose for an MBA, several factors should be taken into account.
Here are some points to consider regarding IIM Sirmaur, IIT Roorkee, SIOM Nashik and XIMB Bhubaneswar:
| Parameter | IIM Sirmaur | IIT Roorkee | SIOM Nashik | XIMB Bhubaneswar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NIRF Management Ranking 2023 | 98 | 18 | N/A | 46 |
| Establishment Year | 2015 | 1998 | 2005 | 1987 |
| Average Package | 14.45 | 18.34 | 14.35 | 16.64 |
| Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, Accenture, Cognizant, Schneider Electric, Hero Motors etc. | IDBI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IBM, BHEL etc. | Arrow Textiles Limited, Delta Finochem, Atlas Copco India Limited etc. | PwC, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Coca-Cola, L'Oreal, Nestle, Tata Steel, Amazon etc. |
Even though IIMs have a strong reputation in India for their management courses, IIM Sirmaur is quite new. It will take time to establish its brand name. SIOM is an older management institute but it is private, as opposed to IIM Sirmaur and IIT Roorkee. XIMB is a good institute, but its fees are high as compared to others.
I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee for an MBA because of its affordable fees, top class infrastructure, and a well established brand name.
