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.
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.
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.
If you want to see rank-wise, of course, IIT Roorkee is the best option and you will notice a difference in a variety of parameters, but IIT Hyderabad is also a good option because it has good faculty members and offers all advanced courses. Placements are also good here. As a result, both are relatively similar.
Both are excellent Mtech programs, but IIT Roorkee has an advantage over IIT Hyderabad due to the older IIT and its superior research environment.
IIT Roorkee Chemical Engineering is better than IIT BHU Civil Engineering. It is an old IIT and offers good exposure. The student culture on campus is great.
IIT Roorkee placements are good for Chemical Engineering. Each year almost 100% of students get placed from the branch. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 14.5 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 1.54 Crore per annum.
However, this is a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your own individual preferences. First you should make up your mind regarding the domain you want to continue with.

If I leave my biases towards Allahabad as a city aside. I would choose IIT Roorkee over IIIT Allahabad.

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 |

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.
I was in the same position as you last year. I too had the same options for my Bachelor and I chose IIT Roorkee due to the following reasons:-
