Questions Asked On IIM Trichy, Tiruchirappalli
Is IIM Trichy the best among new IIMs?
It would not be right to question the idea of ranking institutes based on metrics such as the highest CTC (cost to company) offered to graduates, or the perceived quality of the companies that hire graduates. It is not the institute itself that determines a person's success, but rather the individual's own actions and what they do with the education they receive. You also emphasize the importance of academic and personal discipline, which you believe are more valuable than material success.
People believe that everyone who studies at any IIM has the potential to be successful, but not necessarily in the sense of earning a high salary or getting a high-paying job. Instead, the true value of an institute lies in the knowledge and skills that a person gains, and how they use them to make a positive impact in the world. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to determine their own success and make the most of the opportunities they receive. You will have a positive experience studying at IIM Trichy, but it will not be fair or accurate to claim that it is the best new IIM.
Is it worth it to go into 6 new IIMs (Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur, Udaipur, Trichy & Kashipur) rather than going for an MS?
Before choosing a college, try to make sure what you are really interested in. If it is MS then don’t go for any IIM. This is because you can pursue an MBA later in life if MS did not work for you. But you will not get the chance to choose Ms after your MBA. Also since it’s your area of interest, chances are you might find your talents and may want to work on them.
Now if you are sure about the course but confused about the IIMs, I will give you my honest opinion. The new IIMs are enjoying fame and glory owing to the achievements of their predecessors alone. They haven’t done much to attain the level of older IIMs. These new IIMs are poorly organized. The faculty is below average, the infrastructure is substandard and the teaching is pathetic. Yet they are here to claim the coveted IIM tag.
So if you are someone for whom the tag of IIM and its high placement matters only, you can surely go for a new IIM. But if you value education over institutions then base your decision on research.

The aspects of judging a college’s worth depend on the following factors
- legacy
- alumni experience
- perception among peers
- quality of students
- faculty
- institute culture
- events and activities
- pedagogy
- Summer and final placement opportunities
NMIMS renders you short-term advantages but IIMs offer many long term advantages. Even the faculty is better at IIMs than at NMIMS. But being a new institute, it lacks an alumni base. Any far-sighted person can definitely say that your IIM tag will help you in the long run.
Now based on your list, the order is
IIM Udaipur>IIM Ranchi>IIM Trichy>IIM Rohtak> IIM Raipur>IIM Kashipur
