MBA from IIT vs IIM: Where is it better to do MBA, if you want to do management course then definitely check once..

Best College for MBA: With the results of CAT, the major management entrance exam, the competition to get admission to an MBA has intensified. In this race, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) remains the center of attraction. Apart from this, IIT business schools are also gradually becoming popular among students. According to a report by Indian Express, IIT management schools are now performing brilliantly in their placements and national rankings, and due to this, after IIM, people prefer to do business courses from IIT.

Why is IIT becoming the first choice for management?

Although management schools were included in IIT later. But even after this, IIT schools are seen giving tough competition to IIM. IIM started between 1960 and 1990. Whereas the management departments of IIT were established from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s. In recent years, IIT schools have increased their performance, and today every year two to three IIT institutes are ranked in the top 10 government management colleges. For example, in the NIRF ranking 2021, IIT Delhi, Kharagpur, and Bombay made their place in the top 10 management colleges. In 2022 also, IIT Delhi and Madras made their place, and in 2023 and 2024, IIT Delhi and Bombay have remained ranked.

Why IITs are becoming the first choice

According to the report, IITs are now competing with private colleges as well. For this, these institutes have focused on improving their management research, which includes research in higher education journals, and other research activities.

IITs have adequate funding for research. Professor Rajesh Srinivas Upadhyayula, Dean of IIM Kozhikode, says that the team of teachers and researchers at IIT is very strong. Apart from this, IITs do not face any shortage of funding for research from the government. On the other hand, IIMs have been focusing on research only in recent years, due to which their research ranking has lagged behind IITs.
