Which is better, IMI Delhi PGDM or UBS Chandigarh?

I have a few friends from IMI Delhi and they vouch for their PGDM course. Here are some of the things that you need to know about the PGDM program offered by IMI.

• Location: As it is based in Delhi, the location is definitely an advantage. There are perks to living in the city with MNCs in close vicinity. There are also multiple hangout options and tourist spots you can explore.
• Accreditation: Being the country’s first corporate-sponsored B school has major advantages. It is associated with AMBA which puts the college in the league of Global MBAs.
• Faculty: The faculties are well-qualified and experienced in their fields which makes IMI a good choice for Management programs.
• Student exchange: With strong ties to global prominent B-schools, you will be given the advantage to spend a trimester abroad to study in a B-school of your choice.
• Alumni base: The alumni from the college are spread all over various industries and domains. This definitely plays as an advantage to the college’s credibility and rapport.
• Batch strength: A smaller batch strength is always better as far as placements are concerned. IMI has a very good batch strength with PGDM HR having a class strength of just 60 students.
• Peer learning: With a filtered admission process, the college chooses the best minds of the country. Therefore, you will have a good peer learning experience.
• Placements: Based on the recent trends, an average package of about INR 12.7 lakhs per annum with 100% placements can be expected from the institute.

If you need more information, you can refer to TIME’s ranking and make a decision accordingly. Overall, IMI is a really good option. You should research well before going ahead.
