I will do a brief comparison between the MBA programs of the 2 institutes based on common parameters and leave the final call for you to make 

  • Brand value: IIT Delhi enjoys international recognition while IIM Shillong offers the much coveted IIM tag. However, being a new IIM, its tag does not hold much value in comparison to IIT Delhi's tag.
  • Fees: The MBA program offered at IIM Shillong costs a whooping ?14.6 Lakhs while that at IIT Delhi costs around INR 10.4 Lakhs saving you a few Lakhs.
  • Location: Due to its central location, IIT Delhi offers much more opportunities in terms of exposure and placements. Located near the IT hub Gurgaon, it attracts many startups that come with internship offers. IIM on the other hand is located in the North Eastern part of India and lacks the necessary industrial touch.
  • Infrastructure: IIT Delhi is one of the oldest IITs lacks in terms of infrastructure when compared to the newly built IIM Shillong which has a dreamy campus.
  • Top sectors: IIT Delhi is well known for its specialization in IT/Consulting, and Operation whereas IIM Shillong’s top sectors are Sales & Marketing, Finance, and Consulting.

Now weigh the pros and cons of both and make a wise decision based on the same.

Yes, it is valuable. DMS IIT Delhi is a good option for an MBA. It has a smaller batch size, giving it an edge over other B-Schools for placements. It’s easier for the institute to achieve 100% placement rate. During DMS IIT Delhi MBA placements 2022, students received a median CTC of INR 16 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 33 LPA. The ROI is pretty good since the course fee is INR 9.6 LPA. 

IIT Delhi has a locational advantage as it is located at the heart of Delhi. The location attracts top MNCs and startups located around the capital. Another advantage of choosing IIT Delhi is its Global Field Study (GFS) program. Through this program, the institute takes students to one of the countries abroad on a field trip. This trip is an excellent option to get global exposure.
