IIM Rohtak or IIM Ranchi IPM: Which is Better?

IIM Rohtak and IIM Ranchi offer the same five-year BBA + MBA degree and produce comparable placement outcomes. The difference lies in the kind of experience each programme offers. IIM Rohtak has a larger IPM batch, a bigger campus, and the advantage of being in Delhi NCR. It is also the more established programme, having admitted its first IPM batch in 2019. 

IIM Ranchi has a smaller, more close-knit batch, introduces management subjects only after a broad first year, and costs less over the first three years. 

Since the two institutes select through different entrance exams, applying to both gives you more chances of an offer. Weigh batch size, location, curriculum, and fees against your priorities before you make the final choice.
