IIM Trichy: 86 Answered Questions

IIM Udaipur or IIM Trichy would be the best for MBA/PGDM?

PixelPrincess

IIM Udaipur and IIM Trichy both have their strengths, but when it comes to fees and ROI, IIM Udaipur's total cost is around 22 lakhs, with an average package of 19.5 lakhs, making it a decent investment. However, IIM Trichy, while not explicitly detailed here, has a reputation for better placements and possibly a more robust alumni network, which can enhance long-term career prospects. Scholarships at IIM Udaipur are mostly limited to reserved categories, which might make it less appealing for general category students. Honestly, if you are looking for a more established brand with potentially better ROI, IIM Trichy could be the smarter financial choice, while IIM Udaipur is great for those who prefer a vibrant campus life and are okay with the associated risks.

What is the CAT score to get into IIM Trichy?

Epil Gagrai

The cutoff for IIM Trichy is released by CAP. IIM Trichy CAT cutoff 2024 is 94 percentile overall and 73 percentile sectional for the general category. The overall cutoff has increased from the previous year, which was 92 percentile in 2023.

IIM Trichy CAT cutoff, as per CAP 2024 are as follows:

Category	Total Percentile	VARC	DILR	QA
General	94	73	73	73
EWS	77	50	50	50
NC-OBC	77	50	50	50
SC	60	44	44	44
ST	40	25	25	30
DAP	40	25	25	30

What is the minimum CAT percentile to get a call from IIM Kozhikode and IIM Trichy?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

The minimum qualifying CAT cut-off percentile for IIM Kozhikode admission is 85 for General, 75 for NC-OBC/EWS, 65 for SC, and 55 for ST/PwD candidates.

The minimum CAT Cutoff for IIM Trichy admission is 92 for general, 70 for EWS, 74 for NC-OBC, 54 for SC, and 40 for ST and PwD candidates.

However, it’s important to note that the qualifying CAT cutoff alone is not enough to seek admission to these institutes. One needs to clear the Personal Interview and meet other criteria too.

Can I expect an offer from IIM Trichy with a waitlist rank of 48 in the second list in NC-OBC category?

Trivendra PadmaLives in Tiruchirappalli

There is a possibility that your waitlist rank at IIM Trichy could be 48 in the NC-OBC category. Perhaps in the second or third list at the very least, but without a doubt, it can be converted.

What if I got an offer letter from IIM Trichy but don’t want to join? Will I get a refund of Rs 20,000, which I paid to know the waitlist??

Bidita GhoseLives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Yes, you will get the refund amount that you paid to block the seat, but you have to apply for the refund before the mentioned date. You have to go to the official website of IIM Trichy. During the admission process, they generate a link for a refund as well. You just have to fill in your bank account details and the reason for not joining the institute. They will refund your amount within 4-7 days. The same case happened to me. I paid 20,000 rupees to block my seat for IIM Trichy core but was not able to convert; after some time, when I became hopeless, I applied for a refund, and they returned it in a few days.

Is it worth leaving a NITIE Mumbai admit for IIM Trichy if I'm not sure of specialisation to pursue?

Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

NITIE Mumbai is a renowned B-school which focuses majorly on Operational management. It has the best placements in this field. Also, it admits only Engineers for its MBA program. So, if you want to explore and not sure about your specialisation in MBA, you can choose IIM Trichy over NITIE Mumbai. Because IIM has many specialisation to offer, which will give you a holistic approach of MBA.

However, IIM Trichy is a new IIM and NITIE Mumbai is very old institute. The placement of Nitie Mumbai is far better than IIM Trichy, but in niche domains.

Should I prefer IIM Nagpur over IIM Trichy, even I have taken admission in Trichy but I have chance to get 100% scholarship in IIM NAGPUR? What should I do?

Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

In MBA, fees is the major concern, as the repayment of the loan taken for the courses is a tough task.

IIM Trichy is far superior to IIM Nagpur in terms of reputation and performance, and everyone will choose Trichy. However, if you are receiving a 100% scholarship, I recommend choosing Nagpur because you won't have to take out a loan to cover your tuition, which will be extremely advantageous for your future job.

You will have a better ROI if you choose college with 100 percent scholarships. Also, IIM Nagpur is the most developing IIM among the new generation IIMs.It has its own permanent campus and better placements records.

Considering my interest in Finance and a prior IT work experience of 2.5+ years, what should be the preference for me among IIFT Delhi, NMIMS Mumbai, and new IIMs (IIM Ranchi/Trichy)?

Advaith BhaskarLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

I believe that the roles available in the finance sector at NMIMS are readily equivalent to those at IIFT, if not superior. Mumbai's location is quite advantageous for the institute. During placements, a sizable number of finance companies visited the campus.

However, there is fierce rivalry for these positions within the class, particularly among those who studied business as a major in undergrad. This is why it can be difficult for engineers pursuing an MBA at NM to be shortlisted for financial positions because financial institutions prefer to interview candidates with backgrounds in commerce. However, getting on a shortlist for financial roles becomes simpler if you are able to pass one or two levels of CFA or FRM.

In terms of financial roles, NMIMS = IIFT > new IIMs

Which one is better among them for a fresher without work experience: IIM Ranchi or IIM Trichy or IIM Raipur?

Aditi Roylives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

It's difficult to say which one is better IIM Ranchi, IIM Trichy, and IIM Raipur for a fresher without work experience, as it depends on your personal preferences and career goals.

Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:

Batch Profiles: Whenever you join a new place, especially an IIM, it takes time to keep up with the pace of the professors. You will need students who will guide you in the same. Both Trichy and Ranchi are excellent in this aspect having diverse student backgrounds.
Faculty: Another great way to evaluate an institute is to research the internal and visiting faculty as information sharing is an indispensable part of IIM culture. IIM Ranchi is said to have the best faculty from the best B-schools like IIM B, C, L and I. IIM Ranchi also has industry experts who’ve worked there for over 30 years and reached a CXO designation across respected corporate conduct classes for its students. These classes are full-fledged 30 hour credit courses. Basically, IIM Ranchi exposes you to the brilliant minds of the country.

What is going to be a better option among the following B schools - VGSOM, new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Raipur), or NMIMS?

Rajat TokasXaviers || NIT DURGAPUR || L&T || MDI gurgaon(2020-2022)

When it comes to choosing a business school, the competition is fierce and the options can be overwhelming. Three institutes that are considered to be among the top in the country are the Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSOM) at IIT Kharagpur, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi, and the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS).

If you are interested in an operations profile, then VGSOM is a great choice. It is considered to be one of the best institutes in the country for operations specialization, after NITIE. Additionally, the return on investment (ROI) is high. IIM Ranchi, on the other hand, may have a lower average package compared to the other two institutes, but it has the prestige of the IIM tag and a decent profile. The hostels are also fabulous, with single rooms available for students.

NMIMS is considered to be more costly and the batch strength is over 500 students. The top 150-200 students get superb packages and roles that are at par with other top B-schools, however, the next lot of students may have a lot of start-ups, etc. If you want to play safe, VGSOM or IIM Ranchi might be the best option.

However, if you are willing to take a risk, NMIMS might be a good choice as the profiles there are really good. It's ultimately up to you to decide which institute aligns best with your career goals and objectives. Rest assured, whichever institute you choose, you will be choosing a great institution as all three are among the top institutes in the country.
