Should you pick MBA HHM at IIM Bodh Gaya?

This course suits students who want to work in hospitals, health insurance or health data, and who are ready to live on campus.

Pick it if:
You want a healthcare job, not a general one: Narayana Health, Fortis, Dr Lal PathLabs and KIMS Health hired from this batch on campus.
Your CAT score sits just at the shortlist mark: all three MBA programmes here use the same cutoff, so this one is not an easier way in.
Your family can pay in parts only: the tuition fee is charged term by term, six times over the two years.
You want the fee back fast: at this batch's average pay the full course fee comes back inside two working years, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on the headline package: the median pay for this batch was INR 12 LPA, well below the biggest offers.
You do not want to live on campus: the course is fully residential and hostel rent of INR 1.23 Lakhs a year is part of the cost.
You want a big city hospital network next door: the campus sits in Bodh Gaya, a small temple town, and hiring comes through the placement cell.
You will start work on the form only after the CAT result: interview calls go out within weeks of it and the seat is decided by March.
Counsellor's advice
If your CAT score clears the shortlist mark, apply to all three programmes here through the same process, and pick this one only if you want to work in healthcare. If you want a general management job, the flagship MBA here is the safer pick.

EDITOR'S NOTE

A 94% score only gets you the interview call. The merit list then gives your CAT score 45%, the interview 25% and your profile 30%, so a thin profile can still cost you the seat.

In short
If your CAT score is short of the IIM shortlist mark, IIHMR University is a real option with many more seats. If you clear the mark, IIM Bodh Gaya pays much better.
In short
