IIM MBA Fees V/s ROI

Body

Many IIMs, especially the older ones, justify their high fees with strong average salaries and quick ROI. But in baby and newer IIMs, the fees remain steep around 15 to 18 lakhs while the first salaries often hover around 12–16 LPA. This makes the ROI look less attractive when compared to top IIMs or even some other B-schools with lower fees.

Personally, I feel that going to a baby IIM at a high cost is not always the wisest financial decision if one’s main goal is immediate ROI. While the brand name has weight in the long run, it might not compensate for the initial burden of loans and average salaries. For someone who wants strong ROI and faster financial stability, exploring other B-schools with better cost-to-benefit ratios or focusing on skill-building might be a smarter path. The IIM tag is valuable, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of putting yourself under unnecessary debt without guaranteed returns.
