IIM Mumbai  and SPJIMR are still dominating the Ops/SCM space. With the rise of E-commerce and Quick Commerce, Supply Chain is becoming the new 'it' domain. Also, seeing UTD and IIT Bombay on this list is a good reminder that engineers often have a massive edge in technical Operations roles.

If you’re a Maharashtra candidate or can crack that 99.99 percentile in CET, the ROI is unbeatable. No other college on this list can touch that debt-to-salary ratio

If you want to be a Creative Director or a Brand Manager, a 19 LPA from MICA is worth more than a 25 LPA elsewhere because of the network you get in the ad-world. Same for SCMHRD and HR. Choose your college based on your function, not just the highest number!

Honestly, XLRI and SPJIMR are sometimes even more prestigious in the eyes of Consulting firms than some of the newer IIMs. If you’re serious about HR or Ops, XAT is actually a better bet than CAT. Plus, the Decision Making (DM) section in XAT actually tests your business logic, not just your math speed!
