Which institute should l join: MICA, IRMA or XIMB?

IRMA has a legacy of nearly 40 years. The Institute is distinctive from the word go. The mission of promoting sustainable and equitable socio-economic development of rural people through professional management is itself different. Also, we are complete value-for-money with our return on investment among the best in the country and the average salary being close to Rs. 12 Lacs. IRMA attracts organizations from sectors as varied as Cooperatives/Producers Collectives like GCMMF (cooperative body managing the Amul brand) to Multinational and national agribusiness corporations like Tolaram, Afriventures, Cummins, Cargill, ITC, to grassroots development organizations like the Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (JEEVIKA). We are the most preferred amongst the rural management schools and in the top few amongst mainstream management schools in the country.

MICA and XIMB are bigger brand names than IRMA if that matters to you. While XIMB is a regular B-School providing general management courses with specializations in finance, marketing and operations, MICA is only for marketing and sales and IRMA for rural management. So consider MICA or IRMA only if you have a strong inclination towards these courses and are extremely sure about making a career in this space. If campus life and peer to peer learning matters to you, you should choose MICA over the others. If you are passionate about making a career in media or advertising, MICA is the best option for you (but you can obviously get into other sectors like FMCG, e-commerce, IT, etc. From MICA as well).

MICA offers a post-graduate programme in marketing, IRMA in rural management and XIMB is a typical B-School where you can choose courses in any of the disciplines of management(finance, marketing etc.). Hence it totally depends on your inclination and career goals as to which one of the above you should join. Join MICA if you are very sure that you want to pursue marketing as it provides courses only in marketing and there is no other school which can provide such in-depth and wide knowledge in this area. Best of Luck!
