| Collvera verdict | ||
| Apply if | You have a CAT score in the 88-95+ percentile band, a strong academic record (Class 10/12/Bachelor's in the 80%+ range), and your target post-MBA function is Finance, Consulting, or Tech/Analytics — the three buckets that absorbed 73% of Class 22-24 placements. The ₹21.50 L 2-year fee + 96.63% placement rate (audit-certified) makes the ROI workable. Particularly strong fit for non-male / non-engineering candidates who can leverage diversity weighting. | You have CAT 95+ percentile with sectional 75+ each (especially strong QA — 35% weight), and want one of the better-placing baby IIMs with international accreditation (AMBA + QS 201+ + Eduniversal 4 Palmes). Particularly strong fit for Strategy & Consulting aspirants (avg ₹22.91 L), Finance aspirants (avg ₹23.40 L, median ₹24.50 L), MBA-BA aspirants (highest program avg ₹21.07 L for those with Math/Stats/CS UG), female candidates leveraging +5 bonus, and HR aspirants for MBA-HRM (41% PPO rate). |
| Skip if | You are competitive for IIM Indore/Kozhikode/Lucknow (CAT 96+ percentile, strong academics) — the median outcome at those schools is materially higher and the brand-strength gap is real. Also skip if you specifically need pure-play marketing/brand careers (15% of Class 22-24, not a dominant focus) or if a finance-light placement skew matters (35% Finance is high for some candidates, low for others). | You are competitive for IIM Indore / Kozhikode / Shillong / Trichy (CAT 98+ percentile, strong academics) — those schools have higher headline outcomes. Also skip if you cannot verify the 2026-28 fee before committing (transparency risk), or if Jharkhand location is non-negotiable. MBA-BA aspirants without Math/Stats/CS UG cannot apply to that track. |

Why Collvera comparisons are different
Most comparison sites are paid affiliate listings or coaching upsells. We don't take ads, commissions, or paid placements.
01
Audit-traced data
Every placement figure is from a CA-verified report with a UDIN stamp. Self-reported numbers are flagged.
02
Computed insights
Payback months, female cohort deltas, recruiter overlap — we calculate, you don't guess.
03
Real cutoffs
CAT thresholds come from actual conversion data. No "expected" guesses or coaching extrapolations.
04
Zero monetization
No ads. No affiliate links. No "sponsored colleges". Your data is never sold.
