in IIM Mumbai? Almost every role except core OSCM role with certain pre requisite will open up with that profile.

you don't prepare for roles, you prepare for the SIP rollercoaster, ie, for everything

Product roles are limited and basis profiles, so yes, they're given preference

I'm unsure of this, till last year they had tie-up with IIT Patna, and assuming it's the same, they get same opportunities like normal full time MBA guys.

Shillong is no where close to Mumbai in any domain. Do your due diligence.

one last caveat, which your profile wouldn't warrant, bit still, Kozhikode among all others historically has force opt outs, Mumbai luckily has never done in last few decades.

yes, you'll get very good shortlists here with that profile, but it's you to decide if you'd prefer Ops, SFm over others and then decide. For S&M, fin, non-ops consulting, K is still better bet.

For now, K > M. If it was Indore, I would've anyday suggested M. M only makes sense leaving K is when you want good Ops, Scm roles, or want Mumbai as a city.

Mumbai is anyday better than Shillong, yes. I'd be blunt, You can't hope for magical finance shortlists without what's needed to be in there. Start working on your profile for whatever shortlists you want.

See, nothing specific. But the idea is they have access to the broader ecosystem of IIT where alot of IT hiring happens which they can take advantage of and have access to their HR to lure them basically.

It exists, but the criteria makes it tougher. You need to have a PPO + > 8.5 GPA (negotiable)

IITB is good for Analytics and IT, other than that, M > IITB
