SPJIMR is generally better than IIM Indore for operations if you get into the Operations or Supply Chain specialization at SPJIMR, but Indore's generalist PGP is stronger for candidates unsure of specialization. SPJIMR at Rs 26.5L fees and Rs 32 LPA average places more specialized candidates in ops roles at top FMCG (HUL, P&G, Nestle), manufacturing (Tata Steel, Mahindra), and e-commerce (Amazon, Flipkart ops).
IIM Indore at Rs 16.5L fees and Rs 25 LPA average is more generalist but operations graduates still place at similar companies. The advantage SPJIMR holds is specialized curriculum designed around ops, sponsored corporate projects, and industry mentorship.
IIM Indore advantages: lower fees (saves Rs 10L), larger batch (600 vs 240), diverse placements across domains. For consulting (MBB and non-MBB), Indore is slightly better because consulting firms prefer IIM brand over SPJIMR for MBA hiring. For gen man roles, Indore edges out because of conglomerate preferences.
For ops specifically, SPJIMR wins. SPJIMR recently shifted to summer internships (SIP), making recruiter experience and PPO conversion easier. If targeting supply chain and logistics operations at top 5 companies, SPJIMR operations specialization is the best ROI among Indian MBAs.
If you're exploring multiple domains, IIM Indore offers flexibility. Cross-apply to both if possible and choose based on specific specialization offered and your long-term goals. Check your eligibility at collvera.
