IIBM Patna News & Updates 2026: Notifications, Notice, Result

If you are planning to join an MBA from the IIMs, it is well worth understanding the difference between the BLACKI IIMs and other IIM campuses. The six IIMs, Bangalore, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Kozhikode, and Indore, are all widely regarded as BLACKI IIMs as being the most elite due to their heritage, highly competitive selection process, high-quality faculty team, international exposure, and top-notch placements year after year. Statistics also show median salary packages at BLACKI IIMs to be in the vicinity of 20 to 25% above those of other IIMs, and their alumni influence prime leadership roles in industries. This article aims to help you understand the key differences between BLACKI and other IIMs.

If you compare the older and newer IIMs, the most significant disparity is in their legacy, brand value, and placement figures. First-generation IIMs, such as Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta, are among the most renowned IIMs in India, boasting a strong international reputation. In 2025, old IIMs offered average packages in top positions in consulting, finance, and strategy that reached INR 25 to 35 lakh per annum. International companies continue to give them preference during campus placements. The new IIMs, established after 2009, are expanding rapidly with better infrastructure and faculty strength. Their average salaries now stand between INR 15 to 18 lakh, indicating steady improvement. Both contribute equally towards building up management education in India. Let us unveil the list of old vs new IIMs in India in this read.
