Hello Rohan,

Hope you are doing good.

Well, the all three colleges you have mentioned differ very less from each other. But as you have mentioned your criterion of Placement as well as Exposure.

I'll be trying to explain you in the same way.

Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management, Harihar, Karnataka is a NAAC accredited A grade college, with a median salary of 5.6 lacs which is wise enough.

The Return on Investment (ROI) is also decent as the fee structure of the Institute is about 10 lac. So, it's good. And talking about the exposure, Bangalore is in Karnataka, the hub ofcourse, you will never fail to get an opportunity to work with the best companies during internships, you will get industrial visit to the most emerging industrial city. So, yes the exposure factor is huge in this Institute.

Coming to the Japuria Institute of Management Studies Noida is same as that of the above discussed institute with a median package of 6.5 lac and fee structure is same as Kirloskar. Even Lucknow is a good developed industrial area, so you will find good exposure at this place also.

So, you may take your preference towards ease of location when compared to these both colleges as more or less, their performances are the Same.

And finally TSM Madurai, It is also the same as the above two, median package of 5.5 lac, with the same fee structure and good location.

So, you may consider your preferences for opting among these three. As they all are the same level colleges.

Hope the information is helpful to you !

All the best!

Thankyou!

Hello Aseema,

Kirloskar institute of advance management, harihar has two campuses and harihar campus is the older one. It has a good placement record but ROI is not up to the mark. The college gives admission on the basis of MAT, CAT CMAT score and graduation percentage should be 60 or more.

Admission will be given on the basis of entrance score, graduation marks and GD/PI performance. 

I wish you all the best.

Hi Gautam,

As per my Personal Experience I would suggest that you that you should go for IBA bangalore or Pune. Though Bangalore is an IT  hub but there are more opportunity for MBA graduates in Pune.Kirloskar college which that is situated in Harihar (332kms from Bengaluru) & Pune ,but it is 60 kms away from Pune.The College doesnt't have proper faculties, management & Infrastruture and the college se connectivity issue also.In IBA you will get more practical experience that will help you in your placements.In Kirloskar last year highest pkge was 14 lacs that is pretty much high from IBA but 14 lacs was just CTC actual pkge was only 7-8 lacs ( major was from marketing only). So comparing both the colleges I would suggest you to go for IBA Bengaluru.
