Hi,

With 5years of experience you will be able to join the 1 year GMP course at XLRI. It is earier to get into this course because the cutoff vary a lot it even goes down to 80%. When i gave XAT in 2015 it was as low as 65%. Even GMAT scores are accepted and that also varies from 640 to 700 based on your profile.

If you give GMAT and score above 700 then you will have plathora of options. ISB, SPJain and even Great Lakes. If your profile way to strong then you could try for other colleges in US like INSEAD,YALE if you are lucky you may even make to Harvard.

Hello Amit,

Any decision regarding selection of an B-school majorly depends on these two factors:

1. Interest: In my opinion your interest in the field of MBA is most important. If you are interested in the subjects which will be taught to you during your management program, you will automatically learn with great agility and grab a good job too (assuming you want that in the end). In IMI you are getting BKFS. So if you are really interested in the banking finance field, you should opt for this only. If not, do not go for the brand name that IMI carries, go for NIRMA instead.

2. ROI: Return of Investment is a factor which comes second in this list. Picking a brand or saving money is always a hard choice to make, even in our daily lives. But let me tell you something, you'll do MBA once and most probably it'll be last degree of your life. Do it wholeheartedly. Don't think too much about money (unless you are financially very weak). Money will come with time if you work hard and with passion. Being in a big college doesn't only gives you huge packages but it also provides you with an exposure which is priceless. So, here also I would suggest you to go for IMI.

Hii shah,

If you are interested in Sales marketing then you need to any Business course like MBA or BBA.

If you are un under graduate then opt MBA in B schools or IIM's.If not then do BBA in a good reputated college.

By the way if you can make me the question more clear i can provide you the Better information.

Thank you.

Hello Mannat,

Firstly, none of the companies go to any campus to hire HR personnel for sales & marketing jobs only. For that, they have the students of that vertical itself.

Okay, now coming to your main question - In terms of placement and the number of MNCs coming for recruitment, IFIM Bangalore ranks better. Placement at SDMIMD is equally better but not for the HR domain. 

In terms of HR students ratio, any source currently studying at each of the colleges would be able to give you the exact information. 

Hope this helps.

Dear Sarthak,

Adding to Neha's comprehensive answer, you can also try this tool to decide which college is better for marketing :https://www.careers360.com/best-fit-colleges

• Additionally regarding placements: ISB has 375 registered companies that offered 1134 jobs with the median average CTC of 22 lakhs while IIM- Calcultta is partnered with more than 160 firms that offered 474 jobs and a median CTC of 20 lakhs. On the other hand, the newest IIM, IIM-Jammu has average CTC of 9.65 lakhs and is still forming patnerships with firms to recruit their students.
• 
  
• Further fee structure and flexibility: ISB has a one year management courses and a fee structure of  Rs 35,43,700, which includes a non-refundable admission fee of Rs 2,50,000. While fees for IIM-A is 21 lakhs. Hence fees is also a very important deciding factor.

So all the best Sarthak I hope you take the best decision for your career! All the best!.
