One more thing boss, it seems MDI Murshidabad has higher avg package but companies visiting are of not that many segments especially in my case where I have retail banking domain and want to keep specialisation and in Christ avg package is low compared to MDI m but I am getting more brand of company from bfsi domain here

So what's your take on , from this point of view?

With CMAT score you can look for Great lakes institute of Management Chennai, Goa institute of Management, Wellingkar institute of Management, XIME Bangalore etc.
If you can tell me percentile instead of score I will be able to answer your query in a better way.

Let me tell you one thing the company list which I have posted is not the exhaustive list. There are still more companies visiting college. This is just a list to give you a fair idea and you will get lot more exposure in both the college.

And believe me the stats of average package shown are never the true statistics so higher average package is always better in all respect. Don't worry about domain and go for MDI. You will get lot of opportunities later and this is the best choice according to me for you right now.

Seeing your last 2 choices ICFAI Hyderabad is the best option for you. Only thing is you won't get international exposure which you would have got in Christ university.
Make a a wise decision. All the best!!

Guru ,Would you mind taking pain to let me have your detailed analysis for why I should prefer MDI Murshidabad over IMT Hyderabad?
Reply
31st Mar, 2018
In IMT Hyderabad the average package is 6.97 lakhs per annum and the highest package was 22.5 lakhs per annum. The average remuneration for the top 10 offers was Rs 13,12,800 and for the top 100 offers, it was Rs 7,29,313. Meanwhile, placements for 2016-18 batch has commenced with companies like Verity Knowledge Solutions, Amazon, Deloitte, HDFC Ltd, ICICI Bank, Novartis and much more visiting the campus in the 1st week. In MDI Murshidabad with a total Rs. 10.8 lakh fees according to last year placement report average salary was Rs. 8.56 lakhs per annum, the median salary was Rs. 8.52 lakhs per annum, highest salary was Rs. 11.56 lakhs per annum and minimum salary offered was Rs. 7 lakhs per annum You can clearly see the stats difference between the two colleges other than this  MDI-M is promoted by IFCI (Industrial Finance Corporation Of India) and comes under the flagship MDI brand and is getting enough support from the parent institute i.e. MDI- Gurgaon. The college follows the same pedagogy with the parent institute and several faculties come down from the Gurgaon campus on a regular basis to teach certain topics in the second campus.Various MDP programs of several PSU organizations are taking place frequently in the Murshidabad campus which eventually helps in increasing the corporate networks. MDI-M is in its nascent stage and is growing rapidly due to several ongoing developmental activities inside the campus and will soon join the leagues of the reputed institute.

Guru but whatever stats available for MDI Murshidabad is only for batch strength of 30-35 students from last three years and if you will analyze then even from taking help of MDI Gurgaon campus the companies doing recruitment is not that high brand level , n big 4 has not made entry , in Placement package also I have come to know that only icici bank provides package of 9 lpa n mostly others get between 6-8lpa and one more thing is mostly marketing profile role is offered to even finance guys, these are the information which I have got from other sources but I totally agree from your views and perspective

Should I attend Wellingkar and N L Damia gd/pi , process or prefer MDI Murshidabad over these?
Reply

See if you want to come over stats and look for a more established college then ISB Hyderabad will be a little better option than MDI Murshidabad. Plus if you have an option for Welingkar and N L Dalmia you can look forward to their procedure but again even their stats would seem to be nice but in case of Welingkar only around 60-70% of the batch gets placed. You can try for N L Dalmia as you want to go for finance as it is a little good for the finance sector. But still, I will say you should go for ISB Hyderabad or MDI Murshidabad over these 2 colleges. I don't know about your research but total available seats in MDI Murshidabad are 120. But I am not sure whether every seat is getting occupied or not. Mostly it should be. If you have so much doubt about the future or brand name of MDI Murshidabad or you think that stats could be inflated then I will say you can take ISB Hyderabad because it has a much more reliable brand. But whatever you take the final decision make sure you are content and in any way you don't regret it later.

First of all congratulations for the options that you have received.

I will mention the details in brief about each institute whose information you have seeked for.

Christ University: with companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc. Visiting the campus to recruit students, the university is known to place 90% of the students . Highest package of the past year was INR 14 lpa and average was around INR 6.5 lpa. Located in the silicon city of India, this university provides quality education and gives good exposure to the students.

For more details about this university, you can check their website. The link is as follows :

https://christuniversity.in/institute-of-management/institute-of-management-mba/specialmenus/placements

Symbiosis School of Banking and Finance: Top recruiters include Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, J P Morgan Chase, etc.

This happens to be quite a niche Institute as it provides a specific course to the students in the field of banking and finance. Highest salary reported as of now is INR 9 lpa and average package happens to be somewhere around INR 7.14 lpa. The institute claims to provide 100% placement to the eligible students however sources have said that those eligible students comprise only 55-60% of the total student strength.

IPE Hyderabad : companies like Federal Bank, Delloite, Amazon have known to be recruiting students from the campus. Their average package is around 5.28 lakhs and highest being 9.3 lpa. Talking about quality, the curriculum isn't so diverse however 95% is the placement percentage and good marketing companies are known to visit the campus.

MDI Murshidabad: this institute is still in its nascent stage but is growing rapidly and will soon  emerge as  a tier-1 B-school. Its average placement is 8.56 lpa. Its curriculum is however, at par or close to what is being taught at MDI Gurgaon.

Looking into several factors like academic domains offered, pedagogy followed, external exposure, placements, ROI, learning environment, growth opportunities and comments from the existing students studying there, I believe Christ University is a good option.

But remember one thing, where ever you go, it's you and only you who have to mould yourself into a better individual, the institute is just a platform that will facilitate.

So, take a wise choice. All the best!!

Thank you for your suggestions, so according to you my choice should be Christ main campus ,right? But you know my 2nd mind is like what if MDI Murshidabad will become tier 2 college with avg placement around 12-14 lakhs in 2020, what's your view on this? What if (MDI M) they will allow to take participation in MDI Gurgaon placement in 2020 , then I would have lost brand tag and also highest salary package offer

Actually problem is we don't know how MDI Murshidabad will be in next 2 yrs but at present it looks it is nascent stage but then at present also it's avg placement all people saying are 8.5 lakhs which is higher than Christ avg package offered but the thing is Christ is old and established and is in Bangalore so at present it seems wiseble to join Christ

What's your take on this from this perspective?
