Institute of Management Technology - [IMT], Nagpur

IMT is indeed a brand name but unfortunately, the brand's credibility is applicable only to IMT Ghaziabad. The other campuses carry very little brand worth and legacy of IMT. If there is an IMT that is slightly near to comparison then it is IMT Hyderabad. The other campuses are new and lack recognition. IMT Hyderabad campus is visited by some extremely reputed local companies thereby offering better placement opportunities.

The video below compares both IMT Nagpur and IMT Hyderabad in various aspects

Some institutes that give an edge to IMT Hyderabad in Hyderabad itself are 

• ASB (Ashoka School of Business) Hyderabad,
• NMIMS
• SIBM
• Hyderabad Business School

ASB offers dual specialization and good placement at only INR 6.9 Lacs. The ROI period is only around a year.

Among the three colleges, IMT Nagpur should be your choice unless there is any specific need of yours that is being met by any of the other two colleges. IMT Nagpur started in the year 2004 and has a rich legacy in terms of the brand name of IMT Ghaziabad. 

Despite being a relatively new college you could see a few major brand names that visit the college regularly such as Dabur, Bain & Company, Barclays, and Fullerton India. The institute is known for producing great minds in the marketing domain. Now let’s see some numbers to see if the reasoning is sound. Please note that the data may seem at odds with my first statement but average salary doesn't necessarily define the whole story. The batch size of We School is huge which makes Nagpur a better option for you.

Among these options, IMT Ghaziabad DCP is the best. Although expensive, this course offers better career prospects. Compared to Nagpur and Hyderabad campuses, IMTG is recognized in the industry. The dual country program offers exposure on an international level. 

IMT Ghaziabad placements in 2022 witnessed an average CTC of INR 15.28 LPA. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 62 LPA. 

If you're looking for brand value, IMT Group has a better brand value than BIMTECH. With that, IMT Nagpur has top-notch faculty members. They are well-educated and have years of practical expertise. IMT Nagpur Average package 2023 was 10.81 LPA with a 100% placement which is good enough.

IMT Ghaziabad is better than IMT Nagpur. These two don’t belong in the same tier. IMT G is counted among the top B-Schools in the country. It was ranked 5th for MBA by India Today 2021. It is the flagship brand of IMT. 

IMT G has maintained an amazing placement record over the years. The average and highest CTC offered to students during IMT Ghaziabad placements 2022 were respectively INR 15.28 LPA and INR 62 LPA. 

Honestly speaking all the B Schools you mentioned are just glamorous brand names with no real value. The placement scenario is very pathetic here as the companies that visit are looking for students who can work at fewer salaries. Only the extremely meritorious students get good packages and that too is rare.

So I will suggest that if you have scored 95+ in CAT, then you are capable of more. So work hard and target a better B School next year. Remove these colleges from your list of options and attempt CAT again.

If you are not very sure about attempting CAT again then prepare yourself for a package as low as 5-6 LPA.
