Ques. For MBA in HR, should one choose NMIMS Mumbai or XIMB?

● Top Answer By Samriddhi Sarkar on 28 May 21

Ans. Having friends in both institutions, I suggest you to go NMIMS Mumbai. XIMB HR has recently switched their name from XIMB to XaHR. This cost them a lot in terms of placements. All of the companies, instead of reaching out to XIMB are showing up at NMIMS Mumbai boosting their demand day by day.  If I were to compare both the colleges based on certain parameters, I would say: Batch: The batch size at NMIMS is 60 which are admitted on grounds of strict merit. On the other hand, XIMB takes in candidates on reservation grounds.  Location: If you have decided to reach Mumbai for your MBA, no doubt that it is indeed the best place. NMIMS provides better corporate interface and project opportunities.  Placements -  Categories MBA HR at NMIMS Mumbai MBA HR at XIMB Course Fee  20.84 lakh 18.50 lakh Course Duration 2 years 2 years Highest CTC 22 LPA 28 LPA Average CTC  15 LPA 12 LPA Recruiting Companies KPMG, EY, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, etc. Nestle, Berger, HSBC, American Express, etc. Some of my friends who were on the wait-list of XIMB decided to switch to NMIMS eventually. And some of them withdrew their names from the wait-list just to reach other colleges (these were in the lower-tier) but not XIMB. Even the students who are already studying at XIMB advise others to not reach there.Read more
