The way I look at and assess a part-time MBA is different from how I look at and assess a full-time one.
So, I’ll probably look at a few things
The primary focus should be to enjoy the learning experience and knowing your goals and how it is transacted is very important and must not be compromised.
IMT Ghaziabad is in a different league as of now. Though TAPMI is improving, It's still behind IMT G. In this scenario, the institute matters, not your specialization.
In my limited experience working in the sector and with recruiters, IMT has a better reputation than TAPMI. In many organizations, IMT is a better B-school than TAPMI. It's about image. As your career progresses, that is more significant than campus placements.
IMT is relaxed and requires self-motivation. You have every chance-use it. IMT has a great faculty, so you should be fine.

Undoubtedly, IMT G is a better option than TAPMI.
The first year is extremely challenging because you will be studying subjects that you have never studied before. Accounting would be required for an engineering graduate, and statistics would be required for a commerce graduate. This, along with other activities, constant submissions, and class tests, makes the first year academically demanding.
In the second year, students have the option of selecting their own subjects, so they can take courses that are less rigorous academically than others. There is an exchange term in the second year as well, and for students who choose to participate in an exchange program, this is the least academically demanding term of the entire program.
Although all the courses offered at KJ Somaiya are equally good, its Marketing discipline is the most coveted one. Also there is no partiality during placement of students of various disciplines. Every student is allowed to sit for PPT and then for final interviews after selection.KJ Somaiya conducts a transparent and unbiased placement drive. Students from Finance, Marketing, Operations and HR get segregated during the initial selection process.
A number of companies visit the campus for placements. The placement committee makes sure that every year new companies also line up in addition to the many companies that visit every year. So I don’t think placements should be a concern for anyone getting into KJ Somaiya.
As a working professional, PUMBA Executive MBA will add more value to your future career and aspirations. Additionally, the opportunities you’ll get at PUMBA are far better than Bharati Vidyapeeth.
MBA in marketing is a more popular prospect than in finance. An MBA in marketing opens up a wide range of highly valued career options for a fresh graduate. For positions such as marketing manager or executive, the typical compensation paid to MBA marketing graduates is INR 9,03,076. Even they offer CTCs as high as INR 27 LPA.
Students are taught cutting-edge ideas including social media, brand management, digital advertising, and more. As a result, MBA Marketing, together with its fresh perspective, aids in creating a successful career filled with cutting-edge methods and ideas.
IIM Ahmedabad has a strong faculty base. There would be the chance to pursue this course under eminent professors like Arindam Banerjee, Sourav Borah, and many more. Even Ajay Banga, Chetan Bhagat, Harsha Bhogle, etc. are notable alumni of this institution.

IIM Lucknow is one of the older IIMs and therefore has a stronger alumni base. IIMs mostly specialize in Core Management and Investment Banking. So before you consider taking Sustainable Management look up at the figures and campus records.
Sustainable Management is only beneficial if at the end of the program you have formed professional colleagues or have come up with a business idea.
Currently, Sustainable Development lacks the demand and credibility enjoyed by other domains. So it’s a risky choice and should be considered only if you are serious about it or don’t have any other options.
