Should a poor student study an MBA from private B-schools like TAPMI, KJ Somaiya, GLIM, BIM, GIM, etc.?
The decision to pursue an MBA program from a private business school will depend on your responsibilities, family background, and financial strength. Apart from these, the factor that should be the most important to a poor student should be ROI.
If you consider the average fees, the course duration, and the average package during placements, you can calculate the amount of time it will probably take to pay off your student loans. You can extend this method of evaluation to the various colleges mentioned in your question, and then pick the one with not only the best ROI, but also the least amount of time it takes for repayment.

Which college is better for an MBA, BIMTECH, or Amity?
Well, many of my friends recommend going for BIMTECH. But honestly, none of these two are great options for an MBA.
Comparison:
- At Amity you will find a beautiful campus and the management degree is better than the Engineering degree offered through it is a school of engineering in terms of academics and discipline. But in general, the management degree is quite average. You will get placement with an average package of 5–6 LPA which is below average for an MBA graduate. Yes, some 4–5 students manage to get a package of above 10 LPA.
- BIMTECH has a better placement record, comparably. On average, you can expect to receive an average package of around 6–8 lakhs per annum. If you are lucky enough and have a good academic record, you can bag placement packages of around 9–10 LPA.
- Talking about the overall exposure, Both Amity and BIMTECH have Good exposure, not as good as IIMs/XLRI or NMIMS/SP-Jain. You will find both of them have a good corporate connect where you get to attend a lot of conferences and workshops. Both colleges help you to find summer placements although, most of these placements don’t have much substance.

If you have no other better option and you don’t want to repeat another year to prepare for CAT, only then go to these colleges.
Otherwise, Consider repeating another year and Aim for colleges like NMIMS (Mumbai), Symbiosis Pune, or XIM Bhubneshwar. These colleges are Good and the placements lie between 10–15 LPA, which is decent enough. You can even get into new IIMs with a bit of effort, if not the old ones.
What are the chances of getting into XLRI/SPJIMR if I have 1.5 years of work experience that's not relevant to the MBA specialisation?
In XLRI or SPJIMR, having relevant work experience is not a requirement for admission. Having 1.5 years of experience in a different field will not give you an advantage or disadvantage during placements as candidates with less than 2 years of experience are considered the same as freshers. Moreover, any work experience is valuable and can contribute to your MBA education as it's not limited to specific areas such as Marketing or Finance.
In SPJIMR, if you opt for Finance as your specialization, relevant experience may slightly enhance your profile. However, for other specializations, you will have to compete with other candidates on an equal footing.
