If we are simply comparing the colleges on the basis of ROI, JMI would be your best bet since it gets you a job with an average pay of 5 lacs with a mere fee of nearly 50000. But if you want to get a proper campus exposure you could think of going to Doon Business School. Doon charges nearly 5c lacs for the entire period of two years and has an average package of 6v lacs. You also need to emphasize the factors that are important to you. JMI is a central university and has a very rich legacy but Chandigarsh University on the other hand is quite popular for its pedagogy and professors. My personal choice would be to go for JMI because of the enticing ROI and small batch size.
All three of these are good for pursuing a distance MBA. However, IGNOU examination centers are more in number compared to NMIMS and Symbiosis. You can attend contact classes and get guidance regarding studies easily at a convenient place near you. IGNOU offers multiple specializations. The course fees are affordable. It offers good learning resources as well. Every study center of IGNOU has its own library.
IGNOU Distance MBA is better because of the facilities are resources offered.
FMS BHU gives an edge to IIM Sirmaur in almost every aspect. The fact that it is a baby IIM yet to establish its position in the industry is the main drawback of IIM Sirmaur. Even its IIM tag lacks credibility and worth because of its weak alumni base and below average placements. However, if you are specifically choosing IIM for the course and not the tag, then you might go for it.
FMS BHU is one of the leading B Schools technically due to its early establishment. It has an upper hand in the following aspects when compared to IIM Sirmaur

Management quota seats are seats at colleges in India that are set aside for members of the management, trust, clergy, and VIPs. According to the institution, there are between 5 and 10% of seats available. The college and trust have complete discretion over who gets to sit in these seats. The existence of management quota seats in institutes like IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi, and MDI Gurgaon is not well known. For students who are unable to get admission on their own through the entrance tests, this opportunity is available. The fees for these seats are not disclosed by the institutes on any platform. For admission to the management quota seat, you have to contact these colleges at the phone numbers provided on their websites. You first have to check your eligibility and then have to pay a huge amount.
According to my friends studying at XIMB RM, the college is not called XIMB RM anymore. The last batch to pass from the college with this college name was the 2015-2017 batch. It has been renamed to Xavier School of Rural Management (XSRM) under the umbrella of Xavier University, Bhubaneshwar.
Categories | XSRM |
Course Fee | 13.8 lakh |
Highest CTC | 13.2 - 17 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-9 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Amul, Godrej Agrovet Limited, ITC Limited, Mapro Foods, ADM Agro Industries, Tolaram Group, etc. |
As far as XISS Finance is concerned, you should get in touch with a postgraduate student from that college to get to know more about it. As of now, I would suggest you go for XSRM.
My order of preference will be IIT Roorkee> IIM Sirmaur> XIMB Bhubaneswar> SIOM Nashik. When considering which institution to choose for an MBA, several factors should be taken into account.
Here are some points to consider regarding IIM Sirmaur, IIT Roorkee, SIOM Nashik and XIMB Bhubaneswar:

Average Package | 14.45 | 18.34 | 14.35 | 16.64 |
Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, Accenture, Cognizant, Schneider Electric, Hero Motors etc. | IDBI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IBM, BHEL etc. | Arrow Textiles Limited, Delta Finochem, Atlas Copco India Limited etc. | PwC, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Coca-Cola, L'Oreal, Nestle, Tata Steel, Amazon etc. |
Even though IIMs have a strong reputation in India for their management courses, IIM Sirmaur is quite new. It will take time to establish its brand name. SIOM is an older management institute but it is private, as opposed to IIM Sirmaur and IIT Roorkee. XIMB is a good institute, but its fees are high as compared to others.
I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee for an MBA because of its affordable fees, top class infrastructure, and a well established brand name.

Among the drawbacks of an MBA at IIM-K are:
It is important to note that the advantages and disadvantages are based on common perceptions and may change depending on the individual's experiences.
Both IMT Ghaziabad and GIM Goa are highly reputable institutes for post-graduation in marketing. Both institutes have a strong track record of producing high-quality graduates who are well-equipped to excel in the marketing field. However, when considering which program to pursue, there are several factors to take into account such as the quality of students passing out of these colleges, placement opportunities and profiles that interest you, and your academic scores.
It is recommended to research and speak with students from both institutes, as well as professionals in the field, to gain a better understanding of the curriculum, faculty, and alumni network of each institute. Additionally, if you have poor academic scores, it might be a good idea to consider a program with fewer students, to increase your chances of success. Furthermore, if you have more work experience, it would be a good idea to look into IMT Ghaziabad as it offers various opportunities for students with more experience.
IMT Ghaziabad is considered to be a tier above GIM Goa in terms of ranking, brand perception, placements, and opportunities. It is ranked in the same tier as the new IIMs, SIBM, NMIMS, XIMB, SCMHRD, and MICA. Additionally, IMT Ghaziabad is known for having a strong focus on marketing as its forte. On the other hand, GIM Goa falls in the category of institutes such as KJ, Fore, BIM, etc. It is important to do your research well and make an informed decision based on your career aspirations and goals.
IBS Hyderabad is a tier 2 college that offers MBA programs in Finance, Marketing, Operations, and Human Resources.
MBA program is relatively difficult, with the first year being slightly more difficult. The first year is rigorous, with 9 topics in Sem 1 and 8 subjects in Sem 2. Marketing management, Economics, HR, OB, and Accounting Management are among the topics covered.
Case studies are used extensively in the classes. The subjects are the same for everyone in the first year and then differ depending on the specialism in the second.
There is a mix of experienced and novice teachers on the faculty. You will be fortunate if Mr. Shailendra Bisht (one of the greatest faculty members) teaches you marketing.
The application cost for the 2019-2021 batch is 14 lakhs, with an average package of 5.5-6 lakhs (+- 10%).
So, it would take a person around two and a half years to recoup their investment, and keep in mind that I am not accounting for the opportunity cost of the two years spent in the MBA program.
