Which MBA college is better, specifically for MBA-HR, Narsee Monjee (NMIMS) Mumbai or XIMB, Bhuvaneshwar?
You should definitely choose NMIMS Mumbai. A number of people would be of the opinion that XIMB HR is good but the change in the brand name from XIMB HR to XaHR has adversely affected the placements and compared to this, NMIMS Mumbai HR is growing extremely well in the case of placements.
You can compare the two colleges on the following points:
- Location: Mumbai is the best city to do your MBA from. The city has a lot to offer in terms of growth in life and you will not be able to learn like this in a place like Bhuvaneshwar. You will also have better live project opportunities, a good corporate interface and this is where NMIMS trumps XIMB.
- Batch size: NMIMS has a smaller batch size of 60 students as compared to the 120 student batch that XIMB has. NMIMS takes students on the basis of merit whereas XIMB has a few reservations as well.
- CTC: XIMB may have lower CTC due to higher batch size and NMIMS has a better average.
A lot of the current XIMB HR students will advise you to not go for XIMB HR. It does have lower fees but NMIMS has many more advantages that offset this parameter. Overall, NMIMS has many better profiles to offer as compared to XIMB.
If you are stuck in this dilemma, you should surely go ahead and opt for HR at NMIMS Mumbai.
Which one to choose? XIMB vs Sydenham vs IMT Ghaziabad?
XIMB is a better brand among these colleges. It also offers a better average CTC to the students. As per the 2021 placement report, XIMB average package is INR 15.51 LPA.
IMT Ghaziabad is also a reputed B-School and ranks among the top 15 in the country. The average CTC for IMT G is INR 12.4 LPA. If you are interested in a marketing specialization, IMT can be a great option. One of the disadvantages of IMT is its huge batch size of almost around 700.
Sydenham offers a good ROI. As you can complete an MBA within 5 lakhs and the average CTC offered to students is around INR 10 LPA. But it’s difficult to get Sydenham, as the number of seats is limited for students without a Maharashtra domicile.
Between XIMB and IMT, you can choose the former due to the lower batch strength and better average CTC.
Is XIMB HR good for a fresher? How are the placements at XIMB HR? I have a score of 214 in NMAT. What are my chances of getting admission in XIMB HR?
The Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB) is a great option for those considering an MBA program. You will be presented with a wealth of opportunities to learn and grow as a professional. To be considered for admission, you will need to have scored at least 214 on the NMAT, but keep in mind that there are also sectional cutoffs to be aware of. The MBA Placement 2022 season for XIMB's 34th MBA batch, which consisted of 355 students, was a success with 100% placement.
Additionally, the average salary for MBA graduates from XIMB has risen from Rs.15.15 LPA in 2021 to Rs.17.54 LPA in 2022, a 16% increase. Consulting was the top recruiting sector, with 41% of offers, and top recruiters included Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte, EY, and ICICI.
What should be preferred among IMI Delhi PGDMHR and XIMB MBA- HR?
XIMB-HR and XAHR are both one and the same. The former has been renamed to the latter. XAHR ranks above IMI New Delhi in HR. Not because of the placement prospectus but because of the faculties. Most of the faculties are from have great industry experience.
The course is as per the global standards of SHRM. They provides 100% placement in both finals and summers.

Which college should I choose between XIMB and IIM Nagpur?
You might want to consider XIMB for your MBA studies because they have a stronger brand presence and a larger alumni network compared to IIMN. While IIMN is a newer institute and has seen rapid growth in recent years, it is still considered a tier 2 college in the business school market, whereas tier 1 status is reserved for the top 15 colleges. While the quality of students at both XIMB and IIMN may be similar, with a slight difference in percentile scores, both colleges have a lower representation of students from top undergraduate institutions such as IITs, NITs, and DU.
XIMB has also established strong international relations with schools such as KEDGE and WARSAW Economics, which can be a valuable resource for students. While the return on investment for an MBA from XIMB may be lower compared to other schools, it is important to remember that an MBA is an investment in your future career. Additionally, XIMB has a strong faculty with a pool of experienced professors and also has to visit faculty from XLRI, which is part of the same Jesuit trust. Overall, it is important to choose wisely and consider all factors when deciding on an MBA program.
