NIRF has ranked ABV-IIITM Gwalior at 76 among the management institutes of India in 2020. The institute offers AICTE accredited MBA courses in various specializations.
Specializations
The institute offers general MBA with 3 specializations, i.e. Human Resources, Marketing, and Finance as well as MBAs in Public Service Management and Information Technology Enabled Services Management.
Course Fee and Admission Details
The first-year course fee for MBA is 1.79 lakhs. Students are shortlisted for admission based on their CAT score which is followed by a personal interview and group discussion conducted by the college. The CAT cutoff required is around 50%. Also, a minimum of 50% is needed in graduation to apply for an MBA.
Placements
The placement highlights of 2019 reveal the average CTC offered was around 5-6 LPA and the highest CTC was 16 LPA. Top recruiters at the institute are Axis Bank, Flipkart, Google, Infosys, IBM, etc.
Honestly speaking all the B Schools you mentioned are just glamorous brand names with no real value. The placement scenario is very pathetic here as the companies that visit are looking for students who can work at fewer salaries. Only the extremely meritorious students get good packages and that too is rare.
So I will suggest that if you have scored 95+ in CAT, then you are capable of more. So work hard and target a better B School next year. Remove these colleges from your list of options and attempt CAT again.
If you are not very sure about attempting CAT again then prepare yourself for a package as low as 5-6 LPA.
One of my cousins completed her MBA from M.S Ramaiah only recently and can put his opinions in a better way.

Course Offerings:
Speaking in terms of education, MSRIT offers dual specialization in both Marketing in Human Resources and Marketing in Finance, out of which Marketing is the compulsory elective.
Placement Reports:
However, with regard to placements, it is not up to the mark since it is an autonomous institute. It is due to the fact that MSRIT is primarily known for B.Tech and the placement of it is usually top tier, unlike its MBA program. Here are the placement highlights of M.S Ramaiah (MSRIM) of recent years.

Someone I know who is an alumnus of SCMHRD has said that finding out which college is better will bear little to no fruits.
You can get in touch with the professionals from both programs and try to understand what you will have to do in order to make a name for yourself. An internal analysis is involved after which it is gauged what field would be the most suitable for you.
NMIMS is popular for producing marketing professionals. Finance is also popular in the institute. Analytics is not the flagship course of SCMHRD. They are very different courses and your temperament and aptitude are also contributing factors.
