When comparing XLRI Jamshedpur to the other two institutions, XLRI-Delhi and IIFT-Delhi, it is generally considered that XLRI Jamshedpur is the better option. The XLRI Delhi campus is relatively new, with its first batch starting in 2020, and the institution is working towards making it as successful as the Jamshedpur campus. However, IIFT has been able to maintain the same level of quality at its Kolkata campus as it has in Delhi and students in Kolkata have received similar placements as those in Delhi. It is hoped that the same will be true for XLRI Delhi in the future.
In terms of overall comparison, it is suggested that XLRI-Jamshedpur is better than IIFT-Delhi. However, if you are specifically comparing between XLRI-Delhi and IIFT-Delhi, it is suggested that IIFT-Delhi may be a better option. It's important to keep in mind that this order is based on personal opinion and you should conduct your own research and weigh your options before making a decision.
