ITM Navi Mumbai is definitely a better option than ISB&M Nande campus because from what I have heard the latter is in shackles and its quality of education is also deteriorating. One of my friends completed her PGDM from there and claims the institute ruined his career terribly.
The first year was normal and then suddenly in the second year, they shifted the campus to Mulshi (near Mulshi Dam). This shift brought many issues related to infrastructure. Moreover, the faculties showed no interest in coming all the way to Mulshi as it is pretty far from the city so the students were taught by poorly qualified professors. The food served in the mess was highly unhygienic and many students fell victim to this falling seriously ill.
I will seriously advise you not to join this institute even if it’s your last choice.
ITM at Navi Mumbai has consistently been ranked in top 25 B-Schools across India for post-graduate diploma in management. Few salient features about this course are:

Course Curriculum:
The course curriculum focuses on professional development along with gaining life skills leading to holistic development of the student. Spending scores of hours on live projects under the guidance of industry experts and highly esteemed and distinguished faculties enhances their all-round capabilities. The ROI is relatively high, making it one of the best choices to pursue PGDM. The 24*7 high speed Wi-Fi campus, well-furnished hostel facilities and accessibility of location is an added bonus.
The level of difficulty depends on the individual's profile and performance. ITM Navi Mumbai has a selection procedure like any other Institute and shortlists students based on CAT and MAT scores.
Other criteria taken into consideration are your academics. For this, SSC, HSC, and graduation scores are considered. The institute prefers students with diverse backgrounds ranging from engineers, and BCom, to experienced professionals.
If your profile has the perfect blend of all the above criteria, you will be summoned for an interview. These interviews are conducted by faculties who are PHD doctorates and it’s your performance that determines your chances of admission. You will have to appear for a written exam before the interview. So the interview begins with a discussion of the write-up followed by other discussions. Recently GD also has been added as one of the selection processes.
Lastly, the selected candidates list is released and students are allotted campuses based on their performance.
If you’re only concerned about the ROI, IBS Mumbai could your best bet since it is leading the table.But I believe there is more than one way to assess a B-School so we’ll also compare the campus lives and see if it changes anything. So, IBS Mumbai and Kolkata both came into existence in the year 1995 and have a beautiful campus although it’s not as huge as the Hyderabad campus, you’ll get the corporate feel here.
All three colleges have a vibrant culture where you get to be part of some club or committee and get to explore.
