Is NMIMS Bangalore or MDI Murshidabad better for Marketing PGDM?
No way MDI Murshidabad is better than NMIMS, although the Murshidabad campus is a subsidiary of MDI Gurgaon campus, NMIMS is better for marketing courses.
The median salary for NMIMS is more than MDI Murshidabad, the batch intake of NMIMS is also more than MDI, and NMIMS has better faculties than MDI. The campus and cultural life of NMIMS is better as it is a well-established institute, so you could opt for NM.
After an MBA from a 2 or 3 tier college, like NMIMS Bangalore or GLIM Chennai, what kind of profile and salary can I expect? Can I get a mid-level management position right after graduating?
It varies depending on the individual's skills, experience, and the reputation of the college they have graduated from. The perception of a college can differ from one company to another. For example, Amazon might consider GLIM Chennai as a tier 1 college while Deloitte might consider it tier 2. The reputation of a college is subjective and depends on the perspective of the employer.
Regarding job roles, there are many possibilities after completing an MBA. If you are looking for mid-level management roles, it depends on what type of management you are seeking. If you are looking for people management or just a seat at the table, then any college can provide this opportunity, provided the companies that visit the college for placement match your expectations.
However, strategic business decision-making roles are rare. No employer would hire someone without experience, regardless of academic tier. A strong track record can lead to these roles. Depending on talents, experience, and the college's reputation, an MBA from a 2 or 3 tier college can open up many professional prospects, including mid-level management roles.

How is NMIMS Bangalore for Executive MBA?
The executive MBA programme at NMIMS Bangalore is not that good as it is in Tier 1 universities/institutes. Generally when one decides to pursue an executive MBA, he/she will already have three to four years of work experience.
NMIMS Bangalore won't give you the kind of advancement you would want after earning your degree. You should either apply for an executive MBA at IIM A, B, C, or L, or you should enroll in ISB Hyderabad, a 1-year programme.
Without a doubt, NMIMS Bangalore will be good in terms of learning and experience, however the 2 year MBA programme weighs more heavily than the executive MBA in terms of placements.
Is NMIMS's PGDM better in Bangalore or Hyderabad?
For a PGDM, your preference order for the NMIMS campus should be NMIMS Mumbai>NMIMS Bangalore>NMIMS Hyderabad. The Bangalore campus is best after the Mumbai campus, due to its locational advantages. You will get good job options, as it is the IT hub of the country. The Bangalore campus is also older than the Hyderabad campus.
