The simple answer is that the choice of the course depends more or your overall profile than the course itself. Irresponsible of your specialization your chances at placements will be low if your resume is below average. Moreover, institutes like IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow offer joint placements for both programs. 

Students can apply to any company irrespective of their specialization. Yet there are many who are able to get into their dream companies while some failed to get a call from a reputed firm. This is because the PGP program just added value to your resume and if that is already poor then even PGP cannot guarantee you a high-paying job.

So if you already have a good resume all you need to do is improve your resume in marketing and operations. This can be done through extra-curricular activities and B-school competitions. For this the PGP-ABM program is perfect.

But if you have a below-average resume, then go for PGP. Because then extracurricular activities alone will not improve your resume. You need class projects and good academic scores to upgrade it. Unlike PGP-ABM, you won’t miss out on basic electives related to marketing/ops/finance.

So nothing is certain about an MBA program. One needs to know what he will be doing after acquiring knowledge to decide which course to take. I will personally suggest you go for IIM Lucknow PGP-ABM if you just want to improve your resume.

I would say that you should definitely choose XIMB.

It's their primary program, and it will be much better than IMT G's DCP program. Just because of cost. The DCP program has fees that are over 22 lakhs and an average package of around 9 lakhs per annum. In contrast, the XIMB BM program has an average package of 13 lakhs per annum and fees of 15.40 lakhs for two years. Also, keep in mind that the DCP program is still new, so there won't be much support from the business. 

I would have considered IMT G if it was a full-time program. If you can move up to IMT Ghaziabad and want to get an MBA with a focus on marketing and entrepreneurship courses, you should choose IMT Ghaziabad. But the DCP course fee isn't worth it for the same opportunity unless you want to work abroad, especially in Dubai.

XLRI has a strong reputation for Human Resource (HR) management and Industrial Relations (IR) studies. If an individual is specifically interested in HR/IR, then XLRI would be a better option compared to NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies). However, if you are looking for a general management program, then NMIMS would be a better choice because of its excellent peer group and rigorous curriculum. 

XLRI is still a good institute for other streams, but it is more specialized in HR and IR. Similarly, NMIMS is known for its general management program, and it may not have the same level of expertise as XLRI in HR/IR.

If you are considering pursuing a career in management, the Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM) offered by MDI Murshidabad might be a great option for you. Upon successful completion of the program requirements, you will be awarded a PGDM, which has the approval of the All India Council for Technical Education, Government of India.

The curriculum of this program is designed to enrich your skills and abilities, helping you apply management theories and concepts to real-life problems existing in business and industry. Through hands-on learning experiences, you will be able to identify and diagnose complex problems in management. The program includes a wide range of pedagogical approaches, such as lectures, case studies, seminars, assignments, live projects, group discussions, business games, outbound-based experiential learning activities, educational excursions, role plays, simulation exercises, structured and unstructured group work, and field visits. 

Moreover, the program integrates state-of-the-art technology, including the use of computers (IT) in the learning process. This helps you to develop digital skills that are essential in today’s fast-paced business environment. You will also undertake several field-based projects to gain better insights into real-life situations. This will help you to develop a deeper understanding of the issues facing businesses and industries today.

One of the key advantages of studying at MDI Murshidabad is the opportunity to learn from the faculty members of MDI Gurgaon, one of India’s premier business schools. This will enable you to learn from some of the best minds in the field and gain a broader perspective on management.

In summary, MDI Murshidabad’s PGPM is a comprehensive programme designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the field of management. The hands-on learning experiences, state-of-the-art technology, and opportunities to learn from top faculty members make it a great choice for anyone seeking a career in management.

Both programs have their own advantages and disadvantages so the answer would largely depend on what you want from your MBA. The DCP program of IMT Ghaziabad is a very unique course where students get to study at a partner (foreign) B-School and have a compulsory international immersion program. In terms of placements opportunity, I don’t believe they are doing anything exceptional as regards to the fee they are charging for this partcilaur course but if you want to explore universities abroad you could definitely join IMT for their DCP program. 

Their flagship PGDM program is a 2 years full-time residential program where you will have to choose your elective at the start of your second year and you’ll also be given a chance to fill out the application for the student exchange program. PGDM should be your obvious choice if you’re given both option and you’re not adamant about living in Dubai.
