Nearbuy recruits at 7 MBA programmes nationwide. They hire product and project managers from Tier - 1 schools, and sales, marketing, and operations managers from other colleges. They recruit from over twenty business schools in total nationwide despite visiting only seven. But those students apply for the jobs off-campus and may have to interview in the company's offices if they are chosen.
Having friends in both FORE and LBSIM, I can say that they are the top MBA institutes in Delhi that have big-brand value.
FORE School of Management
Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management
In both institutes, the SIP Placement scenario is similar. For selecting the students, companies follow the steps: Resume-Shortlisting, Group Discussion, and Personal Interview.
Apart from the above, a few companies may also ask to write an online test. The students can also get PPO/PPI from some of the listed companies.
With the average package TAPMI, Great Lakes, and FORE have, you will be able to repay the loan that you’ll take for your studies in a passable manner as there are tax benefits that you get if you have an educational loan with that the repo rate is also not that high and banks don’t ask for a collateral amount if you’re in a reputed college.
TAPMI, FORE, and IMT-DCP are some of the top institutes IN India offering PGDM (MBA) courses. All the above-mentioned institutes have their own perks. TAPMI is the better choice for Finance specialization. FORE has a location-wise benefit as it is located near the capital and industrial hub. Whereas, IMT-DCP offers international exposure. In general, TAPMI and FORE have better ROI, brand value, location, and placement as compared to IMT Ghaziabad.
Given below is the comparison of these colleges for pursuing an MBA.

FORE School of Management is definitely the better choice than IBS Hyderabad. It is better in almost all aspects when compared to IBS Hyderabad. The table below has drawn a slight comparison on the basis of some basic factors

From the above table we can infer the following points
An additional feature of FORE that sets it further apart from IBS Hyderabad is its International Immersion Program. This program offers the kind of exposure you cannot even get at a reputed B School like IBS. You get exposed to the Global corporate world and the best part is that its fees are included in the course fees. So considering all the points mentioned above I conclude that FORE is a far better choice than IBS Hyderabad for MBA.
The most frequent and highest-paying position available to recent B-School graduates is in banking sales. This primarily pertains to a relationship manager's resume.
I feel for Finance, TAPMI would be a much better option because it is good for finances in the Tier 2 league.
But if you wish to explore other fields, such as marketing, operations, or analytics, or if you are not entirely sure of your profession, choose the Fore Delhi PGDM.
Without a doubt, Fore is a top university, and your geographic location gives you an advantage. Additionally, placements this year have been excellent for all tier institutions.
Top B Schools like LBSIM/FORE are incomparable to the new IIMs. They have been established for decades and the new IIMs cannot be included in them at least in the near future. Although some might say that some new IIMs are under the mentorship of old IIMs like Lucknow, they haven’t made the mark yet. Whereas the already leading B Schools LMSIM and FORE are on the verge of making it to the top. Even the IIM tag is of little value here.
Let me explain this through an example. You go to buy an electronic device and purchase a branded device. Yet the model is a very old one. It is of little value despite being branded. Same is the case here. The new IIMs do give you the IIM tag but it is of little worth.
For its 2020-22 batch, FORE School of Management has completed 100% placement as early as January 2022. FORE has a higher average salary of Rs.14.04 lakhs per annum and the highest international salary of Rs.41 lakhs per annum, while the highest domestic salary is Rs.23.5 lakhs per annum. The highest package at IIM Jammu, on the other hand, is INR 32 LPA, while the average and median packages are INR 13.53 LPA and INR 11.4 LPA, respectively.
FORE is ranked 60th in the management category in the NIRF listing 2022, while IIM Jammu is ranked 36th.

Based on the CTC offered, FORE Delhi is better. The top recruiters are from Capgemini, EY, Infosys, etc. New recruiters are also visiting the campus every year to get the young professionals that FORE Delhi is offering.
Even FORE has Gurgaon in its neighborhood and it is the IT Hub of North where the students get more exposure to a professional environment.
