This would certainly not be easy for a non-engineer fresher to get management consulting roles in firms such as Accenture, McKinsey, Deloitte, EY, Capgemini etc.

• Most of the above companies provide IT consulting, operations consulting, risk consulting, etc. at these institutes. You may expect these profiles. 
• However, if you are looking for strategic consulting, then these roles are offered at only top B-schools such as IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, XLRI, FMS, SPJIMR Mumbai, etc. Do not expect them to be offered at the listed institutes here.

Even if some companies do offer such roles, they care about your academics in your MBA, your work experience, your personality, and your background. They want to know if you are an engineer or not, they also want to know if you know about IT or not. There are various rounds of interviews lined up to test your skills and abilities.

So, yes there will be scope especially in IT consulting roles from these institutes. All you have to do is give your best efforts and leave the rest on the companies to decide what kind of professional they want.

In terms of converting XIMB Bhubaneswar or any B-school for that matter, it is the same. If someone has cracked it in his/her first attempt, then cracking XIMB would be easier. If someone has gone through the entire selection process multiple times without success, then it would be a herculean task.

• The first thing that is in your control is your score in CAT or XAT. Try to score as much as possible to bolster your application. 
• The next step would be handling your interviews. 
• Practice writing and give your best possible shot at the WAT. 
• Present your best of abilities to the interview panel with a calm demeanor. 
• Do not overburden yourself with cracking the interview and be as open to them as possible.
• Some basic knowledge in your domain of expertise (undergraduate major) is a must. 
• You should know all the projects you have done in your academic as well as professional life thoroughly. 
• Some basic knowledge about the world of business, the state of Odisha (XIMB’s home state) as well as your own home state is a plus.
• Remain updated about recent news and happenings around the world, as questions related to them will be asked very often.

These are certain tips for personal interview (PI) preparation that may or may not work for everybody. Ultimately, converting XIMB Bhubaneswar is in your hands and how well you put yourself.

If you compare the two institutes purely based on brand value, location, batch strength, etc. then it is clear that NMIMS Mumbai is the better institute. XIMB Bhubaneswar was a much better institute before, but it has lost its old charm now and has been clearly overtaken by NMIMS Mumbai. 

This could be due to the placements on which the students did not concentrate well enough or the institute did not change the course structure according to the market demand or simply that the location and other advantages got NMIMS to a better spot. This is not to say that XIMB Bhubaneswar is bad, in fact, it is better than many other private B-schools, but it has lost itself to NMIMS Mumbai.

Now comparing the two courses, the MBA in Business Management (MBA - BM) from XIMB Bhubaneswar is the core program of the institute with the option of pursuing specializations in operations, marketing, and HR after first year. The HR program in NMIMS Mumbai grooms the students to be future HRs from day one.

As it can be seen, XIMB BM does provide a better average CTC to its students than the NMIMS HR. But the difference is negligible and considering the brand reputation, location and other things such as future growth potential, NMIMS HR is a better choice of the two purely in terms of placement perspective as it is the dominant decision-maker for many students. However, if you are not interested in HR and want to go for other specializations, then XIMB BM is your only choice and is not bad either.
