Shall I go for PGDBM from NMIMS, or shall I go for PGCBM from XLRI, Jamshedpur? Please feel free to advice any other course, apart from these two related to EMBA. I have 5 plus years of experience.
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.

For an MBA HR, should we choose IIM Ranchi (PGDMHRM) or SCMHRD?
To answer your question in better terms I will rate the colleges based on parameters such as placements, curriculum, and alumni base.
- TISS / XLRI - TISS has an advantage owing to its smaller batch and location in a metro (Mumbai). XLRI excels in the Alumni network and the variety of roles offered. In addition, the option of getting a Non-HR profile after an MBA has increased its ranking considerably.
- MDI Gurgaon - After this, MDI Gurgaon bags the position because of its location and strong alumni base.
- SCMHRD - It is a decent college but the quality of the crowd is substandard when compared to IIMs.
- Newer IIMs like Ranchi
- IMI & other colleges
How good is IIM Ranchi PGHRM?
Compared to the older IIMs it is not very good but compared to the newer IIMs it is way better. Its USP is its location in an Industrially rich belt that increases your chances of having an excellent career in Management.
Now if we compare it to the other B Schools, it ranks lower than FMS, XLRI, SP Jain, MDI and JBIMS but higher than IMT, IMI, Fore, XU, GIM, etc. It is better than these B Schools because of the IIM brand.
This program is best for people who want to enter the field of teaching and academics.
How is PGDM from IMS Noida?
According to the general opinion, IMS Ghaziabad is better than IMS Noida. This opinion seems to be right as IMS Noida has a very poor placement scenario with many unplaced students. I will suggest you keep IMS Noida as the last option and target better colleges provided that you have a MAT score of 96+. The two options you can consider before finally choosing IMS Noida are
- IPE PGDM Banking and Finance
- BIMM Pune
Most of the time the figures revealed online are misleading and inflated solely for advertisement. You can contact the alumni, mention your area of interest in the job and then enquire about
- Job profile security
- Bulk hire, and fire
- In hand salary
With relative knowledge about these, you might get a more honest picture. The last option is to re-attempt MAT and score higher than before so that you can target top tier 1 like Great Lakes, SIMSREE, XIME, and BIMTECH Noida which have sound credibility.
Which course should I choose between IIML ABM, SPJAIN IM and IIM Shillong PGP?
No matter which B School you choose, PGP is always a better choice than ABM. But there might be a specific reason why you got an ABM offer rather than a PGP. But at IIM Lucknow, students of both programs are offered equal opportunities. These include final placements. summer placements and subsequent PPOs.
The major drawback of ABM is that you are deprived of the PGP electives and can cover ABM electives only. These electives cover strategy marketing and operations.
Talking about your offer from SP JAIN for IM, let me tell you that in this regard, IIM Shillong is a much better choice. Its campus in Dubai is a testament to its worth.
Which one shall I go for, MDI Murshidabad (PGDM) or IMT Hyderabad (PGDM marketing)? Give appropriate reasons please.

Which will give me the exposure and on-site working experience: XLRI, HRM, or BM?
One of my friends is studying at XLRI. To her, there is no difference or classification of the amount of international exposure or on-site opportunities, based on specializations. The points below provide a clear picture of the modes of international exposure that students of XLRI receive during their course and afterward.
- There is a student exchange program in XLRI, which provides foreign learning opportunities to students.
- The institute has tie-ups with several international business schools like ESADE, Audencia, Darden, and EM Lyon.
- Almost 20% of students from the batch get the opportunity to spend a semester in one of the foreign institutes. Among them, most of the seats are available to HR and BM students.
- Students get the benefit of interacting with international students and get used to the global perspective of MBA.
- In terms of internships and placements, the working experience of candidates totally depends upon the job role offered by the company.
- In certain cases, companies send their summer interns abroad to their offices.
- There are HR interns from HUL, who worked in the United Kingdom during their internship period.
Therefore, specialization is not the mode of distinguishing chances for on-site opportunities, and the factor is entirely based on the company’s business requirements.
How is the Post Graduate Program In Management (ePGPx) with IIM Rohtak?
- The minimum number of years in business school is ten. ISB Hyderabad is an exception because they have only focused on the PGPX format of the program since its inception.
- A very strong alum base thus supports placements because placements in these programs are typically lateral in nature.
- A very strong faculty base with international or very rich corporate exposure to support the program.
- A rich and varied corporate immersion program to aid in the successful integration of the program's participants and sponsors (SP JAIN does well here).
- Then, to top it all off, a robust infrastructure.
What is the total expenditure to pursue a PGDM core at BIMTECH (including hostel, mess, and other expenses)?
BIMTECH is one of India's top business schools, with a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation. The institute's PGDM programs are all equivalent to an MBA degree.
