IIFT conducts its own entrance test while for XLRI you need to appear for XAT. All other colleges like FMS, IIMs accept CAT scores only. All these are difficult entrance tests on their own, so focus on getting a good percentile in all the entrance tests in the first place.
After getting a good percentile, getting calls and eventual conversion depends on a lot of factors including past academic records, work experience, and GD/PI performance.
Ultimately past academic records, work experience you cannot change. The only thing in your hand is your CAT/XAT/IIFT percentiles and your GD/PI performance. Focus on getting as high a percentile as possible.

Comparing the 2 B Schools that are KJ Somaiya and NIRMA, I would say both are equal in terms of placements, opportunities and exposure. The only factor you need to consider here is location. NIRMA is a good choice if your hometown is nearby. But if you want to enjoy your college life, explore and make memories, KJ Somaiya is the best. Located in Vidyavihar, a student-dominated area in Mumbai, it has an amazing campus with top-notch facilities.

Here are the most important subjects taught to ACM and PEM students at NICMAR.
Apart from these, there are also many other important subjects taught at NICMAR.
One of my friends was pursuing the One Year Management Program in the US. So, I can give you the scenario of doing management from the US.
Pursuing a one-year program from the US is not a good option, no matter which university you are choosing.
Therefore, before getting into any B school first become clear what you want. If you want to work in the US, then go for a full-time MBA program from the top 20 colleges only.
Heritage Business School, Kolkata is comparably better than Amity University, Kolkata. It offers decent placements. The salary packages offered range between INR 3 - 6 LPA. ITC, Deloitte, and E&Y are some of the major recruiters that take part in the campus drive.
For an MBA, the choice of B-School is crucial. So, strive for a better B-School.
MBA in Operations is not something that NMIMS is known for, but MBA is.
Most MBA Core students choose either Marketing or Finance, so Operations has a small number of students. (This could be a good thing or a bad thing.)
The case method is the main way that the School teaches. It uses real-world business situations that offer interesting possibilities in difficult situations. The focus here is on practical information and learning that fits each person's needs. It has a lot of intellectual capital in the form of professors who are well-known in their areas and work hard to make the school a dynamic place to learn.
Aside from the classes, placements in the operations field are also pretty good, and companies offer operations management students a wide range of jobs.adv
