You might want to consider XIMB for your MBA studies because they have a stronger brand presence and a larger alumni network compared to IIMN. While IIMN is a newer institute and has seen rapid growth in recent years, it is still considered a tier 2 college in the business school market, whereas tier 1 status is reserved for the top 15 colleges. While the quality of students at both XIMB and IIMN may be similar, with a slight difference in percentile scores, both colleges have a lower representation of students from top undergraduate institutions such as IITs, NITs, and DU.

XIMB has also established strong international relations with schools such as KEDGE and WARSAW Economics, which can be a valuable resource for students. While the return on investment for an MBA from XIMB may be lower compared to other schools, it is important to remember that an MBA is an investment in your future career. Additionally, XIMB has a strong faculty with a pool of experienced professors and also has to visit faculty from XLRI, which is part of the same Jesuit trust. Overall, it is important to choose wisely and consider all factors when deciding on an MBA program.
