Which one should I choose: 6IIMs (the so-called new IIMs, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy, Kashipur and Rajasthan) or XIMB?

IIMs are any day better option for you when compared to XIMB or any other B-Schools in India. You will only spend two years of your studies there but if you focus on the long run, you are the alumni of the institute forever.

Many international guest faculties visit the campus to give you global business exposure. This doesn't mean that XIMB is a bad option, but it's just that any IIM is better among the two.

There are few points worth mentioning:

• The brand name of IIM has a higher value.
• You will definitely have better future prospects being a part of IIM alumni association.
• The capacity of the institute to transform the human capital and social capital. This includes faculties, institute culture, pedagogy, events, and activities.
• Placement opportunities are much better at IIM, due to its brand value.
• You can easily secure a job offer, with an average package of 10-12 LPA.

At the end of the day, it's your decision to opt for the best for your future. Do consider this point of view and make a wise decision.
