Which of the following is better in terms of placements: IIM K, IIM I, ISB, FMS or XLRI?
ISB caters to working professionals with more than 2 years of experience. If you do not belong to this category, this institution is not for you.
Now coming to the other options,
The HR program of XLRI is very old and renowned. Because of it, XLRI receives a slightly higher number of recruiters. This boosts its average package. Its limited batch size also benefits its placements. IIMK, FMS and XLRI receive more or less the same companies. But IIMK and XLRI attract MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) for their front end roles, which IIMI and FMS do not.
Considering all these factors, XLRI is the best choice, mainly because of its small batch size. It is followed by IIMK and FMS, and IIM Indore comes last.

XLRI is better in terms of placements. It is among the top B-Schools in the country and many reputed companies visit the campus placements. XLRI placements 2022 ended with a median CTC of around INR 29 LPA. While the highest CTC was INR 60 LPA. The small batch size also helps with the placements.
In terms of placements, the preference order for these institutes will be XLRI > ISB > IIM K > IIM I > FMS.
