How can I arrange the following according to an MBA/PGDM: NMIMS, Mumbai, SBIM, Pune, IIFT, Delhi, Great Lakes, Chennai, SPJIMR, Mumbai and JBIMS, Mumbai?
I have given the preference order of the above-mentioned B Schools. However please remember this is based on my personal opinions and not any official figures
1st: NMIMS is one of the best schools in Mumbai with fewer fees and great specialization in Finance. Its distinguishing feature is its small batch size which is extremely beneficial for excellent placements. The companies that visit offer the best roles to their students mainly because of their credibility and strong alumni network.
2nd: SPJIMR too is located in Mumbai and is the second-best School after JBMINS. Its students intake is very good due to the strict selection process. The placements are at par with JBIMS but the fees are a bit higher. It's ranked in the top 3 in Operation and IT specialization in India.
3rd: One of the oldest institutes for MBA, IIFT is a good choice owing to its strong brand name and small batch size.
4th: SIBM Pune is a blend of everything; a Good campus, good corporate competition, hostel life, good infrastructure, faculty, and placement. It gives you an amazing MBA experience l.
5th: NMIMS Mumbai is great for MBA and is at par with SIBM. But I have ranked it the last owing to its high fees and larger batch size that requires a lot of competition during placements.
So the ranking is
NMIMS>SPJIMR>IIFT>SIBM Pune>NMIMS Mumbai

Which has a greater career impact, EGMP certification from IIM Bangalore or Executive MBA (WX) from NMIMS?
For EGMP certification from IIM Bangalore, you must have at least 5 years of experience, and the entire course fee is 6,76,000. The course is designed for working professionals who have not been exposed to many pivotal corporate shifts and want to broaden their managerial skills. The same would apply to an Executive MBA from NMIMS that requires a minimum of 3 years of work experience. Although there is a significant difference between the fees, it should not affect your choice if you’re planning on pursuing executive education. The brand image may not influence the chances of your success in the industry after working for more than 5 years. Still, it could definitely provide you with the right kind of assistance. So, in my opinion, you should go for IIM certification.
Should I join an MBA tech program in NMIMS Mumbai?
This program is not AICTE approved, which means you won't be able to give government exams. However, you can still get private jobs, but keep in mind that not many companies recognize this program, so there may be fewer job opportunities if you don't take up placement from the institute.
If you're planning to take admission in NMIMS, you should know that the admission fee is around Rs. 2,75,000. Paying around 25 lacs for a 5-year MBATech program may not be worth it. If you do decide to get a refund, you may face some problems. The person on the telephone might speak rudely, and the refund process can be time-consuming. Additionally, you need to send a cancellation form by post, which can also take some time.
There are cases where students have experienced some issues when they applied for a refund 20 days before the start of college, and they didn't receive a 100% refund. The college deducted 50000-55000 and provided reasons as to why the students weren't eligible for a full refund. Therefore, it's essential to do proper research, take suggestions from people, and read all the rules and regulations of UGC and AICTE before taking admission.
In summary, before taking admission to any institute, you should always do thorough research, take suggestions from others, and read all the rules and regulations. This will help you make an informed decision and avoid facing any problems later on.
