Coming to the second part of your question, a package of 15 LPA and above is certain for those who have scored the highest percentile only. It’s not possible for B Schools to offer package roles to the entire batch to maintain a high average figure. So before joining a college for MBA you should analyze whether the package you will get will compensate for the hefty fees you pay.
Which one is better: IMT or XIMB or IMI??
If you have a closer look, there is no major difference between the 3 B Schools. So I have made it easier by judging them on the basis of 2 parameters only.
Admissions: Most competent students get a call from 2 of these 3 institutes as all the 3 to have similar requisites
Placements: The placements are also at a similar level. The profiles and packages offered are similar in all the 3 B Schools except that IMT is a little behind owing to its huge batch size.
So I would say the order would be as this- XIMB >=IMI>IMT

You should consider XIM Bhubaneshwar over IMT Ghaziabad, and SIIB Pune as your choice of B-school. Following are the pros and cons.
Pros:
- XIMB has its own unique culture and selects students who fit into that culture.
- The institute provides a great student life on campus, with excellent faculty and a lot of freedom for students.
- The geographical disadvantage of the institute is compensated by almost 100% placements, especially for above-average students.
- XIMB provides a lot of opportunities for interaction with industry experts, giving students good exposure.
- The alumni of XIMB are doing well in almost all big corporate houses, which helps in placements and career moves after the first job.

Is It worth to join B schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB whose fees are around 20 lakhs if I have calls from reputed government colleges on par with these?
Before I talk about the worth of private B Schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB, let’s consider their average packages.
|
B School |
Average Package |
|
IMT |
INR 17.35 LPA |
|
IMI Delhi |
INR 17.01 LPA |
|
XIMB |
INR 20 LPA |
The average package of government colleges like IITs and DSE is slightly less around INR 10.57 LPA. So the point is if you are ready to invest a hefty amount in B Schools, you will not regret the decision as they are game changers. The level of exposure and diversity is almost higher than in Government colleges. IITs, DFS and DSE MBAs have a more theoretical approach than a practical one. However, the figures for private B schools are inflated so do consider the ups and downs.
- IITs are best for operations and manufacturing industries
- IMT or XIMB is a good option for Marketing
- DFS or IMI are best suited for Finance
- XIMB or DSE are best for HR
The final decision is up to you. Try to find what exactly you want from MBA
- If you are looking for the IIT tag, then IIT
- If you are after ROI or PhD then DSE or DFS
- If you want to climb the corporate ladder, XIMB is the best
Make a well-informed decision after proper research.

What should be preference order of IMT Ghaziabad courses- PGDM, PGDM marketing, PGDM finance, PGDM DCP, PGDM banking, insurance and financial services?
IMT Ghaziabad offers a variety of courses that cater to various specializations. These courses have been listed and explained in their order of preference
- PGDM Marketing/PGDM Full Time (Marketing): This is the most coveted program among IMT students mainly because today its alumni have acquired top positions in big firms. Other major reasons include top-notch faculty, great internship and placement opportunities in terms of role and CTC, IMT’s eligibility, and excellent performances in recognized marketing and strategy B Schools competitions.
- PGDM Finance/PGDM Full Time (Finance): This one is most suitable for aspirants who are interested in Finance. However, this program offers lesser opportunities than the Marketing program in terms of role and CTC.
- PGDM Full Time (Operations): This program offers opportunities similar to that of Finance. But the batch size of PGDM Operations is smaller than PGDM Finance, so it may be easier to secure an internship/final placement, but the opportunities come less compared to Finance.
- PGDM DCP: DCP or the Dual Country Program is for those who are keen to get international exposure. Compared to an MBA from a foreign university, this program is cheaper and yet offers an opportunity to explore a different culture and learn to make decisions in an international context. This is best suitable for those who are in the Marketing domain.
- PGDM Banking and Financial Services (PGDM-BFS): This program was launched in 2019 and is relatively newer. It targets the core Banking and Finance sector. While the MBA program aims to provide a holistic view of management, this program solely focuses on Banking and Finance.
- PGDM Full Time (HR): This is the least taken course and offers very less in terms of opportunities.
The courses have been arranged preference-wise so will make it easy for you to choose one.
