How is IIM Visakhapatnam for an MBA in HR?
Just like the new IITs, this is another one of those so-called IIMs that simply has the IIM name displayed on its building. The credibility of these institutes is severely lacking when compared to both their own students (though I certainly hope not the faculty) and the outside world. And justifiably so. Building up one's credibility and esteem requires time and effort over the course of many years. The ancient IITs didn't become household names overnight; rather, it took its students and staff a couple of decades to make their mark on the world stage, which is why they are known today.
When I go to these types of institutes, I hear students bragging about how fantastic their own school is by mentioning some impressive placement packages that a select few students may have received or by claiming victory in some challenging competitions. I say that you should let the rest of the world judge your excellence. Why do you have to pound your own drum?
Go to XLRI or TISS if you are serious about getting an MBA in human resources. They are unrivaled in this particular industry.
What are the options available for an MBA graduate from IIM to settle in Visakhapatnam?
Your job prospects are directly related to your line of specialization and the related opportunities available. It all depends on the companies whose requirements match your profile.
Many small cities and towns still lack job prospects for an MBA graduate even if he has the degree of an IIM. So it’s better you grab the best opportunities during the final placements itself. After that, depending on your performance you can climb the ladder and avail a plethora of job opportunities.
So if you are planning to settle in Visakhapatnam your prospects are a little bleak because it is a small city.

Which B-school would you recommend between IIM Vizag, IIM Raipur and TAPMI?
If you have these options then you can kick out TAPMI first of all. IIM tag is much worth it if you consider current industry growth. There are multiple factors to consider between IIM Vizag and IIM Raipur.
First of all, is placements, IIM Raipur has better placements than Vizag. The average salary package for IIM Raipur is around 16-17 LPA while for Vizag it is around 13-14 LPA. IIM Raipur is a new generation IIM established in 2010 while Vizag was set up in 2015. So, IIM Raipur is a clear choice among the three.
