IMT is indeed a brand name but unfortunately, the brand's credibility is applicable only to IMT Ghaziabad. The other campuses carry very little brand worth and legacy of IMT. If there is an IMT that is slightly near to comparison then it is IMT Hyderabad. The other campuses are new and lack recognition. IMT Hyderabad campus is visited by some extremely reputed local companies thereby offering better placement opportunities.

ASB offers dual specialization and good placement at only INR 6.9 Lacs. The ROI period is only around a year.

The required CAT cutoff is around 75 percentile. You can expect an interview call if you score 75+ in CAT.
Among the three colleges, IMT Nagpur should be your choice unless there is any specific need of yours that is being met by any of the other two colleges. IMT Nagpur started in the year 2004 and has a rich legacy in terms of the brand name of IMT Ghaziabad.
Despite being a relatively new college you could see a few major brand names that visit the college regularly such as Dabur, Bain & Company, Barclays, and Fullerton India. The institute is known for producing great minds in the marketing domain. Now let’s see some numbers to see if the reasoning is sound. Please note that the data may seem at odds with my first statement but average salary doesn't necessarily define the whole story. The batch size of We School is huge which makes Nagpur a better option for you.

If you're looking for brand value, IMT Group has a better brand value than BIMTECH. With that, IMT Nagpur has top-notch faculty members. They are well-educated and have years of practical expertise. IMT Nagpur Average package 2023 was 10.81 LPA with a 100% placement which is good enough.
If you're considering higher education in the management sector, IMT Nagpur is a highly-regarded institute to consider. Established in 2004, IMT Nagpur has established itself as one of India's leading B-Schools, offering students a vast and dynamic campus environment that provides opportunities for both academic and personal growth. With 38+ international partnerships, IMT Nagpur provides students with access to top-notch educational programs and resources. The campus infrastructure is state-of-the-art and includes a well-stocked library, modern classrooms, seminar halls, and a welcoming canteen.
IMT Nagpur offers PGDM programs in a variety of areas, including marketing, finance, human resources, organizational behavior, operations management, business analytics, and IT. With excellent in-campus placement opportunities, high salary packages, and a wealth of opportunities to learn and develop skills, IMT Nagpur is an excellent choice if you're seeking a management degree such as an MBA or PGDM.
IMT Nagpur and IMT Hyderabad are considered good B-Schools, better than TAPMI and LBSIM but IMT Nagpur is more established and has a better reputation, which puts it higher on the list. However, this ranking can vary depending on the factors that are being considered, such as faculty quality, campus infrastructure, industry linkages, and alumni network, among others. Additionally, personal preference and individual career goals should also be taken into consideration while evaluating the B-Schools.
It is always recommended to visit the campus and talk to current students and alumni before making a final decision.
IMT Ghaziabad is better than IMT Nagpur. These two don’t belong in the same tier. IMT G is counted among the top B-Schools in the country. It was ranked 5th for MBA by India Today 2021. It is the flagship brand of IMT.
IMT G has maintained an amazing placement record over the years. The average and highest CTC offered to students during IMT Ghaziabad placements 2022 were respectively INR 15.28 LPA and INR 62 LPA.
Honestly speaking all the B Schools you mentioned are just glamorous brand names with no real value. The placement scenario is very pathetic here as the companies that visit are looking for students who can work at fewer salaries. Only the extremely meritorious students get good packages and that too is rare.
So I will suggest that if you have scored 95+ in CAT, then you are capable of more. So work hard and target a better B School next year. Remove these colleges from your list of options and attempt CAT again.
If you are not very sure about attempting CAT again then prepare yourself for a package as low as 5-6 LPA.
Many coaching institutes publish many different rankings of B schools across the country every year based on several different parameters. Which in most situations aren’t reliable and trustworthy. But the Times ranking or Career Launcher ranking is more realistic and based on practical parameters. According to these rankings, the preference order of the institutes is as follows.
