Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad is widely regarded as one of the best business schools in India. Graduates from here typically have a good deal of success when it comes to finding employment after graduation. Graduates after doing the flagship two-year MBA program at IIM Ahmedabad earn one of the highest average salaries compared to any other business school in India.
However, other business schools like Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management (LBS), XLRI, and NMIMS Bangalore also have a strong reputation, and the placement records of their students are also very good. It is impossible to directly compare the placement records of these universities because it is dependent on a variety of factors such as batch size, industry preference, recruitment policy, and so on.
Comparing these records would be tough. But below is a table comparing these colleges on the basis of their fees, highest salary package, average salary package, and median salary package offered;
