Hello Aspirant,
Both SRM KTR and Jain CMS B-School offer their own advantages, and your choice will depend on what you value most. SRM KTR has a strong academic reputation and has better infrastructure than Jain CMS B-School; however, Jain´s location in a business city could offer more industry exposure. If alumni and campus life are important to you, SRM is a good choice. If placement and networking are more important, Jain could be better.
Hello Aspirant,
No, as long as you hold a valid AIU equivalence certificate, your future placements will not be affected as most companies look for your performance in B.
