Placements : The highest package offered for this year is Rs 22.5 lakhs per annum with prominent companies like D.E.Shaw, Amazon, Deloitte, Factset, HDFC Bank, iNautix etc., offering placements. The average package is at around 6.97 lakhs per annum.

NMIMS Indore:
NMIMS Indore has very recently been established compared to which the Mumbai campus has been around for 35+ years.
Up until now the first batch hasn't even graduated from the Indore Campus so there's no data to make the comparison.
Even without the data it can be very easily inferred that atleast as of now the Indore campus is nowhere near as good as the one in Mumbai

Hi Soumya!
Yes, IMT Hyderabad has a cut off of 70 percentile and you might as well have a chance to convert the same with a decent personal interview. IMT Hyderabad offers different courses like PGDM and Executive Postgraduate program in management and you could opt for whichever suits your profile.
The fees for the first year is somewhere around 6.4 lakhs and 5.5 lakhs for the second year. The average package of the institution is around 6-7 lakhs and the highest package has been said as 20 lakhs. Though the college offers various programs, getting to know about the faculty and facilities is quite important and thus it is advisable for you to contact with the alumni to inquire about the same. That could be done in LinkedIn and you'd find the required information from them which is usually genuine.
Since the college has a brand name IMT, the facilities and programs are expected to be of high quality and one could gain the required skills to work in the corporate world later on. It is said to have been placed among the top 25 private colleges in India with their curriculum and infrastructure.
the various recruiters that usually come for placement are Deloitte, Amazon, Coffee Day, ICICI, SBI Life Insurance, Infosys, Cognizant, Wallmart, Tata Capital, Duke India, etc and they offer various profiles ranging from finance, marketing to HR. The specialization in the PGDM program can be chosen in the second year based upon your interests and you can choose the companies to sit for accordingly. The profiles range from Marketing, consulting, corporate finance, Corporate HR, Risk Analytics, Insurance, and sales. The summer internship is provided by the college and you can have a chance to work closely with the corporate world even before you graduate from college. Sometimes a pre-placement offer is also received and it thus becomes vital for you to hone your skills while taking up a management education.
That being said, it's important to prepare for your personal interview as they est you on various sills, business communication, basic knowledge about the course and your aspirations.
Good luck. Feel free to contact for further queries.
Hello Shagun,
Institute of Management Technology, Hyderabad offers admissions to its P.G.D.M. program through CAT, XAT, CMAT and GMAT. The admission process takes place in two steps, the candidate has to apply via online mode and on the basis of the scores in the above mentioned exams, candidates are shortlisted for interview. The final selection is done on the basis of the cumulative scores of entrance exams and interviews.
As for your question, there is a chance that if all the seats are not filled, then the college calls the candidates who are next in line according to the entrance exam scores.
Hi Dimple.
Greetings.
NIA Pune has a percentile in excess of 80 in CMAT and 60 in CAT whereas the cutoff is 125 marks or 70 percentile,which ever is higher for IMT Hyderabad in CMAT.
Christ Bangalore has a percentile of around 70 in CMAT and CAT both.
There is better chance of getting a call from IMT Hyderabad and Christ Univeristy.
All the Best.
Hi Prachi, generally cutoff are not fixed for any college and it varies every where based on various factors.
However based on the previous records, a cut off of around 70+ percentile or 125+ marks in CMAT is enough to get a call.
Since you have score of 77 percentile, you have high chances to make it through to the next rounds.
All the best !!
Hello Prachi. Thanks for connecting with Careers360. I would like to tell you that both the colleges are good but the difference lies in the specilization they offer. If Finance is the option you are looking for, then Welingkar will be the best option for you. If you have interest in any other specilization such as Marketing, HR etc. then I would recommend IMT Hyderabad to you. It all depends on the specilization you want to opt. Placement and academic quality of both the colleges are excellent. I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck.
Hi Prachi, on comparison of both I would say IBS Hyderabad is way better than IMT Hyderabad. IBS Hyderabad has a very good academic syllabus which is at par with the Harvard standards. The package wise also IBS Hyderabad has an edge over IMT wherein the average package at IMT is around 6.5 lpa whereas in IBS it is around 8-9 lpa. The fees is slightly higher in IBS and the batch size is quite big in IBS which are some of the disadvantage of IBS, but according to placements and teaching and syllabus standards, it is IBS which makes it the best among the two, although both the colleges are top in Hyderabad domicile.
