BIMTECH is a 34-year-old private b-school located in Greater Noida for MBA aspirants. The college is backed by the legendary Birla Group. BIMTECH is largely preferred over other colleges in the same bracket by the aspirants for its beautiful fully-residential campus that distinguishes it from other B-schools in the same league.

Established in 2004, Jaipuria Institute of Management (JIM), Noida has completed almost 20 years of excellence in management education. JIM is ranked 28th amongst Private B-Schools in India by CSR-GHRDC, 2022, and 51st amongst all Management Institutes of India by NIRF rankings of 2022. 

Jaipuria Noida offers flagship two-year full-time AICTE Approved, NBA accredited and AIU-recognised PGDM programs (PGDM, PGDM (SM), and PGDM (MARKETING) and Doctoral level Fellow Program in Management.

IILM Institute for Higher Education, established in 1993, offers PGDM courses. The college has been ranked 120 in the NIRF rankings for 2022 and 11th Best Indian B-school in Eduniversal rankings. It has other two branches in Delhi-NCR which offer degrees in other streams and courses.

The table below shows the placement packages of all three institutions:

BIMTECH seems to be the better choice among the three options as it has a better placement record and a legacy of being a 34-year-old institute with an amazing alumni base.

Honestly speaking, it’s highly illogical to compare a premiere B School like Jaipuria Institute of Management with a technical institute like GL Bajaj Institute of Management and Technology. 

• Jaipuria Institute of Management is a highly-esteemed b-school that offers Management courses like MBA/PGDM. 
• The institute is one of the best B schools in North India and is often compared to premier B Schools like BIMTECH and IMT. 
• The management programs offered at Jaipuria are AIU recognized and approved by AICTE. 
• The institute is ranked 120 out of 281 colleges in India by India Today and 67 out of 120 colleges in India in 2023 by IIRF.

GL Bajaj on the other hand functions under the umbrella of Dr. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU). This is more of a technical institute than a B School. 

So both these institutes cannot be compared. If you are planning to pursue an MBA, then Jaipuria is the right choice but if you are planning to pursue Engineering only then is GL Bajaj a decent option.

The return on investment of the ROI depends more on the candidate's performance than the institute itself. The primary step should be to focus on achieving a high CAT score around 95+ percentile and apply to the top B Schools. If you fail to do so then you can consider the aforementioned B Schools.

Assuming the average package to be around 8 LPA, out of the entire batch around 20 students will secure a package of more than 8 LPA, in some cases maybe 12 or 14 LPA. Now compare these packages with the fees of around 9 Lakhs and also take into consideration other expenses, your investment will be around 12 lakhs. This is great for someone who received a package of 14 LPA, but for those who received low packages, the ROI is very less.

So, it depends on how well your profile, grades, and performance in the interview are!

The decision will largely depend on what factors are more important to you. I’ll try and give you an overall analysis of the facts and figures of both the colleges in the table below: 

Jaipuria noida seems better in every aspect unless you specifically wants to go to IBS Hyderabad. 

Both colleges are at par with each other and with the similar fee structure and average packages. So here are few of the companies that visit the companies respectively and you could make your decision based on your dream companies. 

Jaipuria Institute of Management Noida is one of the premier B-schools in India. The first and foremost thing to check is a college’s ranking. The recent NIRF 2022 rankings of India’s best management colleges have ranked Jaipuria Noida on 51st position in India among all management Institutes. 

The key features or USPs of the institute are its faculty, beautiful campus, extracurricular activities, faculty knowledge and helpfulness, campus life, industry connections, facilities, and most importantly placements. The most important aspect is the overall grooming of the students, and thankfully they pay a lot of attention to that. 

The biggest advantage or upper hand that you’d get at Jaipuria as compared to many other colleges is the corporate readiness, more chiseled and groomed personality, and better placement opportunities.

JIM and BIMTECH, Noida provide PGDM programs. Your aim and interests determine the program which you should opt for. 

JIM Noida's PGDM is ideal for Gen. Man. career seekers. The 2nd year provides specialisations in finance, marketing, human resources, operations, and strategy.

BIMTECH, Greater Noida's PGDM-RM can help you break into the retail industry. You can learn retail operations, supply chain management, customer behaviour, and marketing. It offers internships as well as industrial interactions.

When taking everything into consideration, I believe that the brand value of BIMTECH gives it a significant advantage over JIM in terms of value as well as the brand. They were also able to achieve 100% placement rate for the 2023 batch. The Highest CTC offered was somewhere around 24 LPA.
