One of my friends pursued BTech from a renowned IIT and even had work experience when he got an offer from IIM Nagpur. He wasn’t sure if joining it would be worth it but a few months into the college made him realize that it was one of the best decisions of his life. He claimed that the following points convinced him to join IIM Nagpur
I have seen many people forgoing offers from XIMB-BM, IIM Kashipur, IIM Indore- Mumbai campus VGSOM and all the newest IIMs to join IIM Nagpur. Its fast-paced growth and promising placement opportunities are the main reasons for the same. So I think IIM Nagpur is way better than XIMB.

My sister completed her MBA from JBIMS last year and says that no one from her batch had taken HR as their specialization. Therefore HR profiles are rarely offered during placements. But once or twice the HR profiles were opened up in the college as 2-3 students were willing to go for it.
But we cannot deny the fact that it will take a tremendous amount of time for college to build a reputation in HR and hence attract top job profiles in the domain.
My personal suggestion would be that if JBIMS decides to start a full-time specialized program in HR, it would greatly benefit the entire MMS program by attracting better profiles during placements, for all the streams in general.
The IIM Trichy HR program is a relatively new program that started in 2020. Owing to its lack of credibility not many go for this course.

From the table we can infer that the highest CTC of the HR program is nearly half of that of the regular program. This clearly speaks about its placement opportunities. So I will suggest you go for HR only if you are really interested in it, else go for a regular PGPM.
You will be glad to know that the MDI HR batch gets placed much earlier than PGDM. This is because the batch is smaller than the number of visiting companies and hence all the students are placed within no time.
My friend was in MDI Gurgaon HR program and shared the summer placements scenario with me. Packages: 58 students were offered decent packages with the Highest CTC standing at INR 35.57 LPA. In fact the last candidate also got 85000/- month.

All the top B-School competitions for HR are open for 3 colleges only namely Xl, TISS, and MDI. MDI students have won many such competitions and shone the name of the institute. Without any doubt it is one of the best B Schools in the country and its placements are a testament to that.

The institute is decent and so are the placement opportunities but the kind of package you end up with solely depends on how you spent 2 years here and your performance in the interview.
It depends on which NMIMS you’re talking about. If you’re talking about NMIMS Mumbai. Then I would choose NMIMS.
Location: Between NMIMS & SCMHRD, Mumbai is one the best location to do an MBA as a large and good pool of companies will come to the campus.
Brand name- NMIMS has a better reputation and brand value then compared to SCMHRD. NMIMS stands proud as a Deemed-to-be University offering multiple disciplines across multiple campuses. What started as an institute in a small building has caught the attention of the world, thanks to its 17 specialized schools
