*The college does not judge students on the basis of the score granted by any entrance exam. Hence, no cut off score.

Eligibility: A graduate from a UGC recognized university with 50% marks is eligible for admission to the course at both the places. Plus, the score of any exam from CAT/ MAT/ XAT/ CMAT is considered.

Admissions Process: A shortlist is prepared of candidates with a valid score in any exam amongst CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT in both the colleges. The GD+Essay Writing followed by Personal Interview after the shortlist completes the process. BIMM also accepts the score of MAH CET and XIME considers ATMA and GMAT scores.

Course Curriculum: Following the pattern of London Business School with emphasis on producing industry ready candidates, BIMM appears appealing. At the same time, positive reviews regarding Academic engagement at XIME presents the curriculum in a bright light.

Other: The location of XIME being Bangalore, it claims being accessible to giants in the industry, thus ensuring better placements for students. As far as 'Student Life' is concerned, less focus on extracurricular activities, presents XIME in a bad light compared to BIMM.

To conclude, with a low RoI, XIME here seems to fall short in comparison to BIMM but covers up in academics and faculty.
