To achieve a strong professional profile, it is recommended that you aim for a MAT score of 97 or above, or take the MAT exam again for the best results. Additionally, having a valid license for a two-wheeler may be beneficial for a sales profile, but it's best to confirm this with the placement officer.

In the event that you cannot reach the desired MAT tier, building a LinkedIn profile and connecting with alumni who have worked in sales profiles may provide insight into job stability and average take-home salary. Keep in mind that the success of a few students, even if they are featured in promotional posters, may not accurately reflect the experiences of the entire student body.

It's also important to consider placement quality, stability, and job sustainability when evaluating institutions. For instance, with a high student intake, NDIM may not necessarily guarantee quality placements. Checking LinkedIn for reviews from alumni may offer a more accurate perspective.

Lastly, be mindful when considering IMS G as there have been reports of dissatisfaction with placements among current and former students. It may be wise to consult LinkedIn for reviews and make an informed decision, as the investment in your education is significant.

If you are interested in marketing with 2+ years of work experience then, IMT Ghaziabad should be your choice. IMT Ghaziabad’s pedagogy has 6 terms, of which 3 terms focused on courses applicable to all students. Once the student enters Term IV after the internship they are offered specialization courses.The exposure to electives helps students gain knowledge and understanding of the marketing domain.

Placements in the marketing domain are the best at IMT Ghaziabad. I have provided a comparative view of the placement statistics of the previous year and this year which shows an increase of 13.4% to last year’s average CTC.

NMIMS Bangalore is better than Great Lakes Gurgaon PGPM, and Great Lakes’s Manipal campus is only better. 

The other campuses at Great Lakes are still in the growing stage, so I would suggest you not to choose them. Instead, you can opt for NMIMS, the faculties there are experienced, and they have industry exposure as well, plus you have a location advantage. Many companies have their offices in Bangalore, so it would be easy for you to grab a placement there. NMIMS also has a great student culture from various clubs and committees you can groom yourself.

FORE does not offer an MBA course, they offer a PGDM course. Also comparing them in particular one stream is a tough task as they do not publish a separate report, but below is an overall comparison table.

Both TAPMI and KJ SOMAIYA are at par when comparing marketing curriculum and faculty, but overall TAPMI is slightly better when comparing the highest, median and mean packages and placements. 

Below is a table showing the fees, highest salary package, and average salary package;

This is overall data though. TAPMI has better RoI between the two, but the decision is ultimately yours which will depend on your goals, preferences, and any constraints you have.

Both the IIMs, IIM Rohtak and IIM Raipur give an edge to each other in the sense that they have similar faculty, teaching methodology, rankings, placements, and brand value. 

However, IIM Rohtak has a locational advantage being situated in the NCR region. This attracts more corporates and companies for placements. It also has a bigger batch size than IIM Rohtak and a strong alumni base.

Ultimately it’s you who decides the B School that is most suitable for you. Both these IIMs are almost similar but I have to say IIM Rohtak gives a slight edge to IIM Raipur.

If you want certain features like high-quality infrastructure, a diverse student body, or a wonderful location, BIM may not be the best choice. 

However, BIM is a good choice if you want to learn management in its purest form, study with famous professors, have a high return on investment, experience southern Indian culture, enjoy a variety of extracurricular events & an active nightlife, and have great job opportunities, including at McKinsey, Asian Paints, and E&Y. BIM as a business school is great, but it may not suit everyone.
