It feels nice to be answering a question on Quora about BBD. This question stuck me while scrolling through the feed. There are a lot of speculations and reviews are doing rounds about several engineering colleges including Babu Banarasi Das University, Lucknow.

I am quite aware of all the conditions and quality of education at BBD because my sister graduated from there. She was in the 2015 pass out batch.

The faculty there is determined, sincere, punctual and very cooperative. Result of which is successful students who get placed in big firms and MNCs during campus placements and interviews. Moreover, the fact that it lays emphasis on a green culture makes it all the more beautiful place to stay and study. Senior students assist the juniors in their study projects and assignments and a large number of internships are offered. They have shown to have quite promising campus placements in the last couple of years.

Strictly speaking, for the year 2021-23, the total course fee including the hostel charges comes out to be INR 20,67,000 excluding the mess charges for the MBA in Business Management (MBA-BM) course at XIMB Bhubaneswar. 

The decision to spend these 22 Lakhs in two years is worth it, if you do not fall in any of these categories.

• If you have other top college converts that have considerably low fees such as JBIMS or FMS.
• If you have a better percentile than required to be at XIMB Bhubaneswar and you can convert IIMs especially the older IIMs.

Now, if you do not fall in the above two categories, then XIMB Bhubaneswar is a very good option. Some of the reasons for the same are –

The institute attracts many top companies to its campus for recruitment. 

• The rigorous curriculum, totaling 105 credits in two years, will teach you a lot about business management through classroom learning, summer internship, project works, and field visits.
• You will enjoy a sweet social life at the institute with various clubs and committees. Corporate B-school competitions will become part of your life where you will learn as well as have fun.

Thus, XIMB Bhubaneswar is really a very good institute that will propel your career if you have the interests and do your work properly.

You can definitely join NITIE as a fresher. You will have ample learning and placement opportunities at NITIE. 

NITIE has placements at par with any other B school in India. NITIE is one of very few B-schools that conduct separate lateral and common placement processes for experienced and fresher. Also, NITIE has a magnificent ROI.

In case your academic record is not good and you have no prior work experience then it’s better to join a job and prepare for next year’s CAT. You can’t improve your academics but this way, you can improve your overall profile. 

So, choose the option that suits you best. 

It is difficult to say what is the lowest salary package offered by XLRI as it is not declared officially. It is somewhat around 10 LPA. This statistic is not definite and can vary. 

For IIMs the lowest CTC is lower than XLRI, because of the huge batch size. I personally know few people who got placed with a salary package of 6-7 LPA. 

The tentative lowest CTC offered at different IIMs are -

IIM A, B, & C: 8-10 LPA

IIM L, I, K: 6-8 LPA

Again these are not official data and can vary.
