Having known some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that BHU is a better university than NIT Trichy.
NIT Trichy considers the CAT score to select the candidates. Here, the students from different states enjoy the 50% quota for MBA admission. NITs are engineering-oriented and you might have less exposure in terms of management studies.
IM (FMS) Banaras Hindu University also enrolls students with a good CAT score. Combined merit is formed for the students of the MBA and MBA (IB) program. The merit includes:-
BHU’s major recruiters include -Infosys, Wipro, Tata Consultancy, Federal Bank, Ansal API, IDBI Bank, Pantaloons, etc.
Categories | MBA at NIT Trichy | MBA at BHU |
Course Fee | 2.89 lakhs | 1.5 lakhs |
Highest CTC | 12 LPA | 12-16 LPA |
Average CTC | 8 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | HSBC, American Express, ITC, Asian Paints, etc. | Aditya Birla, Wipro, IDBI Bank, Reliance, etc. |
A total number of 38 companies visited and a total of 119 students were placed from campus. Thus, FMS BHU is quite prominent compared to NIT Trichy.
I talked to a few of the students from these institutes and based on the reviews I got from them, I will say the preference order for most of the applicants is somewhat like the following.
UBS (Chandigarh) > DSM (DTU) > FMS (BHU)
Here is a brief highlight of the institutes.

Here are some of the parameters based on which you should judge these institutes.
Judging by all these factors, I will say that you should prefer UBS Chandigarh.
Before we get into a college, we normally do prior research on various factors that we require in the desired course. Generally, it is about placements, packages, and corporate exposure. And, if you are assuming to find all of that in FMS BHU, you are wrong!
But then, if you are looking for a place with some spiritual retreat and carrying a degree just for the sake of carrying one without bringing out any benefit- FMS BHU would welcome you with open arms!
Some people beg to differ- which I am assuming is because they must have been placed in good company. But then, if you have prior work experience, carry a strong and valuable work ethic with a good educational convent background, FMS BHU should not be considered.
FMS BHU is ranked similar to what a mediocre MBA college is. Save your time by not going for this. Not choosing FMS BHU can save your career from being wasted. Because it's better to test your luck in some betting app than choosing this institute as your place to study.
The profiles that the companies show up are in the name of sales, but you would beg to differ when you observe companies like Berger Paints, Kent RO, Gyan Dairy, etc. show up. They offer an average package of 2.4-5 LPA.
The batch of my friends is facing this issue as they have no other option left. All in all, I would not recommend FMS BHU at all.
FMS BHU is the best among all of these. There is no comparison with any other colleges.
However, if we look at NIT Trichy vs PUMBA, NIT Trichy seems to be a little better than PUMBA in terms of placements and their fee structure is almost the same.
