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.
Placements for FMS BHU are quite impressive. It added one of the prominent financial institutions of India i.e. Reserve Bank of India in its recruitment list in the recent past.
Moreover, many students got a chance to get recruited in the top international company and organizations including research & consulting firms such as iCRM.
So, from the above information, you should get a clear idea about the placement of FMS BHU.
Two years back my brother performed in the GD and cleared the PI round. Here is his experience in brief.
GD:
PI:
In the PI round, they ask multiple other questions like hobbies, movie interests, job profile and all, mostly general questions.
FMS BHU is a Central Government university, and they lack proper quality classrooms, ambiance, and all.
You can expect to get a proper MBA (rather than a PGDM, which is what most top-rated B schools offer) with an average package of 6 to 7 lakhs per annum by paying an overall fee of 1.6 lakhs for both two years (including hostel rent plus food equivalent).
Here are the recent placement statistics for the institute, in brief.

It is the cheapest when compared to other top-rated B schools where you spend around 16 lakhs plus interest on loans, and you get a package of 10 to 12 lakhs. Even if you earn well after getting placed, the majority of your salary will go to the repayment of the loan. Most of the banks want students to take loans so that they become their useful mode of income.
My brother has studied at IMI Bhubaneswar and it's the best because of its brand value. It is a new and upcoming institute with IMI Delhi’s reputation and brand value.
The following points explain a brief overview of the institutes:
Now, the difference to be highlighted in the degree is that FMS BHU will give you an MBA degree whereas, IMI will give you a PGDM degree; although this is not a huge difference you might choose an MBA over a PGDM program.
So, finally, the choice lies with you because both institutes are quite similar in academics, facilities, and opportunities. It will definitely not create a huge impact if you choose one over the other.
UBS (Chandigarh) is better than FMS (BHU) and DSM (DTU). UBS (Chandigarh) is good for management courses in many ways be it infrastructure, campus life, hostels, or education.

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.
No, FMS - BHU does not consider sectional cut-offs. Usually, the cut-off of the general category ranges from 82 to 85 percentile. This is the required criteria for any candidate to receive a GD-PI call.
However, the cut off required is as mentioned below,
Courses |
General (Criteria) |
MBA Agribusiness |
85 |
MBA International Business |
85 |
IMS BHU (which technically was known as FMS earlier) generally accepts CAT score for admission purposes. If you are considering section-wise, then 80 percentile or above can increase your chances of selection after the GD or the interview session.
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.

Both the colleges are at par. It is a personal choice. However, exposure is good at BIMTECH but the fee is high.
On the other hand, FMS BHU offers the best ROI. The fee is at par with the placements in FMS BHU.
