Which is best to join new iim or nmims mumbai core?

While many may not agree, the new IIMs are far better than NMIMS. People prefer NMIMS mainly because of its location and legacy. If you come out of that criteria then you realize that the new IIMs are much more. I have compared the new IIMs with NMIMS on the basis of a few aspects.

• Strength: The increasing batch size is a major problem in NMIMS as it directly affects placements. The best companies hire only 3-4 students. Thus almost half the batch is placed in mediocre companies with average roles. New IIMs, on the other hand, have a very small batch size and therefore there is equality in placements 
• NMIMS: NMIMS MBA fees is much more than the new IIMS. Also, the accommodation costs are high and the ultimate ROI is not good at all.
• Campus Life: The most crucial drawback that NMIMS faces is a lack of hostel life. There are zero recreational or sports activities. No playgrounds or sports facilities are available. The new IIMs are excellent in this aspect with world-class facilities both in terms of education and recreation.
• Placements: NMIMS placements are o n level with IIM Ranchi, the oldest among the new IIMs. Trichy and Kashipur are almost reaching that level too.

So the new IIMs are far better in terms of brand, faculty, and even ROI.
