Which is better for doing an MBA BIMTECH or IMU?

Reeti AgarwalPGDM from Birla Institute of Management Technology (2019)

I am not familiar with the specialization in which you want to do your MBA. Comparing BIMTECH and IMU is not justified, it is like comparing apples with oranges.

IMU offers two MBA programs:

MBA in Port and Shipping Management
MBA in International Transportation and Logistics Management.

BIMTECH offers PGDM (equivalent to MBA) programs in the following streams –

Retail Management
International Business (Human Resource, Operations and Decision Science, Finance, Marketing)
PGDM Core ( Human Resource, Operations and Decision Science, Finance, Marketing)
Insurance Business Management

Categories	MBA at BIMTECH	MBA at IMU
Course Fee	9-12 lakh	4 lakh
Highest CTC	15 LPA	13 LPA
Average CTC	7-8 LPA	6 LPA
Recruiting Companies	American Express, Infosys, Google, Pantaloons, etc.	Goodwood, Posh, Ocean Sparkle, Aurus, etc.

I believe that you must first decide your interest in specialization and then proceed with the choice of colleges.
