Which one is better: IMT or XIMB or IMI?
If you have a closer look, there is no major difference between the 3 B Schools. So I have made it easier by judging them on the basis of 2 parameters only.
Admissions: Most competent students get a call from 2 of these 3 institutes as all the 3 to have similar requisites
Placements: The placements are also at a similar level. The profiles and packages offered are similar in all the 3 B Schools except that IMT is a little behind owing to its huge batch size.
So I would say the order would be as this- XIMB >=IMI>IMT
The table below will give you a better picture of the comparison between the 3 colleges

Is It worth to join B schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB whose fees are around 20 lakhs if I have calls from reputed government colleges on par with these?
Before I talk about the worth of private B Schools like IMT/IMI/XIMB, let’s consider their average packages.

B School |
Average Package |
|
IMT |
INR 17.35 LPA |
|
IMI Delhi |
INR 17.01 LPA |
|
XIMB |
INR 20 LPA |
The average package of government colleges like IITs and DSE is slightly less around INR 10.57 LPA. So the point is if you are ready to invest a hefty amount in B Schools, you will not regret the decision as they are game changers. The level of exposure and diversity is almost higher than in Government colleges. IITs, DFS and DSE MBAs have a more theoretical approach than a practical one. However, the figures for private B schools are inflated so do consider the ups and downs.
- IITs are best for operations and manufacturing industries
- IMT or XIMB is a good option for Marketing
- DFS or IMI are best suited for Finance
- XIMB or DSE are best for HR
The final decision is up to you. Try to find what exactly you want from MBA
- If you are looking for the IIT tag, then IIT
- If you are after ROI or PhD then DSE or DFS
- If you want to climb the corporate ladder, XIMB is the best
Make a well-informed decision after proper research.
Which college should I prefer for Finance: XIMB BM, IMT G or IMI Delhi?
In choosing your B-school, the primary factors that you should consider are, the specialization you want to opt for and the ROI you are expecting. In your case, you want to go for Finance. The list of preferred B Schools you mentioned has similar fees and placements so I will be answering solely based on specialization.
Finance: IMI Delhi is the best choice of all the options when it comes to Finance. A premium quality crowd opts for Finance at IMI Delhi and the main reason is the customized MBA program in Finance. Many companies of the Finance sector visit the campus for placements. Finance students also avail the best opportunities and guidance and have a higher level of security than Marketing students.
However, in case you have more than 2-3 years of work experience, IMI Delhi is not a suitable option. Although you may stand out among your batchmates, the companies visiting the campus are not aware of this and offer roles suitable for less experienced students only. So your work experience may not be credited here.
The general preference order should be: IMI D>XIMB>IMT G

Are placement figures of New IIMs, IMT Ghaziabad and IMI Delhi inflated or genuine?
I can say with certainty that IMT Ghaziabad’s placement figures are highly inflated mainly because my own sister was a victim of the same. The placement committee portrays the inflated packages in different ways. The situation is worse at IMT Delhi. The students who join such colleges are mainly drawn because of the placement reports feeling wronged and rightly so.
IMT Ghaziabad’s summer placements witnesses most of the batch receiving stipends of around 15-20k only. Some students even have to go for unpaid internships. Most of the students get placed in start-ups only.
The final placements are all the more inflated with so many hidden variables that make it even impossible to identify the root cause of inflation. A major part of the batch receives an in-hand salary of around 60-65k only.
The new IIMs also have inflated placement figures but this problem is way more serious at private institutes like IMT, NMIMS, SIBM, and SCMHRD. The real average package offered at IMT Ghaziabad is around INR 10 LPA only. Many students are offered packages as low as 5-6 LPA while many remain unplaced.
How difficult is it to get a loan for IMT Ghaziabad, MDI, IMI Delhi, or TAPMI?
IMT Ghaziabad offers financial assistance through various Educational loans. Many Nationalized banks have decent loan schemes for students of such prestigious B Schools.
One such Central Government scheme is the Vidhyadhanush wherein, students from IMT, MDI, IMI, Depts of IITs, and other elite B Schools are offered unsecured education loans with interest rates as low as 8.3-8.5. The maximum loan amount one can get is around 20 Lakhs. You can compare the schemes of different banks on the basis of interest rates, eligibility of your B Schools, and collateral schemes. It’s best to avail of the Central Government scheme to get the advantage of zero interest rate till the moratorium period. You can save as much as 1.5 Lakhs through this scheme.
The procedure to secure an education loan is very simple and quick. All one needs to do is study and compare various schemes and choose the best for themselves. Right after induction, many branches of banks put forward their loan schemes in front of the batches.
Which is better, a PGDM in banking and financial services at IMI, Delhi or a PGDM general in LBSIM, Delhi?
I can speak with certainty that PGDM at LBSIM is a far better option than PGDM in Financial services at IMI Delhi. My brother is a recent pass out from LBSIM and the following highlight of the institute are based on his personal experiences
- The IIRF ranks LBSIM 25th among private colleges
- It has a spectacular ROI in terms of placements and fees
- LBSIM is famous for its student culture
- You can get an insight into various angles of the industry you will be dealing with in the future
- You can avail an abundance of opportunities through live projects and get to have a detailed experience in your specialization.
- The institute prioritizes a practical approach over theoretical knowledge through academic activities outside the classroom
- Various academic and non-academic clubs make the environment a friendly one
- The institute boasts of a 100% placement record
- It has an elaborate alumni network that is spread across top companies like Big Four’s, Arcesium, Marsh & Mclennan, Asian Paints, Crisil
- LBSIM collaborates with various international universities for its student exchange program. Some of them include Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Northern Illinois University, USA, European Higher School of Economics and Management, Bulgaria etc.
- A unique feature of the B School is its Bloomberg Terminal which is restricted to the top B Schools like IIM B, IIM C, and FMS only.
All these points clearly state that LBSIM is a very good choice for a PGDM program.
