Which MBA college is better, specifically for MBA-HR, Narsee Monjee (NMIMS) Mumbai or XIMB, Bhuvaneshwar?

You should definitely choose NMIMS Mumbai. A number of people would be of the opinion that XIMB HR is good but the change in the brand name from XIMB HR to XaHR has adversely affected the placements and compared to this, NMIMS Mumbai HR is growing extremely well in the case of placements.

You can compare the two colleges on the following points:

• Location: Mumbai is the best city to do your MBA from. The city has a lot to offer in terms of growth in life and you will not be able to learn like this in a place like Bhuvaneshwar. You will also have better live project opportunities, a good corporate interface and this is where NMIMS trumps XIMB.
• Batch size: NMIMS has a smaller batch size of 60 students as compared to the 120 student batch that XIMB has. NMIMS takes students on the basis of merit whereas XIMB has a few reservations as well.
• CTC: XIMB may have lower CTC due to higher batch size and NMIMS has a better average.

A lot of the current XIMB HR students will advise you to not go for XIMB HR. It does have lower fees but NMIMS has many more advantages that offset this parameter. Overall, NMIMS has many better profiles to offer as compared to XIMB.

If you are stuck in this dilemma, you should surely go ahead and opt for HR at NMIMS Mumbai.
