Which is better, IIT Roorkee MBA or XIMB BM?

Last year, my sister was in similar confusion when she was asked to choose between IIT Roorkee and XIMB BM for her MBA. Torn between the two, she decided to do her part of the research on the basis of important parameters like roles offered, placement figures, batch size, and ROI. 

Here are a few highlights from the research she conducted and the conclusions she drew:

• IIT Roorkee enjoys a good reputation for its MBA program and has given birth to many successful managers.
• Some of the great roles offered at IIT Roorkee that set it apart from others are product management, marketing management, and financial analysis among many others.
• The small batch size of 66 students at IIT Roorkee improves student-student relations as well as faculty-student relations creating a family-like bond while the huge batch size of 356 students at XIMB BM is a major problem.
• IIT Roorkee enjoys a legacy of around 175 years and thus has better infrastructure and a broader alumni base than XIMB BM.
• XIMB BM MBA fee is around INR 20 Lakhs whereas IIT Roorkee MBA fees are around INR 9.5 Lakhs which is almost half. Compared with the average placements, IIT Roorkee offers a better ROI than XIMB BM.
