If I had an option to choose between XIME Bangalore, ISB&M Nande and BIMM Sri Balaji Society than what would be the best option?
I've scored 78.11percentile in CMAT and from commerce background want to pursue MBA in finance. Answer in terms of placements and ROI.

Hello Vatsal,
I would rank these colleges-
1. XIME Bangalore
2. BIMM Pune
3. ISB&M Nande
I would compare only XIME & BIMM
Fees of BIMM is lesser than XIME Bangalore, however, exposure & opportunities in XIME is better than BIMM. In Sri Balaji Society there are four campuses which comprises of 1000 students, so the placements there is centralized. On the other hand XIME has three campuses, in all around 350 students in a batch. In XIME also placements are centralized but the strength is less and the other advantage is the location. Bangalore being the start up hub, the students get plethora of opportunities.
Overall, my advice would be XIME...more -
BIMM is the best.
Reasons:
1) Infrastructure (Audi, 6 computer labs, amazing big library)
2) Faculty: experienced professionals teaches us. We have faculty having 20+ years of experience in industry.
3) Curriculum: updated course every year. As per the requirement of industry
4) Placement: marketing batch is almost done with the highest of 14 and the lowest 4.5 lac pkg. Finance, operations, analytics, systems 70% students placed from PKG ranging from 5.5 to 14 lac with avg of 6.75
5) Best in terms of ROI.
6) You will be have 200+ guest lecture from industry from VP's to directors visiting college. And sharing their experience.
7) 2nd best...more -
