Whenever you are comparing different B-Schools keep the following things in mind :
1. What is your preference stream of study, does that college is well known for that stream?
2. What is the placement statistics relative to the fees paid? Are you concerned about ROI or you are happy to take cut off in placements?
3. What value apart from monetary you can get out of the college? For eg: advantages of a serene campus, advantages of a campus within the city etc. The above three colleges are good in their own accord. In many platforms you will get a mixed response regarding the choice. -
