Which is better for an MBA (finance), ITM Navi Mumbai, or XIME Bangalore?

Most of my friends are doing pretty well after graduating from XIME Bangalore. In my opinion, you really do not need to compare the two. Here are some reasons why:

Pros:

• XIME has a strong alumni network in the IT industry.
• Most of these are scattered throughout fortune 500 companies, startups and some are even entrepreneurs.
• You can even get in touch with them via online groups.
• Most of the professors are well versed in their fields.
• You will of course find mediocre ones as well but there are more good ones than them.
• Dr. Philip, the founder, who is an ex IIM Bangalore dean is very well professionally connected.
• The college has a number of intercollegiate competitions and the tuition fees are not that high either.
• You will also get a lot of international exposure.
• You will get to interact with students from Latin America, USA, Europe, etc. You can also try to bag an international internship which is generally funded by college.

Cons:

• The college still has to develop its brand name due to which it is not that well known in the industry.
• The campus life is not that great as the authorities are quite strict and it almost feels like school.

XIME is a good institution. You get good ROI and they also have good ethics and try to give you a fair chance at things. You will also have to put in effort from your end. Good luck.
