Which one is better, Xiss Ranchi finance or Army Institute of Management, Kolkata for an MBA?

One of my friends studied at XISS, I can share some details about this institution. XISS has still not been able to make its name among the top colleges of India despite being such an old institute.

Being an average college, it has average placements and in fact, every student doesn't get placed.
You will also find politics and discrimination in XISS among students during the placements.
It doesn't provide required exposure to MBA students which is very important for their careers.
The campus is very small and there are no hostels available inside the campus.
XISS is located in Ranchi which is a disadvantage as the city is not developed and very few facilities available when compared to bigger cities like Delhi, Bangalore, etc.
XISS has a reservation system and 50% of the seats are reserved for Christian SC/ST students. Their fees are also lesser than general category students.
The students from backward caste comprise almost 70% of the total students in this college.

It will be better to avoid XISS and take admission in other B-schools like Army Institute of Management, Kolkata which might provide better facilities and placement opportunities to its students. Do thorough research before making a decision.
