All three colleges are on top and choosing one among three is not easy. But I can give you some ideas about them as I have friends studying at these institutes. TISS is one of the most reputed colleges for HRM courses in the country. The top two institutes for HR programs are XLRI and 2nd is TISS. XLRI holds first place due to its history and huge batch size and placements.

• TISS is growing fast but still doesn’t have the same presence as XLRI has.
• TISS though has the advantage of a very small batch size compared to XLRI, which means lesser competition.
• And again TISS is at Bombay while XLRI is at Jamshedpur. I would say TISS is still a very good option for aspirants interested in HR.

NITIE and SOM are the top two colleges in India for operations and supply chain profiles with NITIE being the clear number 1.

• Long history and a huge batch size result in lots of senior supply chain managers from NITIE across various companies.
• On the other hand, though 20 years old, SOM was upgraded only recently, to 120 batch size from earlier 60.Students are getting to the top but SOM does not have the same presence as NITIE.
• NITIE has more recruiting companies with cushy pay packages as compared to SOM. Although SOM is improving its placement numbers rapidly.
• SOM does boast of elegant IIT B infrastructure and less batch size and hence, lesser competition due to smaller batches.
• But NITIE would give you more options in terms of placements.

So my preference order will be the following.

TISS (HR) > NITIE (Operations & SCM) > SJMSOM (Finance & others)

So, choose wisely based on your preferred domain. And in case you are interested in Marketing, both NITIE & SJMSOM are equally good.

I think I can give you some insight regarding NITIE and SJMSOM since I have friends from both institutes. Both are nearly identical, however, SJMSOM may be a better choice because NITIE promotes itself as an Operations majors institution, whereas SJMSOM promises to cover all fields. As a result, you may have more prospects in the finance industry at SJMSOM than at NITIE.

The table below has a brief comparison of the two institutes. 

So, going by the above-mentioned factors, I will say SJMSOM may be a better alternative for Finance.

Both SJMSOM and IIM Indore are distinguished B-Schools in this league. IIM is a brand name on its own and offers certain perks that make it a better choice. 

• Specialization: SJMSOM is known for its Operations and IT/Analytics/Consulting. Most of the students remain confused in choosing their specialization and tend to delve into their options at the end of their first year. This can be quite helpful if you want to explore your options in the first year and then choose a specialization. 
• Placements: The factor that affects placements is the batch size. The less the batch size the more efficiently and steadily the placements are done with. Often IIM Indore completes their placement before SJMSOM and other IIMs. However, the competition at IIM Indore is high. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at SJMSOM and IIM Indore is 20 LPA and 23 LPA. 
• Campus: IIM Indore has a splendid campus situated out of the city. The campus is huge and is one of the best campuses in India. At SJMSOM, the campus is to be shared with engineering students. However, this is not much of a problem for students. IIM Indore also provides more extracurricular opportunities.

Hopefully, this would be helpful for you in making the right choice.

Definitely, both the B-Schools are great but IIMK should be your first choice. Unless we are discussing Operation then I would advise you to opt for SJMSOM.

You will have trouble with placements due to your average academics as most of your peers will have better academic records. You will always get opportunities to make your profile better. You can improve your profile by winning competitions, holding significant PORs, and getting an excellent grade in your MBA programme. 

Even if you don’t get your desired placement, you can excel in the job and leverage your performance in the corporate world along with the IIM alumni network on your side. That way you will be able to fetch better opportunities a few years later. 

Here are the recent placement highlights for the institutes. 

IIM Kozhikode definitely offers certain advantages which makes it a superior choice. 

IIT Bombay has a brand name for engineering, but NITIE is a prominent brand name for management engineers. NITIE is anytime better than IIT Bombay. Following are the reasons for the same:

• NITIE has a strong industry relation and reputation.
• The alumni of NITIE are widespread and stronger than IIT Bombay. They are well-groomed and successful.
• The fee and placement details are below.

• The top companies coming for recruitment are EY, IDFC First, Colgate, ETLI, P&G, L&T, Wipro, Accenture Technologies, GE, Siemens, Hero MotorCorp, Pidilite, Mahindra and Mahindra, ABFRL, Exide, TCS, Cognizant, Pernod Richard, and more.

Overall, as per the above analysis, NITIE Mumbai is a better choice. Even the return on investment is higher than IIT Bombay.

After doing some research on the internet, I would say that NITIE, SJMSOM, and IIM-I have their own pros and cons. 

• Students with good academic records prefer to join IIM Indore rather than NITIE and SJMSOM. 
• But there will be more opportunities available during the summer placement in NITIE and SJMSOM. 
• In order to get a good placement in the final year, you must convert the opportunity into PPO/PPI.
• If you are more inclined towards marketing and finance then IIM Indore will be good for you, as it will provide better opportunities than NITIE and SJMSOM.
• If you are passionate about Supply chain and Operations then NITIE is the place to be.
• NITIE being in the financial capital of India offers a location advantage as compared to IIM Indore.

The below table can provide you with the basic information about them.

Therefore, choosing NITIE, SJMSOM or IIM Indore depends on you and in which field you want to make your career. It will be completely your decision, so play along your strengths.
