IMT is indeed a brand name but unfortunately, the brand's credibility is applicable only to IMT Ghaziabad. The other campuses carry very little brand worth and legacy of IMT. If there is an IMT that is slightly near to comparison then it is IMT Hyderabad. The other campuses are new and lack recognition. IMT Hyderabad campus is visited by some extremely reputed local companies thereby offering better placement opportunities. Some institutes that give an edge to IMT Hyderabad in Hyderabad itself are  ASB (Ashoka School of Business) Hyderabad, NMIMS SIBM Hyderabad Business School ASB offers dual specialization and good placement at only INR 6.9 Lacs. The ROI period is only around a year.

You should first figure out if you are planning to join the college for placements or if you actually wish to improve yourself. 10 years back, a lot of students from IMT Nagpur did not get placements and jobs. It does not mean that you will not get placed at all. You will ultimately get a job but you should remember that ultimately what will help you is what you have learned during your degree. Your focus should be on your teachers as they will ensure that your base concepts are good and jobs will keep coming later in your life.
