IRMA has a legacy of nearly 40 years. The Institute is distinctive from the word go. The mission of promoting sustainable and equitable socio-economic development of rural people through professional management is itself different. Also, we are complete value-for-money with our return on investment among the best in the country and the average salary being close to Rs. 12 Lacs. IRMA attracts organizations from sectors as varied as Cooperatives/Producers Collectives like GCMMF (cooperative body managing the Amul brand) to Multinational and national agribusiness corporations like Tolaram, Afriventures, Cummins, Cargill, ITC, to grassroots development organizations like the Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (JEEVIKA). We are the most preferred amongst the rural management schools and in the top few amongst mainstream management schools in the country.

To be fair to both the colleges and coming from a completely unbiased third person point of view, IMT has great placements for the top 30% of the batch.
Campus life at MICA is known to be better, for all the right reasons. There is more scope to explore extracurriculars and sports and the sense of community is much stronger. Learning is honestly to each his own, MICA's learning is known to be more stimulating and all-rounders, while IMT's learning is more MBA focused. Brand equity
IMT is a better-known brand than MICA, but MICA garners more respect in the industry by people who know about marketing and advertising, basically the insiders.

Prepare for and perform well in CAT/XAT/GMAT. MICA has increased the weightage of these exams to 50% now in the entrance part so it will make a lot of difference.
Perform well in MICAT. Work on your communication skills. It is not a pre-requisite, but it definitely helps.
Build your CV to improve your chances. Since you cannot do much about your school and undergraduate now, you can focus on doing internships or courses that make for interesting stories.

Hello Aarthi,
Talking about academics, MBA is all about 75% self-learning and 25% academic learning. So, I don't think it really matters, because at the end, you need to study by your own and then your knowledge plays a crucial role. JBIMS has a very experienced faculty members and most of them are big shot industrialist. Before exposure and placement, your interest is important. All 3 institutes are at top in their field JBIMS is majorly known for finance, marketing is also good there. MICA is all about marketing and media & entertainment. I don't have much idea about XIMB. JBIMS is located in financial hub of the country which gives an extra benefits for finance aspirants. MICA has a good campus life and marketing exposure. Talking about placements, Anagha has mentioned it in above answers. Thanks.
