Hello Jyoti,
There are few things which need to be keep in mind before joining a course from any institute.
1. Are you getting a PGD or MBA Degree? Although, they are considered equivalent but technically both are different and MBA have more value than any PGD.
2. Is your University recognized? UGC, DEB and AIU are basic recognition required.
3. What flexibility you are getting? App based learning, live interactive lectures and career advisory are basic facilities.
4. Placement Support provided or not? Straight and forward saying no university can guarantee your placement, as companies pay for skills not for Degree you are holding.
Welingkar and IMT, both are providing you with a PG Diploma as they are just institutes. So, better to go with a university rather than institute.

Hi Ayush,
There are 2 ways by which you can get admission in MBA.
One is thru CAP round which is MMS (Mahrashtra). Course is decide by govt and cant be modified.
One is thru GD and PI which is PGDM. College can tweak it as per requirement. More flexibility and good learning.
All the best

One of the major criteria is entrance exam scores. However, they also consider your profile based on your work experience and previous academics score. But a major weightage is given to entrance exam scores during the first round (cut off). Work experience and academic as well as extra curricular achievement are given more weightage in the second round.
