Hey guys, I am going through a conundrum and reaching out to the community here for some advice. I have been admitted to both XLRI and IIM Indore for their 1-year programs. Fortunately (or unfortunately!), I need to choose between the two

So, I started researching, but to my surprise, there's no clear winner still. I know that can't be true. There's just not enough information about both of them (at least as far as I saw) that can help a candidate make an informed decision. These programs (and IPMX) are not discussed as much as ISB/ABC, and understandably so. However, I know a few others who are in a similar situation. I am re-starting this thread to shed some light on this, with the hope that there are folks out there who went through similar confusion in the past or admission experts who have been asked this before. If you are one of those, can you please share your perspectives? My immediate goal is to join business/operations consulting roles in the big 4 or other corporate houses. To begin with, I am sharing what I have gathered and thought about so far, Common aspects: Great faculty Curriculum Taught on the Campus Campus facilities and infrastructure Equal Brand value Differentiators: IIM Indore EPGP Industry consulting module - an opportunity to gear up for consulting interviews International immersion at the famous SDA Bocconi Smaller batch size - lesser competition Location, as Indore is home to few major industries XLRI PGDM(GM): Bigger batch size - leaves room for more diversity and peer-to-peer learning, slightly younger cohort. Placement assistance and career development services. Better ROI compared to Indore, Indore fee (including the cost of International immersion) is slightly higher. Active clubs and more events. Bigger Alumni since it's one of the oldest programs. Slightly better student-to-faculty ratio (Indore can have up to 2000 students in campus from all courses).
