<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Final Verdict</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well undoubtedly, after comparing and carefully examining all the overall parameters the final verdict definitely is in favour of XLRI, Jamshedpur. Comparatively the fees of XLRI is lower than SIBM, it also stands higher on ranking charts and even the number of visiting companies the average package offered and the highest package offered was also higher for XLRI.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, since SIBM comparatively had the number of FMCG companies visiting on campus if we go based on specializations then,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For those looking for marketing and operations – SIBM, Bangalore is an ideal choice</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For those targeting HRM and general management – XLRI should be the choice without any doubt.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For finance- Its almost similar for both but XLRI being higher in ranking should be the ideal choice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For IT – PUNE being the IT hub SIBM would be a better choice since it attracts more companies in the IT field.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For consulting- It is XLRI since it had all the major consulting firms coming on campus.</p>
