MDI G vs XLRI Delhi? What to choose!
I was in the same boat last year, I took XLRI Delhi for my reasons and don't regret it!
Comparision:
Brand: XLRI. Brand is too strong; I have worked in corporate before my MBA and now in my summers too. People recognise and respect XLRI.
Alumni: XLRI has a common alumni network & meets for both campuses; here, XLRI alums are in a comparatively better position than MDI-G alums ("XL Mafia")
Placements: The lower tail in MDI suffers a bit less than at XLRI Delhi, JSR being the primary campus. Similarly, the upper tail in XLRI Delhi gets many more opportunities like MBB, Frontend IB roles (JPMC, Deutsche, DE Shaw), which mostly come for back-end roles at MDI.
Campus Location: MDI G has the upper hand; it's located next to the cyber hub. XL Delhi is in the middle of farms.
From my observations, if you have decent academics (>8/8/8) and a good brand on your CV, you will get decent opportunities in XL Delhi!
Bias in placements between JSR and Delhi: Yes, mostly from MBB and top FMCG companies ( Nestle, Colgate), the rest are hired in good numbers from both campuses. Sometimes more from Delhi too!
