Should you pick MBA at IMS DAVV Indore?
This course suits students who want a low fee government MBA in Indore and a job in sales, marketing or banking.
Pick it if:
You want a sales or marketing job: Deloitte, Aditya Birla Group, ITC, Nestle and Godrej come back to this campus every year.
You want to study in a business city: Indore is the trade capital of Madhya Pradesh, so most internships come from firms in the city.
Your family can pay only in parts: the fee is charged semester by semester, so nothing is due in one go.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a big first offer: the average pay sits far below the highest offer, so most of the batch leaves with a mid level job.
You want a large private campus: this is one department inside a state university, and the same few firms hire here each year.
You will wait for the last round: left over seats go in the college level round in August, and the seat is gone if you report late.
You want to study while working: this course is full time with classes on campus, and the Executive MBA here is a separate programme.
Counsellor's advice
If your merit rank clears the list for your category, take the seat: the fee here is among the lowest in Indore. If you are short by a few places, sign up for the college level round before it closes.

In short
PIMR charges much more for a small gain in the highest offer, and its average pay is about the same. If you want the lower fee, take this seat; if you want a private campus with more recruiters, take PIMR.
In short
IPS Academy has far more seats, so a weaker merit rank still gets a seat there, but the fee is higher and the pay lower. If the merit list here does not reach you, keep IPS Academy as the backup.
In short
Shri Vaishnav costs a little less and has more seats, but it pays less on average and its highest offer is smaller. If you get a seat here, take it and keep Shri Vaishnav as the backup.
In short
IIPS charges the same fee inside the same university and pays a little more, but it does not publish its seat count. If both give you a seat, pick the specialisation you want to work in.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
