Hi, I am facing a dilemma of choosing between my 2 converts, SIBM Bangalore and NMIMS Hyderabad. I’d appreciate if anyone could help me taking this decision, noting that I aim to specialize in Marketing. Also, my family thinks the campus of SIBM B is not maintained enough and NMIMS H on the other hand is top notch, in terms of the infratructure. However, I feel choosing NMIMS H will be a step down. What do you guys think ?
