What Students Actually Say

IFTM Student (2nd year MBA):
“I chose IFTM because of fees. Saved ₹50,000 compared to TMU. Placements are decent, got ₹4 LPA in HDFC Bank. Infrastructure could be better, but it’s okay. No regrets.”

TMU Student (2nd year MBA):
“TMU campus is genuinely good. AC classrooms, better hostel, more events. Fees are higher but worth it for the experience. Got placed at ₹5.2 LPA in TCS. Happy with my choice.”

IFTM Student (Alumni, working 2 years):
“After 2 years of working, college name doesn’t matter. What matters is what you learned and how you perform. IFTM gave me decent education at affordable cost. That’s all that matters.”

TMU Student (Alumni, working 3 years):
“TMU’s better industry connections helped during placements. Got internship at Genpact through college, which converted to full-time job. Better network is worth the extra fees.”

Final Verdict

For most students: IFTM is the better choice. Lower fees, similar placements, faster ROI. Unless you really value infrastructure and campus life, save the ₹40,000-50,000.

For students who can afford it: TMU is worth the extra cost. Better infrastructure, slightly better placements, more industry exposure. The ₹60,000 higher average salary recovers the extra fees in first year.

For budget-conscious students: IFTM, no question. Or check other MBA colleges in Moradabad like Invertis or Accurate for even lower fees.

For students wanting best campus life: TMU wins. Bigger campus, better facilities, more events.

Both are good colleges. You won’t go wrong with either. Pick based on your budget and priorities, not because someone said one is “better.”

Start your MBA admission process early, apply to both, and see which one offers better scholarship. That might make your decision easier.
