IBS Gurgaon.
I personally believe that in order to judge any college, you can do so by knowing 2 things- ROI and Placements. The fees of this college is only Rs. 7 lakhs and the there is an average package of Rs. 5-6 lakhs.
There are also international packages which do offers more than Rs 15 lakhs including CTC. There are many reputed companies which do come to IBS Gurgaon. Big 4's, do come to Ibs gurgaon every year. Companies like Oyo rooms,Expedia,CB Richards,Exponential,Copal Amba,Proctivity,Thomas International along with many others do come to Ibs gurgaon.
In addition to that,IBS Gurgaon also provides a degree of PGPM which includes both the components of MBA and PGDM and accordingly it focuses more on imparting the practical knowledge among students.
Although all colleges are good but it depends upon the person to person how skilled he or she is.So I would request you to decide any particular college on the basis of ROI and placements.

Dear Vicky,
All the three institutes mentioned by you are equally good and thus it will be very difficult to tell which one will be the best option. However, we can help you with the parameters that you can keep in mind while choosing an institute among the three. You can consider the below parameters :
1) Faculty,
2) Affiliation / Recognition
3) Course Material,
4) Quality Education,
5) Fees
6) Infrastructure
7) Success Rate.
8) Placement
9) Top recruiting companies.
Also, if possible go through the alumni speak section to get an idea what the alumni thinks about the institute.

PGPM is a Post Graduate Programme in Management which is according to the current trends of an industry. PGPM was basically introduced to develop the skills and abilities among students so that they can apply management theories and concepts to the day to day problems of business and industry. Not only IBS, but several other colleges like IIM, MDI etc. do provide PGPM degree.
Secondly, for any college, you should look for the better ROI(Return on Investments). The fees for IBS Mumbai is Rs. 7,25,000 and as far as I am concerned, the average package of IBS Mumbai is around 6-7 lakhs including CTC.
In addition to that, the scope for jobs is far better in Mumbai since it is the financial capital of India.
