Hi Sonaal,
Both the institutes, NDIM and XIIME 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 two. 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.
I hope this information helps. Please, feel free to revert.
Wish you luck.

Entrance exam scores are to set up eligibilty. They dont have much weightage as compared to GD-PI rounds, when it comes to selection. Also your acads and extra curriculars will matter. Also if you have work ex than it will matter too.
As for placements, college does handle the charges, but in some cases you might have to take care of charges yourself.

Many students prefer XIME bangalore as its the older one between the 2 and established. But XIME kochi being the newer one has better facilities. XIME bangalore does get more weightage in decisions and placements. Kochi isnt too bad but try for bangalore.

Exact weightage isnt mentioned but GD-PI have more weightage than the entrance scores. Entrance scores only are to establish eligibility. Final selection will be based on GD-PI and previous performances in acads like grad and 10th and 12th. Work ex and extra curriculars also are given weightage.

XIME kochi is good but it being a new campus doesnt get much preference by the recruiters. A campus needs to be 5 years old for the top companies to start recruiting. Thats their policy. This being the 4th year so can expect placemenst to be good. And the placements generally happen together for bangalore and kochi.

You need to answer the entrance exams. You can answer either CAT,XAT,CMAT,MAT. The cutoff was 70%tile this year. next year it might go up. Also you need to have minimum of 50% in graduation,10th and 12th. Work ex is always preferred. After this, you must fill in the application form and send it. The shortlist for GD-PI rounds will be sent. After the GD-PI rounds, a final merit list will be made.
Placements are good, highest being 10.5 and avg of 6-7.
