All the best!!

First of all congratulations for the options that you have received.

I will mention the details in brief about each institute whose information you have seeked for.

Christ University: with companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc. Visiting the campus to recruit students, the university is known to place 90% of the students . Highest package of the past year was INR 14 lpa and average was around INR 6.5 lpa. Located in the silicon city of India, this university provides quality education and gives good exposure to the students.

For more details about this university, you can check their website. The link is as follows :

Symbiosis School of Banking and Finance: Top recruiters include Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, J P Morgan Chase, etc.

This happens to be quite a niche Institute as it provides a specific course to the students in the field of banking and finance. Highest salary reported as of now is INR 9 lpa and average package happens to be somewhere around INR 7.14 lpa. The institute claims to provide 100% placement to the eligible students however sources have said that those eligible students comprise only 55-60% of the total student strength.

IPE Hyderabad : companies like Federal Bank, Delloite, Amazon have known to be recruiting students from the campus. Their average package is around 5.28 lakhs and highest being 9.3 lpa. Talking about quality, the curriculum isn't so diverse however 95% is the placement percentage and good marketing companies are known to visit the campus.

MDI Murshidabad: this institute is still in its nascent stage but is growing rapidly and will soon  emerge as  a tier-1 B-school. Its average placement is 8.56 lpa. Its curriculum is however, at par or close to what is being taught at MDI Gurgaon.

Looking into several factors like academic domains offered, pedagogy followed, external exposure, placements, ROI, learning environment, growth opportunities and comments from the existing students studying there, I believe Christ University is a good option.

But remember one thing, where ever you go, it's you and only you who have to mould yourself into a better individual, the institute is just a platform that will facilitate.

So, take a wise choice. All the best!!
