Well MBA india vs MiM is a different discussion all together, but i can help you out with the MBA vs MiM dilemma.
Well i struggled through this dilemma when i was just graduating out of engineering college in 2012. I had heard about the MiM at that time, found the degree to be really interesting but then somehow in the rush of placements and the charm of a new job, forgot all about it.
Fast forward 2013, after about 1.5 years of working in a well respected company doing a core engineering job, i was utterly frustrated and really wanted to switch into a management role, as lets face it......that is the way to go right....engineering and then the MBA. That's how things have always been. Somehow by luck i came upon this batch mate of mine who had joined ESCP's MiM program in 2013 and was doing really well( currently interning in a bank in Germany). This got me thinking and i started some REAL research into the MiM degree, and well here is what i found:
1) Granted the MiM is a relatively new degree, BUT it has been pretty popular in European circles for the past 20 years. Many colleges offer it as their flagship degrees and it is very very popular in Europe with many US colleges such as Duke Fuqua & MIT also offering it, so yes MiM is coming up strong.
2) I have been a student now at ESCP for one year and i can truly say, it has been the best experience of my life. The courses are amazing, the school is great, faculty is well educated and you have tons of opportunities to get into any field. Compared to MBA in India, there are hardly any differences. If you did not know, the PGDM offered by the IIM's are very much similar to the MiM, and they are ranked with the MiM degrees in Financial Times rankings.
I have cousins in XLRI, a number of friends in IIM's and as far as i can see, the course material has hardly any difference. You study almost the same subjects, yes of course most of these subjects have a more European focus.
3) An MBA in the west is only for people with a hefty amount of work experience (4-5 years plus). The average MBA age is 28 years in many colleges. Also for a number of big companies, high quality management education provided is of much more value that just the MBA tag. We have all top companies may it be McKinsey, BCG, P&G, KPMG, Reckitt Beckinser coming up and actively recruiting students from our school.
Here i must mention that i am talking about the top MiM schools here ( at least the top 20 in the rankings) as you go below the food chain, of course the quality of companies coming in decreases.
4) From my experience the students at ESCP or HEC or LBS for that matter, come from a variety of backgrounds, a huge range of ages from 20 to 27!! additionally we have people with no work experience to over 3 years of work experience. So the notion that MiM is only for people with No Experience is pretty false. I myself went in with almost 2 years of work ex. So you can get in safely with 3 years work ex too, though over that amount i would suggest going for a MBA

There are some other differences too, you can check out

As for which is easier to get into well that is debatable, if you are looking only at India well i would say it is harder to get into the top IIM's of course because of the heavy competition in the CAT exams and the similarity of Indian profiles. But for college below the top 5 mark i can draw a comparison with the top 15 MiM schools, which are very picky about the people the choose and have a pretty strict process of admission with Interviews, Lors, Essays and of course a GMAT above 680. Schools usually are very picky about the composition of students in the batch, so they have caps on the intake per nationality. But if you have a good profile and good essays your chances of admission are relatively high.
Hope i was able to clear some doubts, let me know if i can help more.
