One of my close friends is studying MBA from BIMM Pune. Unquestionably, BIMM Pune is considered among the top 11 B-schools by TOI B-School Survey.

The fee of BIMM has been kept nominal so that the students from all financial backgrounds can take admission. Thus, the college provides a good ROI.

The fee structure for 2021-23 are as follows:

Moreover, the fees of all the four institutes of BIMM are quite similar but differs in the specializations selected.

For an MBA in marketing, PIBM is definitely a better option than BIMM. The points below state some of the key highlights of PIBM, along with some advantages and disadvantages of both the institutes, which will support the choice.

• PGDM from PIBM is a much better choice than that of BIMM, having a guarantee of a secured future after passing out of the institute.
• PIBM provides the best available training in separate sessions, which is one of the most vital aspects required to get a good placement in MNCs. In such training sessions, every individual is mentored with utmost care and personal assistance methods.
• Guest lecture sessions are organized by the institute in which mentors from the corporate world visit and guide the students.
• Throughout the sessions, you will be made to go through several Industrial visits, winter and summer internships, live projects, and assignments. This will offer proper practical knowledge, be interactive, and have good exposure to the corporate world.
• Various students have been offered PPOs by top companies. In the in-campus placement, every student in PIBM is easily placed, being well trained through the mock GD and PI classes.
• PIBM does not maximize seats in its batches. The total number of seats available in the institute is limited, which decreases the competition in placement. Due to this low competition in placement, students need not work hard for their preparation.

Talking about BIMM, there are some disadvantages that make it the less preferred option among the two. The main problem faced is the batch size, which is huge. There is a lot of competition in the placement of BIMM just because of this reason. The faculties in BIMM do not pay as much personal attention as required for individual students. This is also an effect of the huge batch size.

Therefore, considering all the points stated above, it is clear that PIBM is definitely a better choice, having a much better training facility and placement than BIMM.
