I have a few friends from ISB&M Pune, so I can give you some ideas about the institute. It is a brilliant choice for anyone who is looking forward to pursuing their PGDM course.

• There is a 100% placement guarantee and the placement stats, so far have been excellent. According to the recent placement statistics, the highest and average CTC offered at the institute are 7.40 LPA and 16 LPA.
• On top of that, you can also go through the list of notable alumni from ISB&M. These people currently are in a great position, working for some of the most reputed and successful brands.

You can definitely keep ISB&M Pune as a valid option for your PGDM. For information, regarding PIBM, talk to the alumni and go through the official website.

The PIBM program in Pune is an especially good option because it is the flagship program of the college. One of my friends is studying there. According to her, you should explore the option of pursuing a PGDM from PIBM Pune. Both career and life possibilities will open up.

The PIBM Pune Postgraduate Diploma in Management program is a degree program designed by corporate professionals, for corporate professionals. The program gives you practical exposure through live projects, internships, industry visits, and corporate interaction.

If you are thinking about attending a lower-tier business school, you will find that your job options, salaries, and career opportunities may decrease. Do not use money and bank loans to get just a degree in an uncertain job profile. Choose wisely before making any decision.

BIMM, Pune is the best choice among all these colleges.

BIMM Pune:

The college focuses not only on making your corporate world ready but also on imparting lifetime know-how on how to survive and have a progressive corporate life along with a disciplined personal life. A strong, competitive environment is maintained in the college by Dr. Balasubramanium, who is himself an ex-army officer.

The academic curriculum of the college is excellent and pressure-packed. In the duration of two years, there is not a single holiday given to the students.

The total number of seats in the college is approx. 900. So, if you have good academic records and good communication skills, you will learn a lot under army discipline and apparently, get placed with a good package. But, if you are average, ISB & M, Pune will be a better college for you.

ISB&M:

The methodology of management education is different at ISB & M, Pune. Ex- Placement Director of XLRI, Jamshedpur, and former Director of SIBM, Pune, Dr. Promod Kumar is the Chairman of ISB & M, Pune. He has a thorough knowledge of how the corporate world works. A pseudo corporate environment is created in the college campus and everything is taught about the practical corporate culture, from survival to growth along with certain other factors. This technique can be called applied corporate culture.

ISB & M, Pune’s applied corporate culture is great but not meant for everybody. The second position would be apt for the academics of this college. The student intake is only 300.

If you are someone who is preparing for MAT, I would suggest you only prepare for these two colleges of Pune because the methods of teaching at these institutions is at par with the demand of the corporate culture, and also, these institutions keep a scope of adapting to changes as time and again.

My sister is currently pursuing her Masters from PIBM Pune. She never had any complaints about the Girl's hostel. Answering your question, the girl's hostel at PIBM Pune is overall satisfactory. The hostel is clean and hygienic. Hostel rules are very strict and follow all safety guidelines.

PIBM is the best among the given options. The following are the reasons.

• PIBM is the most active B-School among all the mentioned. They have packed extra-curricular activities that develop the students holistically.
• It conducts various programs and events at the campus. Some of these include providing profile-based pieces of training to the students at the time of placement season, having a corporate interface, communication & soft skills training, winter internship program, and business-oriented programs.
• Industrial visits are also arranged by the institute.

The fee and placement details for the institute mentioned are below.

Overall, PIBM is an excellent choice among all. It makes the students industry-ready by developing them as per the industry demand.

PIBM, Pune, and Sinhgad Institute of Management are some of the top reputed B-schools in India. Both the colleges mentioned above have their own advantages and disadvantages but it entirely depends on your capabilities.

However, if you have to choose a college, go for PIBM. For my sister’s admission, we visited both colleges but she was not satisfied with the curriculum. Hence, if you want to look at the colleges at the same level, you can opt for the following colleges:

• Pune University (PUMBA) - It has the lowest fees for which the ROI will be good. PUMBA has an excellent faculty.
• Indira Institute of Management Pune - It has an amazing brand value. The companies participating in their placement drive offered an average salary package ranging from 8-9 LPA.
• PIBM and Sinhgad - Both are good colleges but their fees are comparatively higher than usual. ROI is average. As the salary package offered ranges from 3-4 LPA.

Finally, it is up to you and where your preferences lie. Make a list of what you are looking for in a management college, compare them, and then come to a conclusion. This choice will shape your career ahead.

Both of the mentioned colleges are good but amongst the two, RIIM is far better when compared with PIBM in Pune. In terms of the fee structure, there is a huge difference between both colleges. The fee structure offered by RIIMs is less than PIBM.

• At RIIM, practical based methods are used for teaching purposes.
• The placement cell of the college does its job perfectly in enhancing the personality and skills of the students.
• RIIM Pune concentrates on improving the entrepreneurial skills of the students enrolled in the MBA Programs.
• Companies offer attractive packages during the recruitment of MBA students.
• The college provides the students with very good knowledge about the core details of the finance sector.

RIIM Pune offers the following Digital Marketing Certifications in affiliation with IIM Kozhikode: Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Optimization, Email Marketing, Google Ad words, Google Analytics, PPC & Mobile Marketing.

RIIM Pune also offers Value-Added Programs like SAP (Basic), Advance Excel, Business Analytics, Six Sigma, IT Skills from Microsoft, workshops at National Stock Exchange.

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.
