If you want certain features like high-quality infrastructure, a diverse student body, or a wonderful location, BIM may not be the best choice.
However, BIM is a good choice if you want to learn management in its purest form, study with famous professors, have a high return on investment, experience southern Indian culture, enjoy a variety of extracurricular events & an active nightlife, and have great job opportunities, including at McKinsey, Asian Paints, and E&Y. BIM as a business school is great, but it may not suit everyone.
Student strength, ROI, average package, campus, faculty-student ratio, alumni base, and placements determine the candidate's college choice.
Due to its low student population and one-year flagship programme, the Great Lakes Institute of Management (GLIM) is the top college. GLIM also attracts prominent firms for placements. If the candidate can afford it, they should select it.
T.A.pai Management Institute (TAPMI) has a gorgeous campus and fun classes, however its ROI is lower than other universities. Due to the huge student intake, not everyone may find a favorable placement.
Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) Trichy boasts a low tuition, strong alumni, and high placements at McKinsey and Asian Paints. For individuals interested in South Indian culture, BIM boasts a great faculty-student ratio.
SIMSR's average package is 10 LPA. However, those with more than two years of experience may feel underpaid.
