Having friends in both the colleges, I can suggest you go for RIIM Pune. It is a better choice, considering some of the most important factors like return on investment, quality of education, placement, affiliation, and course curriculum.
RIIM Pune and ISMS are two famous institutes for MBA in Pune, both being quite good in their fields over the years. But, RIIM is somewhat surpassing the other in most of the essential aspects.

My cousin did her international MBA from ISMS College in Pune. She stays in Pune which is also known as the 'Oxford of the East', so it was convenient and befitting for her as far as location goes. ISMS Pune MBA has a 100% placement rate and recruiters from TCL, Wipro, Accenture, and other top companies come for the placement process.
