Pune Institute of Business Management

Admission: Some teachers here act like they're the smartest people in the world. They treat students and parents badly. They paint a scary picture of working in a company, making you feel like a robot. And guess what? They'll blame you for being robotic and say companies don't like PIBM students. Then you have to meet with the college big shots. It's not cool.

Placement: Around 40% of students still don't have jobs. They said the highest salary was 6 LPA but it's actually 5 LPA plus incentives. Companies like Reckitt Benckiser and Marico didn't show up for placements. The college blames students a lot. They didn't follow up with companies that didn't come. Internship placements are good, but some internships have no work. Not all internship companies come for placements. Most recruiting companies are startups and offer fake roles with high salaries. It's better to look for similar roles in other good colleges.

Campus: The college Wi-Fi blocks Youtube, which is ironic because teachers use Youtube for teaching. Teachers can access it, but students can't. The college thinks Youtube will harm our careers. The mess food is terrible. We sometimes find cockroaches in it, and I've experienced this myself. At first, the food seems good to attract students, but then it gets worse with uncooked food, bugs, and even sand sometimes. The hostel management is strict - they fine you if you're late after 9:30, even on weekends. They charge for every little mistake. The medical facility is basically nonexistent. They only have a small box of medicine that's often empty. The game room is nice, but we don't get much time to use it. The college stresses us out by starting early in the morning and ending late at night, even if we have no classes. They won't let us leave on our own, forcing us to stay unnecessarily. The chairman's sessions are a waste of time. He talks a lot but does nothing. It seems like he only cares about money, which is why many good faculty members have left.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful, know their stuff, and have all the right qualifications. They all have CA and CFA degrees. The course content is spot on and gets us ready for the industry. Exams each semester aren't too tough because the teachers make learning a breeze.

Placement: Most of us got placed before finishing the degree. The highest salary offered is 17 LPA and the lowest is 4.5 LPA. On average, we're looking at around 7 LPA. Companies like Deloitte, Grant Thornton, and Federal Bank come for recruitment. Everyone in our batch landed internships at top companies like BNY Mellon. We mostly got roles as financial analysts.

Campus: The hostel needs some upgrades. Wi-Fi is there in rooms, but the rooms aren't great. Food is okay, and the canteen is good. There's medical help round the clock, but sports facilities are just okay.

Campus: The college is still building its infrastructure, but the wi-fi is good and the library has lots of books. The food and hostel facilities are better than average. Overall, the other facilities are also above average. I believe that over time, it will become even better because the college is determined to improve.

Admission: The teachers at our college are awesome. They explain things really well and always help with any questions we have. The courses are from Savitribai Phule Pune University, so they're top-notch. I've learned a lot from both the teachers and the courses.

Placement: The college offers great job opportunities in sales, marketing, branding, and market research. You can land roles in sectors like FMCG, FMCD, service, real estate, human resources, and finance. They also have openings in banks for students. Great place for job placements!

Admission: The teachers at our college have real-world experience in the industry, which is cool. They know their stuff, but their teaching is just okay. The MBA program follows the curriculum from Pune University. It's great to learn from teachers who have actually worked in the field.

Placement: Lots of big companies like IDBI Federal, Bandhan Bank, Dabur, and HUL come to our college for job placements. We also have recruiters from Reliance Retail, Marico, Amul, and many more. It's cool to see such well-known companies coming here to hire students like me.

Campus: The college has cool stuff like Bloomberg Terminal, computer labs, library, Wi-Fi, and classrooms. But there's no elevator in the building. We do live projects and exams here. The hostel isn't great we always have to go to the ground floor for food, and it's not tasty.

Admission: The trainers at PIBM have real-world experience and know their stuff. They're super helpful and always there to answer questions. They teach using real-life examples, which makes learning easy. The curriculum is up-to-date with what the industry needs right now, so we're ready for the job market.

Placement: I'm really impressed with how PIBM helps students get jobs. They have a solid 99% placement rate every year. The best salary package for my batch (2018-2020) was 17 LPA, with an average of 6.5 LPA. Some big companies that hire from here are Reliance Industries, Dwello, and Deloitte. They offer cool roles like area sales manager, US tax consultant, and senior analyst. It's great to see my classmates getting such awesome opportunities!

Campus: PIBM has really cool classrooms. The library is huge, with over 50,000 books available in PDF too. The IT labs at PIBM can fit more than 150 people. They don't have their own hostel, but the hostel they use is top-notch. It's got medical help around the clock and lots of safety measures in place. Plus, you can play games and sports there. The food at the mess is great, super clean, and they make sure it's high quality.

Admission: The teachers here are really knowledgeable  some even went to IIM and top B schools. A lot of them are alumni too, which is cool. They test us every week and we have exams by semester. The course covers stuff like the stock market, mutual funds, and wealth management  all real world stuff. We do different assignments and the exams are kinda tough, but fair.

Placement: I got my job at Deloitte after a campus interview. If you work hard, you can get a good job with a salary over 6 lacs. In our batch, companies like Deloitte, KPMG, Barclays, and Federal Bank hired students with great packages. If you have trouble finding a job, the college will support you and let you participate in placements for junior students. The alumni network is also helpful in finding jobs. However, placements may decrease in 2023. I did a one-month winter internship at Ventura Securities and a two-month summer internship at a brokerage firm. It was a great experience. I work in wealth management now.

Campus: The college building is basic with just one big building. Wi-Fi is only in the computer lab. The library has a small sitting area, but not many updated books. They offer society apartments instead of a hostel. The food is average, more like basic survival food. It costs around 1.35 lakh per year. There are PGs nearby for around 7-8k per month.

Admission: The teachers here are really great and know a lot. They understand us well. The college also gives us mentors for advice. This helps us get ready for the industry. The semester exams are not too hard if you study regularly.

Placement: I loved how most students got placed by the end of semester 3. By the time we finished our 4th semester, almost everyone had a job. The highest salary was 18 lakhs and the lowest was around 6 lakhs, with an average of 8.5 lakhs. BNY Mellon and Deloitte were the top companies hiring students. Everyone also got internships during both winter and summer. The main roles offered were sales manager and global taxation. It was a great experience!

Campus: The campus itself isn't that great, but the area around it is awesome with lots of greenery. The hostel is decent, but there are some rules students have to follow. The wifi, labs, classrooms, and library are all good. The food in the mess isn't the best, and the medical and sports facilities could be better.
