ISB&M might just be what you're looking for.

Placements: I would say placements at ISB&M are pretty good. The college brings good companies from different industries, which gives students quite a few options depending on their specialisation and interest. Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PwC, Accenture, TCS, Wipro, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Asian Paints, Britannia, DHL and JLL are the companies that recruited students from our college.

Infrastructure: The hostel facilities at ISB&M are decent. The rooms are good enough for students, and the basic facilities are available. It is not something you should expect to be the best but overall it is manageable. You can have a good hostel experience once you get used to it.

Faculty: They are good, with real corporate work experience. They are all highly educated. The assignments that they give are really practical and gives the exposure of real world which makes you communicate with real businesses or corporates. The faculty members are good. Curriculum makes you feel like you're in a real company, managing your assignments and deadlines.

Other: I chose this course because it is a good orientation programme. The orientation helped us understand how things actually work in a professional environment and also gave us a chance to interact with people from different backgrounds. It made the transition of a student from undergraduate life to a proper management programme in a smooth way.

A practical learning journey at ISB&M Pune.

Placements: Placements here at ISB&M are quite good. For the 2024-26 batch, the highest package is 20 LPA. The average is 11 LPA. Also, for summer internships, the companies are good at giving the highest stipend of 1.25 LPA, and the average is around Rs. 40,000. The placement process gives students good exposure to different companies and roles, and helps them understand what to expect in the corporate world.

Infrastructure: The campus is located in a beautiful hillside area in Pune, offering a peaceful environment. Hostels are separate for boys and girls, with a mess providing breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner. Classrooms are well-equipped. The campus also has a basketball court & swimming pool.

Faculty: Faculty members are great. They are all postgraduates from IIMs. They use real-life examples and projects to make concepts easier to understand. We have many specialisations like marketing, finance, HR, business analytics, Logistics & supply chain management & Media with subjects designed around practical learning. Exams include both written papers and continuous internal assessment like assignments, projects, and module tests.

Other: I chose PGDM for its practical approach and flexibility to explore different specialisations. Also, there are different cells and clubs that you can take part in, like Placement Assistance Cell, Entrepreneurship Education Cell, Alumni Cell, Digital Marketing Cell, HR club, Marketing club, Finance club, CSR, etc. Students can take part in any of the club/cell which gives the best learning & exposure to the students. The only challenge is managing the trimester schedule along with multiple projects & assessments. Campus life is also quite active with fests, cultural events, guest lectures & extracurricular activities.

Professors are very reliable in the college, often giving new opportunities to students.

Placements: All students with different scores are placed in a single class and given the chosen courses they select. There are many opportunities available regarding the course you choose. The internships are available in different areas of the field. The faculty give each and every student a chance to apply for the internship since the first year of college.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in the college and hostel, and the location is not too rural but is between the mountains, so the outside traffic is not a problem and we can fully focus in class. The library is open 24/7, so students usually like to stay in the library. The hostel is very nice and big for at least 3 to 4 students in one room. The canteen is very close to the hostel, and the food is fresh.

Faculty: There is no problem with the exams as the professors often give periodic tests before the exam and also give assignments that help with exam preparation. The university provides the question paper for finals, and the questions are not that hard if you complete the assignments the professors provide or attend the class regularly. The professors make sure to complete the course before the exam and use the extra classes for revision in the classes before exams.
