IISWBM, a short journey with everlasting memory.
Placements: To be very honest, the ROI ratio is on the higher side if you want to pursue a course in retail management from IISWBM. It is one of the most esteemed B-schools in India, and the retail management course offers you a healthy package in a reputed company. 100% students got their internship in the companies, like Puma, Pantaloons, Max, Balmer Lawrie, Titan, Future Group and many more. And, if you say about the final placements, we had the offer from Decathlon, Puma, Future Group, Pantaloons, Tanishq, Airtel and many more. The highest package was around 5 LPA, and the average package was around 2.5 LPA. During internships too, some companies offer a legit stipend.
Infrastructure: As it is one of the best B-schools in the country, you will get all the modern facilities like the library with digital assistance, Wi-Fi campus, medical assistance from doctors, sports utility rooms, gym, and well-maintained professional classrooms and auditoriums.
Faculty: Definitely, you will get the best professors from all over the country, and sometimes, from abroad who will guide you to polish yourself and help you to reach your ultimate goal. The teaching method was practically based on digital sound and theoretically filled with the best essence, and the professors are well-educated and well-behaved and from core sectors of different reputed companies. As I told you before, there is an immense industrial exposure for all the departments, and the teacher to student ratio is also healthy and well-maintained as per government rule.
Other: To be honest, I had my best experience of my life staying in this esteemed institution and getting immense practical knowledge of life. It is a government institution, but in some field also, it will beat any private institutions in the country in many fields. The staffs are well-behaved too, and I will like to give my special thanks to my HOD, philosopher guide Mr Gairik Das.
