Good placements in marketing as well as finance.

Faculty: This PGDM course is far better than an MBA because it provides us with the knowledge of how to do the work. It is an industry-ready program that focuses on practical-based knowledge rather than theory-based knowledge, and the faculty of IIMs Pune is very supportive. They all interact with us and the internships that are provided by them really help boost our CV.
