I'm totally satisfied with good placements in the course and helpful faculty members.

Faculty: Teachers are generally helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable, with many having industry and academic experience. Course curriculum includes subjects like finance, marketing, taxation, HR, and analytics. Semester exams are moderately difficult, but if a student attends classes regularly, then they can pass easily.

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.
