My honest review about RIIM.

Placements: The total number of students are 60 in my class. We are given placement and internship opportunities. Placement and internship depend on students capabilities. The average package offered is around 5 LPA. We have various seminars organized for students.

Infrastructure: We are provided with good and properly functioning labs and classrooms with a projector. A library is filled with various knowledgeable and interesting books. I have opted for a hostel facility with a total fee of Rs. 81,000. Good cleaned rooms are available for students.

Faculty: Professors are very kind and helpful. They always encourage students to be their best. Professors are trying their best to be interactive with every student. Exams are quite good if we study a lot. Our concepts are very clear without any doubt.

Other: I was in search for a good MBA college after my graduation. After my CET exam results were declared I applied for this college after a long research on background. It has everything I was looking for. It is affordable as compared to other colleges offering MBA.

Review of the college - RIIM Pune.

Placements: The placement in the college is quite decent that almost 70% students are placed on campus. The highest package is 24 LPA and the lowest is 3 LPA. Top recruiters include Cosmos Bank, KPIT, TCS, Deloitte, etc. Almost 95% got internships at Anand Rathi, Cashflow, Godrej, Hyundai, etc. Finance Manager, Credit Manager, etc.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available. Labs are quite decent and everyone can use it. Classrooms are advanced. The library is good. Hostel quality is average. Wi-Fi is okay, not so good sometimes. Water issues are there and a few power cuts. Overall, the rooms are okay and drinking water and washing machines are okay; it is all average.

Faculty: Teachers are so helpful. They create a friendly bond with students and enjoy helping students. All the faculty members are highly qualified and have excellent soft skills. The things they teach are so clear to most of the students who pay attention in the lecture. Yes, this course also teaches us soft skills and some other skills like case studies, Excel, and some programming languages, which are helpful in corporate life. The semester exams are not much difficult, which indicates we have to study well for achieving good marks. The passing percentage of students in the college is 90+, out of 100, 90+ students pass the semester exam.

Other: I chose this because I have to learn about various soft skills and communication skills, as MBA is an evergreen opportunity for learning management and soft skills. The improvement should be there in communication classes. The communication classes are less in number in a week; they should be more. Many events like RIIM Utsav, Rhythm of Life, Finance Fest, and extracurricular activities like Business Day and trips are there.

RIIM summary and everything about the college.

Placements: They do have several courses which do offer placement and do not. I was in core MBA, so it does not provide placement to core MBA students but does provide for PGDM, but the college also provides internships to every course, and every student is willing to do personally; I find my internship on my own.

Infrastructure: infrastructure of this college is basic—not too modern or not too old-school type—but it does have every necessary things and do have a basketball and volleyball ground ground for sports, a common hall area for students, and auditorium also. So overall, we can conclude it is a basic infrastructure needed for MBA—not too many facilities, but, yes, they do provide everything that is needed.

Faculty: As I completed my first year in this college, the faculty of this college is very helpful and knows how to teach a student, and they also have very hassle-free procedure for Exam Form scholarship, and everything. Exams are also conducted in very systematic manner due to providing basic things needed and having hassle-free Exam Form submissions, etc.
