Excellent program, good faculties, & a nurturing environment for all those who dare to put in effort
Placements: I'm currently in the batch of 2023-25 at IIMS Pune. Placements are underway and so far, around 35-40% of my class has secured jobs in well-known companies/corporates. Federal Bank is leading with offers in the 14-16 LPA range. The average package is around 7.5 LPA. Deloitte, FIS Global, Kuehne Nagel, Federal Bank, Mondelez are some of the top recruiters. The entire batch has secured internships.
Infrastructure: IIMS has various facilities including a hostel, computer labs, library, Wi-Fi, auditorium, canteen, modern and well-equipped classrooms with AC, smart boards, and projectors, sports grounds for cricket, football, volleyball, basketball, badminton, etc. ATM and hospital are right next to the campus. Overall, facility-wise, IIMS is satisfactory.
Faculty: Faculty members at IIMS are experienced and caring. In my experience, every student with the willingness to learn finds the necessary support at IIMS, irrespective of one's shortcomings or weaknesses. IIMS believes in experiential learning and thus practical use of management lessons is practiced here by management. The curriculum is relevant and keeps on getting updated with time and as per industry requirements. Exams are conducted to check the understanding of students and are more intuitive than being unnecessarily complex. In my findings, students certainly get industry-ready if they are actively participating in various, well-planned activities.
Other: I chose PGDM because regular university programs don't actually help with personality development. I knew that at IIMS, focus is given to making students industry-ready, and that was a USP for me. IIMS conducts various events such as VISHLESHAN, DRISHTIKON, VISTA, etc. annually, which helps students in competing, learning, and improving their caliber while practicing the lessons learned in classrooms. I am quite happy with the offerings at IIMS. With current accreditation from NBA, it will help upcoming students with better packages and profiles as well.

Overall I am satisfied with the current placement scenario.
Placements: Till now approximately 35% of students got placed who passed in the year 2025. The highest salary package offered for marketing till now is 10.50 LPA which is good in terms of ROI. Top recruiting companies are Deloitte, Pattern, FIS Global, and Factset. Overall the trend of placement is going well for this batch.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are below average and it lack hygiene as only triple-sharing beds are available. No flush in the toilets. Due to the crowd in the hostel, room space is not good. It also provides study table and chair. The mess food is average and only vegetarian foods are provided. Classrooms and chairs are not so good as it is difficult to put a laptop over it and make notes simultaneously. Wi-Fi network is very slow. Library is filled with good books, journals, and some online access to IJT and DELNET. The distribution of Economics Time to each student is a good part of this institution.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and they are qualified to deliver knowledge. The course curriculum is relevant and it makes students industry-ready. This institute follows trimester pattern for the 2024-26 batch. Exam toughness level is medium which includes case-based study, but due to few permanent faculty members. There is an issue in completing the syllabus.
Other: I chose marketing course due to the inclusion of live projects, WIP, SIP, and also various sector and company presentations. Moreover, due to the compact strength of students, faculty could monitor each student. Inclusion of electronic and technical gadgets in incubation center also known as research center for entrepreneurial development. Inclusion of technical or technology savvy communities for startup pitch. The cultural activities are good and students are part of Rotaract and other CSR like Tattva.
