Colleges in Patna

CIMP is pretty decent when it comes to placements for the regular PGDM program—companies do come in, and the average package is around INR 6 LPA – INR 7 LPA. But when it comes to the PGDM in Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Venture Development, it's a bit different. Since the course is more startup-focused, traditional placements aren't as strong. It's a good fit if you're serious about building your own venture, but if you're mainly looking for campus placements, the core PGDM has better options.
