Colleges in Pune

Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence is one of the best B-school in Pune which does not boast of many things like some of the other colleges. The college runs on a unique concept of a student-driven institute. Every student gets personal attention as he is assigned tasks which improve his personality and decision making. The best part is the 9-month internship! Students here study in a trimester pattern in the first year. The final year consists of a 9 month paid internship which increases your ROI to a great extent. If you earn around 23 Lacs in your final year and get placed with an average package of 78 Lacs what else can you ask for. Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence is the only option for good industrial exposure and overall development of students. If you can visit their campus you will already get the vibes of being a part of this community.

Regarding the PGDM programme, both the colleges are almost similar. Still, I think Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence is better than ISMR Pune. The college is ranked in 34th position in the list of Top 100 Business Schools. The college provides international study tours to the students, along with global placement assistance in Dubai and Singapore. More than 300 recruiters visit the campus for placement. Minimum 9 months paid internship, Corporate Mentoring Sessions, Mock Group Discussions and Interview Workshops, Industrial visits, etc. All are included in Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence's programme.

All mentioned brands are good in their own way. Pumba provides MBA. It is quite reputed, however course structure is obsolete. Government colleges/universities do not update their syllabus periodically hence course structure is not as per current market standards. MIT & Balaji has become a Private University recently. Fees is huge and placements provided do not give ample ROI. I think Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence is a good choice because of following reasons.
1. Many awards on World, Asian & National Level.
2. Paid internships in the final year for minimum duration of 9 months.
3. 20+ additional certification along with PGDM makes you more industry ready
4. The finest Academic Delivery by Iims, IIT's & Foreign faculty members.
5. The ""One Student a Time"" approach to ensure every student's growth & development.
6. Periodic Corporate Interaction Series.
7. Dual Major specialisation.
8. Regular Industrial visits
9. Innovation lab for patents, tradenarks & copyright.
10. Language lab for English proficiency.

Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence along with the PGDM Degree offers students that extra edge by certifying them on many skill based and domain based certifications. These are highly recommended on a yearly basis, by our Experts from the CRC, based on the need of the industry, to augment the employability quotient of our young managers and leaders. These certificates make the profile of the student extremely impressive and saleable to the corporate sector at the end of the two year PGDM programme. In today times, a mere management degree cannot suffice the niche needs of specific skill Sets in the industry today. With Science, technology and management practices changing at an ever-increasing rate, a gap is formed between the foundation provided by an academic education and the technical and management competencies required in today technical and business environment. Thus, evolved the trend of professional certification programs in India, in order to bridge the education gap, arising out of this change. Certification helps employers evaluate potential new hires, analyze job performance, evaluate employees, select contractors, market services, and motivate employees to enhance their skills and knowledge. Certificate holders benefit too as these give them their recognition of competency, help show commitment to the profession, and aids in job advancement. Thus lately, there has been an exponential growth in various B-Schools supporting their regular PGDM certification with additional professional certifications. Employees having that extra edge are always preferred to the regular ones and this can be brought through by enabling our students to get certified
Tapping this innate need of the corporate world, Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence, in consultation with their panel of Industry experts, roll out 20 plus additional certifications along with their PGDM as a mandatory part of their full-time programme. These include both soft skills and domain-based certifications. Some of them are mentioned below:

Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership and Excellence has the best facilities. Experience of teachers and guest lectures: I remember attending guest lectures from some of the industry experts during my MBA. And trust me, these used to be really knowledgeable and helpful. So in addition to the experience of the faculty, you should also try to find out the guest lectures organized at the campus.
