Kirloskar Institute of Management, Pune

When you compare this with other tier 2 B schools, then it provides better results but I won't suggest you to take admission in tier 2 colleges rather try to crack tier 1 colleges because they provide high ROI and better career opportunities. If we talk about KIAMS, they provide decent ROI of Rs 5.35 per annum but it doesn't provide optimum return on the investment you make. So, I request you to take a wise decision on your own.

It is an average college for MBA. I would suggest you to try for top 50 colleges at least.

It is a decent B-school as ROI and brand value are some of its demerits. SIBM and SCMHRD are much better choices.

IFIM is the best option for its better placement assistance and decent conversion ratio. ISBM offers low salaries with average up to Rs.4 LPA to Rs.5 LPA.

No as such there is no specific department for any field whether it is marketing or finance. But we have a generalized department that is Marketing, Finance, Operations and HR. There is no sub-department in any specific field like Retail marketing, branding etc. in marketing.

As a PGDM student, you have to understand that average packaged offered by companies depends upon the specialization and the college from which you have passed out. Generally, the tier 1 college students gets an average package of above Rs 25 lakhs whereas in tier 2 it come down to Rs 10-15 lakhs and others it's between Rs 5-10 lakhs.It's not compulsory that only top B school graduates get high salaries. Basically, it depend upon your knowledge and skills. If you are excellent then no one can stop you from being successful.

Christ will be the better choice as it has more brand value. The selection of colleges includes your score in competitive exams. You should wait for the results and apply.

In terms of fee structure, KIAMS is better than Flame. Flame is just 1 year old, whereas KIAMS is 25 years old institute. So, if you are opting for marketing and finance, I would suggest you to join KIAMS. The average package offered at KIAMS is Rs.5.35 LPA.

BIMM has a more scope in terms of placements. If you wish to join any of these colleges, my choice will be BIMM and there are lot more good colleges in Pune. You can also go for IIM.

KIAMS do profile based selection where they consider your academic records, competitive exam scores, performance in our interview process etc. With the cumulative score of all these KIAMS offers Admission.So if you have 50 percentile and above with good academic records you can expect a call from KIAMS.
