MBA/PGDM

Hi,Searching colleges for an MBA/PGDM programme in Pune gives you plenty of options as a student, however, everyone has different expectations from the college. Below are some of the factors which everyone looks in an MBA college like:
1. College ranking
2. Affiliations
3. Placement records
4. Course Fees
5. Faculty members experience and background
6. Infrastructure
7. Specialisation offered
8. Internships provided
9. Corporate association
10. Industry-specific training
The list goes on. I am an MBA marketing student at PIBM, Pune here students are trained as per the current industry requirements and are made ready for future corporate roles. I did leave out some of the factors while deciding my MBA college in Pune, however, in terms of ROI, I got more than expected in the form of learning and corporate exposure.

Hi,
In order to take admission to an MBA program, there are multiple entrance exams conducted like CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, MH-CET etc and either one of the entrance test scores is required depending on the college you're targeting.
However, there is no such compulsion to appear for all the exams for entry into MBA program, but doing so gives you an added advantage and opens multiple options if you want to enroll in top-ranking colleges. Many top colleges have their own exams for students taking admissions into MBA/PGDM program. You will have to appear for the GD/PI round, aptitude tests based on which you may get admission in the college. You may find many good colleges in Pune if you are planning to pursue an MBA/PGDM.

Hello,
In my opinion, both the courses are career-oriented, the only difference between the two programs is the syllabus followed. PGDM follows the one set by the college academics, while the MBA follows the University syllabus. However, when it comes to employment, both the course students have equal opportunities. You may want to check out the PIBM, Pune, where training provided are industry-oriented. The students get abundant industry exposure in the form of dual internships, corporate sessions, industry visits, live projects, to name a few. Even within the classrooms, trainers follow a mixture of training pedagogies like SCPS (Sector, Company, Product/Services) approach, case study analysis, comparative analysis, etc. All of which are focused towards developing analytical skills. There are many top companies visiting the campus for jobs and the number of corporate events providing its student's many career growth opportunities.

Hi,
Whenever you are considering any college for pursuing PGDM or MBA just the placement figures cannot be the only factor to be considered. You should try to collect information about the following:
A) the brand value of the institute in the market
B) exposure which you are getting in the institute due to its location due to its record of consistent academic quality
C) brands coming for the placement
D) lastly the placement figures with respect to different specializations like marketing, Finance, HR etc. So, firstly, brand-wise Welingkar Mumbai is a very strong brand as compared to BIMTECH Greater Noida. Welingkar is a very old and strong brand since early 1990 whereas BIMTECH Greater Noida became a brand when it is started performing good after the global recession of 2009. Secondly, you get a very good exposure when you are studying in the financial capital of India Mumbai but this Mumbai never limits placement performance of Welingkar with respect to marketing specialization. They do provide very good placement around 8 Lacs rupees per annum CTC. Thirdly, even if you consider the ranking Welingkar Mumbai is amount top 30 institutes of India whereas BIMTECH is among the top 45. Thus we can conclude that BIMTECH is a very good management institute for marketing placement but Welingkar Mumbai is better. Good luck.
