Pune

Dear Anuradha, I really appreciate your concern while choosing the B-School to fulfill you career aspirations. You can compare the B-School on the basis of academic strength (program pedagogy, faculty, curriculum), alumni network, placements along with kind of companies and at last infrastructure and resources.
On the these parameters, I am very sure, IMS Ghaziabad is the institution on which you can bank- on.
The methodology of IMS Ghaziabad is not only focus on class room teaching but a lot of learning comes from out the classroom through guest lectures, industry visit, international study tour, alumni interaction, industry based training, events and activities.
Recently, IMS Ghaziabad is ranked 8th best B-School in North India by Times Of India.
IMS Ghaziabad gives you real time learning and value for money.

SIBM (Symbiosis), SCMHRD (Symbiosis) and PUMBA are the best colleges for MBA in Pune.
PGDM is an institute autonomous program which is approved by AICTE.
MBA is a program which is affiliated to a university.
Colleges which offer AICTE approved courses will also offer PGDM, not MBA. For example, XYZ College is affiliated to ABC University they offer MBA course affiliated to that University, the same college is offering AICTE approved course it means they are offering PGDM which is not linked to ABC University.
Typically, if any PGDM is to be equivalent to MBA then the course duration should be 2 years, a 1 year PGDM will not be equal to MBA course.
Even IIMs, XLRIs doesn't offer MBA degrees they only give PGP Diploma or PGDM since they are autonomous and independent bodies.
Always see college reputation and placement instead of MBA and PGDM programme.
