UNIPUNE - Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU)

A candidate who meets the following admission criteria can apply to Sri Balaji University for the MBA programme of his/her choice. A candidate desirous of admission to the MBA programme should :

Be a UGC-recognized university graduate with at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved category).

Students currently in the final year of their graduation and confident of securing a minimum of 50% aggregate marks may also apply for the MBA courses. The admission committee may give more weightage to higher marks in graduation.

It is imperative that the candidate should have taken at least one exam out of CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT or MH-CET. MAT exams held after Aug/Sept 2023 to May 2024 will be considered for admission to the academic year 2024-26. We believe that true talent cannot be judged based on the score granted by any entrance exam. Hence, we do not have a cut-off score below which if the candidate scores cannot apply to the program.

If an applicant lacks an Entrance Examination Score, has not taken the Entrance examination, or wishes to enhance the scores mentioned above, they may choose to participate in the 

Sri Balaji Entrance and Screening Test (SBEST)

A minimum of 50% marks is mandatory for general category candidates and 45% for reserved category candidates belonging to Maharashtra.

If talking particularly about Sri Balaji Institute, I would personally recommend marketing because there are around 600 students here for marketing from all the four institutes (BIMM, BIMHRD, BITM &BIIB) and also 250+ companies come only for marketing with a good CTC. The faculty of marketing is very good and from the industry. These faculty rotate every semester to a different institute.

Talking about International Business, there is only one class of IB conducted in BIIB Institute. The quality of education is nice but few or lesser companies come to the campus for core IB specialisation and students end up taking a placement in marketing roles. So, if you want a good knowledge of IB and are open for all the possibilities while placement, go for it.
