7 years agoYes, SIBM is one of the top colleges for MBA in India. Even a lot of IIMs rank below SIBM, Pune so if you do not get admission in famous IIMs like A, B or C then you can definitely go for SIBM. -
Hi Reshma,
IIMs are definitely a good choice for MBA. SIBM, Pune being a premier B-School is definitely worth considering if you are looking for IIM alternatives. -
SIBM, Pune is at par with IIM Lucknow, Kozhikode, Indore in the tier 1 bracket and with IIM Shillong, Rohtak, Ranchi, Udaipur, Raipur in the tier 2 bracket. SIBM Pune has better brand equity than some of the tier 3 IIMs and have good placements especially in HR and Marketing. SIBM, Pune closely competes with Narsee Monjee and MDI. So you can leave out some of the tier 2 IIMs and the complete list of tier 3 IIMs for SIBM, Pune.
