No, technically you cannot! Pune Institute of Business Management College offers a full-time PGDM/MBA programme which requires you to attend regular classes. So, two programs at a time can not be possible at PIBM. 

Pursuing two programs simultaneously at the Pune Institute of Business Management (PIBM) is not feasible because the PGDM/MBA programme is a full-time course that demands regular classroom attendance, participation in case studies, group discussions, and industry interactions.

Balancing another academic programme alongside this rigorous schedule would not only be impractical but also against institutional policies. Additionally, managing coursework, assignments, and internships from two different programs would lead to excessive workload, making it difficult to perform well in either.

Therefore, students should focus on their PGDM/MBA at PIBM to gain maximum value from the curriculum, faculty guidance, and industry exposure without the distraction of another academic commitment.
