Which college is best for PGDM marketing in terms of placements and studies: PIBM, MITSOM or RIIM?

I visited RIIM, PIBM & MITSOM when I was selecting my college. RIIM is good as the course they are offering is very exclusive. Here MBA is affiliated to Pune University and PGDM AICTE Approved. Plus they have limited strength of students they have limited seats for PGDM 120 seats are there, so during Placement we have good opportunity to crack the Interview, as per ROI it is one of the best and located in the city. Marketing Companies in which students got placed this year are GLOBAL, PURNARTHA, PANTALOONS, HDFC, INBODY, JKTYRE, HOMESFY, AGICBRICKS, JOCKEY, TATA AIG, BONVILLE etc. They provide really good exposure to the students such...more

RIIM being first place because of its ROI. PGDM is best because they are providing your all practical and updated course curriculum which will be helpful for your studies and placements.

The course is designed by great experienced faculty members so great exposure will be given to you for sure. -

So if you are looking for overall development RIIM would be the best option for you, also in they have well qualified and experienced facu...more

RIIM, PIBM than MITSOM as in terms of Placement and studies because they select the limited students and then they call upon different companies from different fields and hence they offer a large number of placement a compare to other college in Pune. If I talk about the placement and ROI factor than yes RIIM is the best option.

5 years agoHello Shubham The best part is ROI and the well designed curriculum. ROI of RIIM is best because the Course fee for MBA/PGDM+ Employability is 4.5 Lac and for MBA/PGDM+Employability+MDP the course fee is 6 lac. A student is offered average package of 4.5-5.5 lac and maximum is 12- 13 lac. So it is definitely worth to take admission in RIIM. RIIM has designed the best curriculum where they are providing 1 month MDP programme at IIM Indore, Certification courses like Six Sigma, SAP, Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, NSE, Foreign Language etc. In Employability they are covering the Practical Exposure part which is very much important...more -

Definitely RIIM because RIIM gives you digital marketing certification from IIM Kozhikode. Th faculty for marketing is very good. They will guide you throughout. There are 4 people in placement team. Sachin Lele sir is excellent in placements. He will give you various opportunities for sure. Thus marketing placements are best in RIIM. The average package of marketing is 5-6 lacs and the highest goes around 9-10 lacs.
