The preference should be SIBM, NMIMS, GIM, IBSIM. Also, don't just go by word of mouth, you need to thoroughly check the college website and other authentic portals for information about the college and also depending on the specialization you want to opt for, check which college has the best faculty and companies visiting. For other colleges in Pune, you can consider BIMM, but only after checking the above said colleges.

SIBM Pune is one of the most premier B-schools in India with its illustrious alumni base, rigorous academic curriculum, student driven culture and a host of other opportunities for the holistic development of students. Being a student of the Institute, I can assure you that SIBM Pune delivers all that it promises. If given a chance to choose I would go with SIBM Pune followed by NMIMS and then GIM.

Symbiosis Pune us really good and rank one in the preferences you have sent in your list. But their fee is very high. And ROI is low when compared with the fees paid.

Hello! SIBM & NMIMS rank among the top 20 B-schools in India. Both are almost equally good but SIBM is slightly better due to its lower fee structure, excellent campus life, and less batch strength.

I cannot tell you much about other institutes but being a student of Fore, I can help you know what Fore offers and how has my experience been with the institute has so far. This would help you make a better and informed decision. However, at Fore, you are assured of getting experienced faculty. The International Immersom programme is a part of the curriculum, as well. Apart from studies, Fore has 18 committees and special interest groups which helps one hone their skills.
