While comparing Soil Gurgaon and PIBM Pune in terms of quality of education, placement ratio, and ROI, I found PIBM to be a stronger choice. I went ahead with PIBM based on key parameters like industry exposure, skill-based learning, corporate training modules, and placement opportunities.

Looking back, what I loved most about PIBM was how practical and industry-focused the learning was.

We weren't just sitting in classrooms — we were constantly interacting with corporate leaders, working on live business projects, visiting industries, doing business simulations, and getting hands-on domain training that really sharpened my adaptabilit

Looking back, what I loved most about PIBM was how practical and industry-focused the learning was.

The specialisations were completely in sync with market demand — I got to explore areas like Business Analytics, FinTech, Project Management, Marketing, Finance, and HR.

PIBM also made sure we were placement-ready through structured GD-PI practice, aptitude training, mock interviews, and constant mentorship. And when it came to placements, the network of top recruiters across BFSI, Consulting, IT/ITES, FMCG, and more was incredible — in my batch, the average package hovered around 6.5 LPA, with the highest touching 18 LPA.

On top of that, the tools-based training was next level — I got the opportunity to learn Ace Analyzer, Bloomberg terminals, plus earn certifications like NISM and CISI, which gave me a real edge in the ever-evolving business management market.

SOIL Gurgaon might be an option if you want experiential learning, but it is comparatively niche, with a smaller batch size and a different programme focus. Its placement opportunities are good, but may not match the sectoral diversity and corporate exposure that PIBM Pune currently offers.

If your goal is better ROI, wider specialisation options, and skill-based corporate training with strong placement support, PIBM Pune offers a more comprehensive package. However, if you prefer a certain culture with a decent programme that offers theoretical learning more than a practical approach and a smaller peer group, SOIL Gurgaon may be a good option for you.

SOIL Gurgaon offers a holistic leadership-focused education with better industry ties and slightly higher placement packages (INR 6–9 LPA), but its higher fees result in a moderate ROI.

PIBM Pune provides more affordable fees (INR 4–6 LPA) and decent placements (INR 4–6 LPA), leading to a better ROI for cost-conscious students, though its overall reputation and average salary are lower than SOIL's.

Conclusion: If you're looking for strong industry connections and a focus on leadership, SOIL Gurgaon is better. If ROI and affordability are your priorities, PIBM Pune might be the better option.
