    Hi, UBS is a good B-School but the only thing wrong is the location. It is in Karjat which is a place 80km away from Mumbai (eventually not even in Mumbai's district). Karjat is a place known for mini vacations, having lots of resorts and farmhouses (typically to spend a weekend). You imagine what kind of "corporate value" you will receive if you join UBS. There are no flaws in the institute, but the main thing which matters is the location from where you are completing your PGPM/PGDM/MBA.

    Hi Sameer, please refer to my answer to your previous question. However, its extremely unlikely that the UBS ROI will be higher that SPJIMR & NMIMS (Both are ranked in the top 10 B-Schools of India).

    Hello, I would strongly recommend Athena School of Management which is located in Powai, Mumbai. This B-School has a unique Methodology of teaching I. e. 20% faculty and 80% interactive sessions. This B-school attracts good companies for placement and many students also get pre-placement offers during their internship period. Also, with the limited batch of students, personal attention is guaranteed. This B-school offers multiple Indian and International internships by which students can practically judge their strengths and weaknesses in different fields.

    Athena is not AICTE approved. UBS is the 1st B-School in India to give a PGDM with foreign collaboration in partnership with Cardiff Met. University, UK which is a 150 years old British University ranked No1 Modern University in UK with 80000 alumni. UBS ROI is higher than SPJIMR and NMIMS.
