Which one is better for a MBA, SIIB Pune or SCMHRD Pune?

Such changes were welcomed and appreciated by one and all in the following years. In the process, SIIB won much coveted accreditations making it one of the preferred destinations for MBA education in India.</p><p>SIIB is better compared to SCMHRD as it has good placement cell and offers high salary packages compared to the SCMHRD Pune.</p>

<p>In terms of ranking and brand value, SIBM Pune is better than SCMHRD. India Today 2021 has ranked SIBM Pune and SCMHRD 7th and 8th for MBA respectively. But rather than ranking and brand recognition, you should put more importance on the course you are going to pursue.&nbsp;</p><p>If you are planning on pursuing MBA Business Analytics, MBA HR, or MBA Infrastructure Management, then you should go for SCMHRD. For the Marketing specialization, both of these two are decent options.</p>
