Professors teach what market needs and always pushes to upgrade ourselves.
Placements: Placement is pretty decent, with an average package of nearly 15 Lacs per annum CTC, and it's an increase of 10 percent over last year. The highest package was 24 Lacs and the median was around 15 Lacs. Of course, ROI is always a question mark but brand SIBM helps in overcoming it.
Infrastructure: I availed for the hostel accommodation because I wanted to save my time as well as my money. Hence, during the time of admission, I paid Rs 31,200/- as the first installment. Apparently, I paid Rs 31,200 as my 2nd installment. The place was good as well as safe.
Faculty: Up to the market standards and demand of the industry, students are educated, as well as various seminars and guest sessions that complement the learning process of students. Most of the class discussion and exams are application-based, with an extreme focus on presentation skills.

Absolutely satisfied with everything.
Placements: SIBM placements are best in Pune city, not even any college close to us. In 2021, batch opportunities are in bulk, and 100% placement is done every year. There are two cycle in campus placement SIRP means summer internship recruitment process, which is conducted in first year of college You get many big opportunities, like when I got to work in Aditya Birla as a finance intern. second cycle is CRP campus recruitment process, which starts in second year. You get opportunities in companies like Infosys, Amazon, Deloitte, Cumath, Google, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, HSBC Bank, etc. The average package considers 8 LPA. So there is no need to worry about placement; be prepared; you will get lot of opportunities.
Infrastructure: First things first, look, feel and the vibe of the campus are surreal. In the single day itself, you witness different sessions, from bright mornings to heavy downpours during the evening chilly winter. SIBM offers a variety of clubs and special interest groups in which you can be part. The library is big; it is at the heart of the academic block on the on the ground floor of the library is accessible 24 hours a day. Students have a choice of taking 2 or 3 sharing rooms. Hostel rooms are spacious, and basic facilities include a refrigerator and cooktop. One of these disappointing college locations is in Khadki, outside of Pune city.
Faculty: The teaching and administration staff is highly qualified; most of them have prior experience in teaching. The pedology is a combination of lectures, case studies and peer learning. Some guest staff are also arranged to guide us in our career. Passing the exam at SIBM Pune is not very difficult. We give mid-term and end-term exams in one semester and you will not have much time to prepare for the second year.
Other: There are enough reasons to choose SIBM Pune; it is good at everything.
