PSG Institute of Management is a good college for pursuing an MBA if you want to give yourself a platform to showcase your skills and learn a few new skills during the education process. The college will definitely encourage you to pursue your career goals. However, if you compare it to other B-schools located in Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore it has a less diverse peer group. Higher Studies: The college also offers a separate course to the students who are willing to continue their higher studies in this field after graduation in some foreign university in USA or Canada or Germany etc. The college does not reveal the placement data. Placements: I have a friend who is an alumnus of the institute, according to him the average CTC offered at the institute is 4 LPA and the highest goes up to around 11 LPA. The placement average for his batch (2016-17) was around 90-95%. Some of them got double offers as well. Sales roles are the most common role which is offered to students here. Finally what is your expectation from the institute is what defines if the college is good for you or not. Overall it is a good institute when compared to other management colleges affiliated with Anna University.

Both Thiagarajar School of Management and PSG Institute of Management are average-rated tier-2 institutes, none of them being up to the mark for an MBA. The points below give a brief overview of the PSG Institute of Management, which has a sight better reputation than the other. Placement in PSGIM is moderate. The average package offered to students in MBA is around 5 LPA, which is considered to be not so decent for MBA graduates. For marketing, the placements are somewhat better. For students in finance, only two major companies, BNY Mellon and State Street visit the campus for placement in core finance jobs. So, most students in all branches of MBA go to sales profiles only. The highest package offered in the institute to date is close to 9 LPA, which is not very high. Academics in PSGIM are is moderate, which is nowhere close to that of IIMs and XLRI. The course offered in the institute is not residential and so, there is less focus on summer internships and practical knowledge-based learning. Both the institutes are not very good options for MBA degrees. But, PSG Institute of Management still manages to offer some decent jobs in Marketing and so it can be considered.

Some people would say that competition is harmful to students as it pressurizes them but, to be honest, we cannot deny the fact that competition always increases the quality whether it is between students or big companies. Having friends in both the institutes, I can say that ICFAI Business school (IBS Hyderabad) is much better than PSG Institute of Management. It is ranked higher, placement opportunities are better there and the crowd you’d meet is really competitive. In PSG Institute of management, you will be dealing with a majority of the Tamil-speaking crowd. Whereas, IBS Hyderabad has a diverse crowd and you get familiar with a different mindset and explore new things there. You will learn a lot in IBS Hyderabad. In NIRF Ranking, ICFAI Business school (IBS Hyderabad) has been ranked #25 in India among top management institutes in 2021.
