What is the good choice for doing MBA/PGDM in between IISWBM & PIBM?

It might not be appropriate to compare colleges, as you should have faith in your skills and improve yourself to get into the college you desire.

One of my sisters studied at PIBM, so I might be able to share some facts about PIBM. But as I do not have any information about IISWBM, I suggest you connect with the students studying there and check out their reviews about the college and then finally decide which one to join.

PIBM as a college is more inclined towards imparting practical knowledge. Activities like internships, seminars, industry visits, mock interviews, live projects, aptitude tests, etc.
They encourage personality development and train students to face interviews.
PIBM stands out due to the hard work, they put in the students.
The faculties are well experienced and ready to guide students. This student-teacher relationship is the stronghold of PIBM.

It is suggested you review both the colleges before settling on a decision. As the branch you select will shape your career ahead and a good college can provide you with the extra push.

How good is IISWBM situated in Kolkata?

My friend is currently studying in IISWBM, and according to his experience here are some crucial points you might need to consider to get a view:

IISWBM is an old B-school, but it used to be good only till 2010. After 2010, due to politics, the college has degraded from a Tier-2 B-school to a Tier-3 B-school.
In the current scenario, the bars are set very high with big competitors like IMI Kolkata and MDI Murshidabad. IMI Kolkata pedagogy is superb and industry inclined with their brand name so they started giving much better exposure and placements. And the placement at MDI Murshidabad is so good that even We School Mumbai, Lal Bahadur Sastri Institute of Mngt Studies can’t give.
IISWBM highly depends on IMRB Kantar and ICICI Bank for placements, and if they stop coming in the future the placement will be hardly 30%. PwC India and KPMG used to visit IISWBM but discontinued after 2015. Citi Bank ,IDFC, Infosys, EY, Deloitte, Standard Chartered, Nomura FinTech stopped coming to IISWBM since long back.
The curriculum at IISWBM is very outdated and keeps going on with no improvement and modernization. Even the semester results are never on time.
Never believe in their placement records as they will not show the pathetic condition they are in right now ( Currently hiding their Retail and Sports Department placement report), soon they may stop displaying their MBA placement reports too if this goes on.

At the end of the day, it is highly recommended to avoid joining IISWBM.

Can any of you tell me the exact CAT cut off for IISWBM Kolkata for both MBA and MHRM? I have 2.9 years of workex with an IT major but not confident enough about CAT 2021?

As you have work experience, it’s won’t be difficult to get admission at IISWBM. A decent score will be enough to get shortlisted. According to the recent cutoff trends at the institute, the required CAT cutoff is around 70 percentile.

But it’s better if you try for Symbiosis. It’s comparably better. But if you are choosing IISWBM, go for MBA in Marketing or Finance. The salary offered for HRM at IISWBM is not that great.
