My sister did her bachelor’s degree in engineering from MIT and MBA from Indira Institute of Management. So, I have some ideas about both the institutes. 

Among the above institutes, Indira Institute of Management is much better than MIT SOM for a management degree, considering the overall development of students in Indira Institute of Management. 

The table below gives a comparison of the institutes.

Comparison:

• MIT is considered to be one of the best colleges for B.Tech in Pune. But MIT School of Management is not up to the standard of the Indira Institute of Management.
• MBA in Indira Institute of Management has a much better curriculum and infrastructure for the overall development of its students.
• Indira Institute of Management conducts an excellent soft-skill program, which includes life problem solving, consulting selling, negotiation skills, etc in the MBA curriculum, which is very helpful for students.

Considering the above factors, it is safe to say Indira Institute of Management is a much better option for MBA or PGPM than MIT SOM, with an overall better placement record.

PUMBA and Indira Institute of Management both offer post-graduation courses. The number of courses offered by PUMBA is more than the latter.

Indira Institute of Management offers a PGDM course in two specializations: Marketing and Finance.
