How is ISME in Bangalore?

A relative of mine attended ISME Bangalore. He was a part of the 2010 Marketing batch.The institute was recently established back then, only a couple of batches old. Here is a brief review of the institute based on his experience at the institute. They had faculties from IIMs and reputed B-schools like SP Jain, etc. Overall the faculty base was pretty great and the members were quite cooperative. My relative completed almost 40 presentations during his time at the institute. However, in terms of placements, the institute lags behind. The recruiting companies they bring on the campus placement drive are not that great. From my relatives batch, only a few students from the Finance specialization were able to get good placements. Here are the recent placement statistics of the institute. Average CTC 7 LPA Top Recruiters TCS, JP Morgan, Wipro So, if you want good placement from the campus drives itself, then ISME Bangalore may not be the best option.
