Both SIMS and SIOM are good institutes, providing excellent courses in different domains. The choice between the two institutes is entirely based on your choice of interest.

The points below give a brief overview of the two institutes:

  • SIOM is an excellent choice for students who want to opt for Operations Management only. Students in the stream get the opportunity to perform internships, projects, and even get placements related to operations only.
  • Some of the major sectors that hire students from Operations Management at SIOM include Logistics, FMCG, Consulting, Manufacturing, analytics, etc. Most of the consulting firms visiting the campus are either supply chain or ERP consulting companies. There are few companies from BFSI too.
  • SIMS provides good management programs in other domains, especially marketing and finance.
  • All kinds of statistical data of both the institutes are published on their institutional website thoroughly. Symbiosis colleges never publish fake data and can be relied upon for comparison.

Therefore, for operations management, SIOM is a much better option. And for all other branches in management, SIMS is a better choice for students interested in an MBA degree.

SIIB is the third rank college in SNAP and has a high cutoff around 98 percentile. Since SIMS admits mostly students from defense backgrounds so the quality of peer of SIIB, is comparatively better.

There’s also another parameter that you should consider while choosing the right institute for your MBA, i.e. specialization.

  • For Marketing and Finance, go for SIIB Pune. It is definitely a better choice, with more companies on campus as compared to SIMS. 
  • If you are interested in Operation/SCM or HR go for SIMS. It has a large batch size for HR and Operations that ensures better placement opportunities and peer learning. 

Another factor that is crucial for choosing a management institute is ROI. SIIB offers a poor Return On Investment if you don't get the top jobs. However, recently SIIB is seeing very good placements. SIIB is better in long term.

  3. IMI K (Decent placement)
  4. BIMTECH (Location factor)
  5. Amity Noida (Brand value, beautiful campus)
  6. IBS H (More number of students, only location advantage)
