Ques

Which is better, SIMS Pune or SIOM Nashik ?

● Top Answer By Shubhika Verma on 05 Jul 21

Ans

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.

Ques

Which college should I choose between SIMS Pune and SIIB Pune where both are old and the same placements and SIMS fee is low but SIIB peer quality is good?

● Top Answer By Souman Halder on 26 May 21

Ans

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.

Ques

Is it good to invest 19 lakh in IMT Ghaziabad for a PGDM (full time) given I have a SIMS college option?

● Top Answer By Shubham Gupta on 06 Jul 21

Ans

Yes, it is worth spending INR 19 lakhs in IMT Ghaziabad. IMT Ghaziabad is a band A college while SIMS Pune is a lower rung band C college. So IMT Ghaziabad has a better brand presence which will help you in the long run. Also, the initial kickstart you will get is better here. Where SIMS Pune maybe a little better than IMT Ghaziabad is in the finance domain. The placements at the institute have been good with salaries as high as INR 15 lakhs per annum being offered to the students. The job roles are also quite good and are actually comparable to even some band B colleges. The table below will give you a comparison between IMT Ghaziabad and SIMS Pune. Institute IMT Ghaziabad SIMS Pune Highest salary INR 29.32 LPA INR 16.3 LPA Average salary INR 12.42 LPA INR 9.24 LPA Median salary INR 12 LPA INR 7 LPA If you are interested in marketing then no doubt IMT Ghaziabad is better than SIMS Pune. The fee of SIMS Pune is now almost touching INR 15 lakhs which is not cheap unless you are from the army quota. Symbiosis is also a good brand but then IMT Ghaziabad outshines it in every way.

Ques

Can you please rank these B-schools: IBS Hyderabad, IMI Kolkata, IMT Nagpur, Bimtech (PGDM IB Course), SIMS Pune, Amity Noida?

● Top Answer By Rashi Srivastav on 07 Feb 21

Ans

Many coaching institutes publish many different rankings of B schools across the country every year based on several different parameters. Which in most situations aren’t reliable and trustworthy. But the Times ranking or Career Launcher ranking is more realistic and based on practical parameters. According to these rankings, the preference order of the institutes is as follows. SIMS Pune (Symbiosis tag, good average package) IMT N (IMT tag and brand value, good placement, good faculty, and campus life) IMI K (Decent placement) BIMTECH (Location factor) Amity Noida (Brand value, beautiful campus) IBS H (More number of students, only location advantage) The table below gives a brief overview of the institutes in the question. Institution Average CTC Course Fee SIMS Pune 9.2 LPA 9.20 lakhs IMT N 7.94 LPA 12.1 lakhs IMI K 10.25 LPA 12.41 lakhs BIMTECH 8.13 LPA 12 lakhs Amity Noida 4.5 LPA 6.80 lakhs IBS H 7.97 LPA 14.04 lakhs This list and ranking are unbiased based solely on reasons that are practical, realistic, and are only facts combined with different student reviews.
