Both Indira PIBM and RIIM Pune are reputed management institute. But as far as an MBA institution is concerned, check some facts to reach a conclusion. RIIM Pune is great in aspects like the faculty members, placement scenario, practical experience, etc. I can give you some insight into RIIM as I have a few friends there.

RIIM Pune is ranked among the top B-Schools of Pune. The curriculum is designed according to the industry’s needs.

Placements:

• Here, the companies offer good placements with a package that starts with 5.5-5.6 LPA.
• The highest packages that are offered are around 14-15 LPA.
• The profiles that students are offered jobs in are- commercial credit, equity research, investment banking, business analysis, corporate finance, digital marketing, retail management, channel management, etc.
• Two internship programs are offered at RIIM Pune, which are summer and winter internship programs. This gives you exposure to the corporate world.

Extracurriculars:

• There are various skill enhancement certified programs that include- Business Intelligence/Analyst, SAP (Basic), Six Sigma, Advance Excel via Microsoft, etc.
• A Digital Marketing Certification is also provided from IIM Kozhikode and another Management Development Programme from IIM Indore.
• Here, in a 15-day residential program, you will get to learn great management skills from professors at IIM. You will get certificates for these programs too!

Student Intake:

Since the intake at RIIM Pune is limited, every student, individually, gets the attention of the professors. Other colleges take 500+ students where the attention of the professors is always divided. RIIM has a faculty set of highly experienced people.

Keeping industrial visits aside, there are frequent guest lectures by experienced professionals. The college focuses on creating managers who are street-smart and as far the curriculum of the college is concerned, it serves the purpose well.

RIIM is great as it makes the students ready for industry management in the future.
