Ans. SIBM Pune features a fairly substantial reputation within the MBA league. My friends who have passed from this college have mostly ended up with very great jobs and work in the upper echelons in their respective workplaces. Of course, the law of average work at SIBM too, and here there are a few people who fall below the average expectations.

 You will not get the coveted badge of an IIM or an ISB. That is something the pass outs of SIBM will have to live with. It does harm the chances sometimes in the corporate world but not necessarily.

Ans. One of my relatives who used to be a student of SCMHRD feels that the course is directly proportional to the quality or effort of the students who are a part of it.

He has shed some light on the following:

• Academics: The course curriculum can be a tad gruesome and it has more to do with finance as all the students are prepared to tough it out in finance. They will take some other specialization if not finance. So he advises the students and would-be students to prepare themselves. The course structure is similar to the standards of the industry and also on equal footing with other colleges of repute.
• Placements: Major banks like ICICI, Citibank, AXIS, HDFC, etc come to the institute for placements. They may offer positions like relationship managers or credit analysis, etc. They can also offer positions like equity research in HSBC, verity solutions, credit analysis in JPMC, DE Shaw, etc. You will be able to choose from a wide range of domains. Read More
