LBSIM New Delhi is a very good institute, considering the overall academic focus, faculty, and a lot of other positive aspects of the institute. The points below give a brief overview of the institute, along with some of its advantages.

• The growth in extra-curricular activities at LBSIM is excellent, with all kinds of necessary facilities in-campus. Even, the atmosphere inside the campus is quite chilled out, but not too much.
• The placement of LBSIM is excellent as evident from its statistics in recent years. It is at par with other top institutes like IMT Ghaziabad, FORE School of Management, TAPMI, GIM, etc.
• The location of LBSIM is very good too. The campus is easily accessible by Delhi Metro, which is a prime advantage for local students. For students from other places, there are some amazing societies near the campus of LBSIM where students can stay in a peaceful and happening environment.

Overall, there is no such serious negative aspect of LBSIM that may prevent students from taking admission into the institute. It offers excellent management programs and very good job offers to most of its students, and so is a very good option for an MBA.

Having friends in both the institutes, I would suggest, between IMT Hyderabad and LBSIM, go for IMT Hyderabad, one of the most promising B-schools in the country. LBSIM is a 20-year-old institute.

• IMT recently received the "best Emerging B-school in Asia". It also received an award from ASSOCHAM for “best upcoming B-school in South India”.
• It has an excellent and reputed industry interface in India. They have a campus of 30 acres, a high-rated infrastructure, hostel, playgrounds, and many other facilities with decent placement.
• IMT has 37 faculty members while LBSIM has 30.

You can go for any of these institutes, but it is suggested you opt for IMT Hyderabad, due to their availability of modern facilities and enough industrial exposure.

One of my very good friends has been an alumnus of LBSIM as a student enrolled in the MBA course. I can share his experience, which might help answer the question.

• The faculty members are good in their respective fields and well experienced.
• You will interact with students having a good mix of uniqueness and experience as well.
• The campus has a pretty good infrastructure. Although, the college still has the scope of being better in terms of the campus infrastructure.
• Hostel and Mess facilities are not available inside the College campus, which can be considered a disadvantage.
• Placement opportunities offered to the students are good and 100% of the students get placed in reputed companies every year.
• ROI is considered to be the best among all the private B-schools of the country.
• Many companies visit the college campus for recruitment offering a lot of flexibility for the industry you want to be a part of.

Throughout the year, several activities happen on campus which keeps students engaged and enriched. Lastly, this institute tries to impart the ethic and values of Shri Lal Bahadur Shastriji to its students which is extremely beneficial for the students as they get on a path of a fair & ethical life.

One of my cousins studied at LBSIM. So I can share some facts about it. This might help you get a better idea about the college.

LBSIM offers 2 courses - PGDM General and PGDM Finance. After completing 1 year in PGDM General you can choose a dual specialization from - Finance, Marketing, HR, Operations, and Systems.

After completing 1 year in PGDM Finance you can choose a dual specialization from - Treasury Management, Investment Management, Risk Management, Strategic Accounting & Control.

You will get proper industrial and corporate exposure. Guest lectures are conducted. Being in Delhi and surrounded by Gurgaon and Noida, the college has a locational advantage.

There are a lot of colleges from the same league which fails to provide enough facilities, exposure, and learning opportunities to their students. But here LBSIM beats every single one of them.

If you look at FORE’s prior placement statistics, you'll notice that even before they started this new PGDM in Financial Management, they were a good pick for the financial sector, finance businesses, and overall BFSI.

• Until a few years ago, LBSIM was an excellent venue for PGDM Finance. However, some of the best faculty members have left LBSIM.
• When compared to other institutes in its category, LBSIM offers cutting-edge infrastructure and possibly the best finance faculty.
• It offers a tough curriculum, and recruiters come in with core finance profiles; on top of that, LBSIM has a higher return on investment.
• FORE is a good school as well, but why pay more for similar opportunities.

Just remember that it’s all about your career opportunities so think wisely and then make any decision.

Having friends in both FORE and LBSIM, I can say that they are the top MBA institutes in Delhi that have big-brand value.

FORE School of Management

• There are a variety of internship roles that get offered to the students. It includes Consulting, Market Research, Sales, Business Development, Pre-Sales, and others.
• The big corporations that visit the campus for SIP (summer internship project) are E&Y, Deloitte, United Biscuits, United Breweries, Maruti Suzuki, Genpact, Expedia, IDBI, and more. These companies pay a lucrative stipend to the students.
• FORE provides a bunch of opportunities to the students sitting for SIP.

Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management

• The SIPs are in BFSI, Research & Consultancy, Engineering & Durables, E-Commerce, FMCG, IT/ITES, and Others. Out of these, Research & Consultancy placed the maximum students (29% of the batch).
• The average stipend offered is 19,500/month while the highest is 96,000/month.
• There are over 150 companies that come for SIP placements. The new recruiters were Mahindra Finance, L&T Finance, Bajaj Capital, ONGC, Google, HPCL, ABC Consultants, Chegg, Mazars, and others.

In both institutes, the SIP Placement scenario is similar. For selecting the students, companies follow the steps: Resume-Shortlisting, Group Discussion, and Personal Interview.

Apart from the above, a few companies may also ask to write an online test. The students can also get PPO/PPI from some of the listed companies.
