Is Kirloskar (KIAMS) Pune or Harihar better than BIMM in terms of return or investment or placement?

Akshay PandeyMBA Operations Management, Balaji Institute of Modern Management (2015)

I have a few friends at BIMM so, I can give you an idea about their placements. It only becomes relevant when you have actually worked hard for 2 years. Your performance determines it all. You need to consistent with your academics, many students fail to do so, as a result of the sudden freedom that they get. 

However, colleges like PUMBA, BIMM (and the rest of the SBS franchise), Simby are great choices when it comes to providing excellent placement opportunities. A maximum number of 300 companies (and more) visit SIMBY and SBS for placements by the end of your 2 academic years. I have friends studying at both institutes and we at times converse on the placement scene. And I can assure you that the placements are quite decent. 

Here’s a brief highlight of the recent placement statistics for BIMM. 

Average CTC

5.4 LPA

Placement rate

85%

Top recruiters

If you're academically excellent, do not worry as you would have a job by the time you reach your 3rd semester. Do some thorough research before deciding anything.
