*The college does not judge students on the basis of the score granted by any entrance exam. Hence, no cut off score.

Eligibility: A graduate from a UGC recognized university with 50% marks is eligible for admission to the course at both the places. Plus, the score of any exam from CAT/ MAT/ XAT/ CMAT is considered.

Admissions Process: A shortlist is prepared of candidates with a valid score in any exam amongst CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT in both the colleges. The GD+Essay Writing followed by Personal Interview after the shortlist completes the process. BIMM also accepts the score of MAH CET and XIME considers ATMA and GMAT scores.

Course Curriculum: Following the pattern of London Business School with emphasis on producing industry ready candidates, BIMM appears appealing. At the same time, positive reviews regarding Academic engagement at XIME presents the curriculum in a bright light.

Other: The location of XIME being Bangalore, it claims being accessible to giants in the industry, thus ensuring better placements for students. As far as 'Student Life' is concerned, less focus on extracurricular activities, presents XIME in a bad light compared to BIMM.

To conclude, with a low RoI, XIME here seems to fall short in comparison to BIMM but covers up in academics and faculty.

What will be the better choice for marketing, BIMM or PIBM? Why?

VL
Vidit Lakhra Posted On : July 26th, 2021
MBA Marketing, Pune Institute of Business Management (2020)

For an MBA in marketing, PIBM is definitely a better option than BIMM. The points below state some of the key highlights of PIBM, along with some advantages and disadvantages of both the institutes, which will support the choice.

  • PGDM from PIBM is a much better choice than that of BIMM, having a guarantee of a secured future after passing out of the institute.
  • PIBM provides the best available training in separate sessions, which is one of the most vital aspects required to get a good placement in MNCs. In such training sessions, every individual is mentored with utmost care and personal assistance methods.
  • Guest lecture sessions are organized by the institute in which mentors from the corporate world visit and guide the students.
  • Throughout the sessions, you will be made to go through several Industrial visits, winter and summer internships, live projects, and assignments. This will offer proper practical knowledge, be interactive, and have good exposure to the corporate world.
  • Various students have been offered PPOs by top companies. In the in-campus placement, every student in PIBM is easily placed, being well trained through the mock GD and PI classes.
  • PIBM does not maximize seats in its batches. The total number of seats available in the institute is limited, which decreases the competition in placement. Due to this low competition in placement, students need not work hard for their preparation.

Talking about BIMM, there are some disadvantages that make it the less preferred option among the two. The main problem faced is the batch size, which is huge. There is a lot of competition in the placement of BIMM just because of this reason. The faculties in BIMM do not pay as much personal attention as required for individual students. This is also an effect of the huge batch size.

Therefore, considering all the points stated above, it is clear that PIBM is definitely a better choice, having a much better training facility and placement than BIMM.
