Both of the mentioned colleges are good but amongst the two, RIIM is far better when compared with PIBM in Pune. In terms of the fee structure, there is a huge difference between both colleges. The fee structure offered by RIIMs is less than PIBM.

• At RIIM, practical based methods are used for teaching purposes.
• The placement cell of the college does its job perfectly in enhancing the personality and skills of the students.
• RIIM Pune concentrates on improving the entrepreneurial skills of the students enrolled in the MBA Programs.
• Companies offer attractive packages during the recruitment of MBA students.
• The college provides the students with very good knowledge about the core details of the finance sector.

RIIM Pune offers the following Digital Marketing Certifications in affiliation with IIM Kozhikode: Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Optimization, Email Marketing, Google Ad words, Google Analytics, PPC & Mobile Marketing.

RIIM Pune also offers Value-Added Programs like SAP (Basic), Advance Excel, Business Analytics, Six Sigma, IT Skills from Microsoft, workshops at National Stock Exchange.

Having talked to multiple students studying in these colleges and based on the interaction I had with them here are some of the insights that might be useful to you:

• If you want to pursue MBA, go with GJ Bajaj of Management and Research due to location advantage and slightly better branding.
• All the mentioned colleges are tier 3 colleges so if you want to take admission in any other course, you can go with any of them.

You need to introspect and work hard for the MBA entrances this year and aim to get into the top or at least good mid rung institutes. That being said, if you have to take admission this year, no matter what, I would suggest going for GL Bajaj of Management and Research.

MBA degrees are provided by a university. While PGDM degrees are offered by recognized institutes. This is the fundamental difference between these two degrees. There are other differences as well, such as the following.

• PGDM is approved by the AICTE, while, MBA is approved by the UGC.
• While PGDM is mainly practical oriented, MBA is mostly theoretical based.

And to answer your next question, yes, PIBM is a good institute for pursuing a PGDM degree.

PIBM:

• PIBM has the approval of NAAC, AICTE, and is further recognized by the Pune University. In NIRF’20 it is ranked 76th for MBA nationally.
• PIBM offers various specializations that are in demand currently such as Marketing, HR, Finance, Business Analysis, and Digitel Marketing.
• The average package is around 6 LPA and as far as the highest package is concerned, it went up to 16 LPA, according to recent placement highlights.

Hope this answers your question.

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.

It might not be appropriate to compare colleges, as you should have faith in your skills and improve yourself to get into the college you desire.
