Remarks

You will feel pressure of studies, projects, presentations, other activities like any other Bschool but this will help in overall development and the hostel life will make it best. These 20 months will become immemorable moments of your life

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is good and is up to date with most of the B-schools. They have trimester system so in a year the xams will be held thrice also there are separate marks for class presentations and other projects.

Placement Experience

3.5

The cplacement and job opportunities are good. Yes college provides internship and most of them are without stipend. The companies which come for internship in college are mostly consultancies and do not provide exact exposure of the corporate world.

College Events

There are two major academic events which happen and apart from this, since it is a residential campus so each and every major festival is celebrated which is organized by the students themselves along with a dj night

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure is feasible comparitive to other B-schools. The fee includes the course fee as well as the hostel accomodation fee. But the mess charges are not included in the fee because the mess is managed by a mess committee which includes students only and thus the expenses depend on the inventory bought for the month.

Fees and Financial Aid

The topper of the year is given a scholarship of upto Rs 60000. Also all private as well as public sector banks provide education loan for this college easily. Most of the people take loan from SBI because the payment cycle for SBI is good and preferred by college

Campus Life

4.5

The college has a beautiful library, a basketball court, a separate ground for playing football or volleyball. The computer lab is well equiped with systems. Apart from this there is gymnasium, as well as yoga hall too

Hostel Facilities

4.5

The hostel is very very good they provide single rooms for everyone. The rooms are in very good condition. On each floor there are clean washrooms which are common so basically one washroom is shared by 4 people only and since it is a residential campus so each and every person has to stay in hostel

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Yes the alumni network is powerful infact there is a committee in college which focuses majorly on connecting with the alumnis of the college. There is an alumni meet also organized yearly in Bangalore or in the campus.

Admission

I gave CAT exam and filled an online form for this college, then i was shortlisted based on my CAT score and then an interview was scheduled which included 3 rounds- impromptu writting, group discussion and then personal interview

Faculty

The faculty is good, few of them infact are very good, very knowledgeable and experienced. However i feel one or two faculty members are partial and sometimes they prefer people from south India more because the college is in Karnataka

Diversity - We have students from 24 states and gender ratio is equal in all the sections of the batch.
Faculties are very well qualified with a minimum of 10-years industry experience from IIT's & IIM's and also with international exposure.
Security in the campus is very robust which ensures complete safety of the students. Also, there is a separate warden in boys and girls hostel along with 2 security guards.

Dislikes

Discipline - The college is very strict regarding dress code and timings.

Placement Experience:

Last year, around 200+ companies came in our campus for recruitment from various sectors of various industries. Most of the students got converted through PPO's during the 4 to 6 month paid ITP program. Students become eligible for placements after passing all the exams in the third trimester and also after completing their POVAT courses. Top Companies that visited our campus are - Deloitte, KPMG, E&Y, Grant Thornton, Wipro, Dabur, Accenture, and many more. The average package was 9 LPA and the highest package offered was 17 LPA. The placement rate for the PGDM is 98%

Great blend of academics and real industry exposure.

Likes

Faculty is genuinely supportive and always ready to clear doubts, even outside class hours.
Programs like CPMP, IRE, and BMP add real practical value beyond regular textbook learnings.
Campus life is lively with fests, guest sessions and clubs, making it easy to stay engaged.

Dislikes

As a dayscholar, commute during peak traffic hours in Bangalore can get a bit tiring at times.

Placement Experience:

Since we are going into our 2nd year, our batch hasn't been through campus placement yet. Based on previous batch records, though, students are typically eligible for placements from the 4th trimester onwards, once internships are completed. GIBS had a strong track record, with over 200+ companies visiting campus, including names like Amazon, Accenture, Wipro, Mahindra Finance, etc. The highest package offered was around 20 LPA, and average package was around 8.3 LPA

B-School of great choice in Bangalore

Likes

The college is usually focused on creating a transformative experience for the students. The students here get exposed to practical knowledge more than just theoretical knowledge in classes.
All the subjects include projects which is mandatory which makes the students to get real time experiences outside the college by meeting people outside college.
The students also get to work on a tight schedule throughout their MBA which is a great thing, there will always be something to keep us occupied like events, competitions and sessions which gives real world exposure to students

Dislikes

The college is strict in most of the aspects as they maintain high discipline all the time
Hostel closing time is at 9PM, so it's more restriction on students to go out and order food

Placement Experience:

The placements are good. The college has totally 6 semesters and after the 4th semester the students are eligible to attend the placements. The students need a minimum of 4.8/8.00 CGGA to sit in the placements The companies which visit here are - EY, KPMG, Mindsprint, Lowe's, Accenture, Tata Power, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Sabre, Oxane, Well's Fargo. The highest package was from Lowe's and the package was 23.7 LPA and the role was Product manager, it was offered for people from engineering background and with 2 years of experience. The average package here is 10.5LPA and most of the companies come for this range. The percentage of students getting placed is close to 95% as some of them don't clear the eligibility and some don't get placement event with good CGPA. Plans after getting degree is to join work and continue to learn

Faculty: The faculty has a good practical and real life knowledge. Which helps in leaning industry standard skills.
Opportunity: College provides good opportunity and exposure for perfect growth of student.

Dislikes

Campus: The campus of college is not very big, which limits students in organizing bigger occasion.

Placement Experience:

College provides a proper assistance for placements, all students gets placed, exception of 2-3 students are there, placements starts for summer internship one two months after entering the college, the procee is on till maximum of students gets placed. In and arround 50-80 companies visit campus for hiring and offers is made to every possible students eligible. Highest package stands at 18 lakhs and is between 10 to 11 lakhs. Nearly every students gets placed, exception of 2-3 students are there. Ambition and aspiration in my views changes as time proceeds, so I believe in short term goal making, though my plans post degree is to get placed in an MNC to kickstart my career from good position, where learning graph is very high.

Practically 80% of my 2020 batch was given job offer by top recruiting organizations like Amazon, iGate, Accenture, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, DE Shaw & Co. Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.

SDMIMD and its peaceful life

I had applied to CMS Jain Bangalore, PES university Bangalore and Symbiosys Pune. However with few student feedback from CMS Jain and PES Bangalore I decided not to join them, when it comes to Symbiosys Pune I felt the fee structure is not financially viable for my family we we did not go with student education loan option. I choose SDMIMD comparing all the factors like faculty, placement support and the reviews from alumni students. All the students to be eligible have to complete their 10th, 12th and Undergraduate degree with not less than 60% of marks, work experience will be added advantage....Read More
