Department of management sciences Savitribai Phule Pune University (PUMBA)

One of the reasons is the college is based in Pune with all the amenities available in a small radius at an effective cost. The second reason is the strength of the college is just 180 students compared to other colleges with an intake of more than 400 students so the competition is just between 180 students and the best part is the ROI as the fee is less and if you belong to a category then the fee is not more than 10500 and the hostel fee, if you have a good merit score, will be just 1500. The admission process was so subtle and easy thanks to the faculties and the staff they were so helpful and made it easy for all the students. All the steps were well organized from document verification to college fee submission everything went smooth. Before choosing this college I did a lot of research using various websites such a the official website of Pumba and then collegedunia.com which gave all the information related to the college with student reviews which was really helpful

As I was always fascinated by marketing and sales and I've worked in a marketing and sales company I decided to opt for marketing and Pumba provides the best marketing course. As most of the students opt for marketing and finance there are not more than 60-80 students and the faculty is well qualified for all the specializations. They believe in practical knowledge than theoretical and help you in developing overall skills which are really helpful during the final placement. Most of the faculty members are PhD holders and some of them have completed their second PhD as well with a lot of industrial, corporate as well as teaching experience. Pumba has a trimester pattern and an exam is conducted after every 4-5 months. 50% marks are for internal externals and other activities carried out during the semester and 50% are for the written exam.

There are always live projects going on in the college and students get to work on those live projects with stipends as well. Pumba also provides intership programs for the students with good stipends some of the students get stipends upto 30-40k in various MNS. Various roles like operations, marketing finance-related are offered during the intership and most of the students are offered jobs through this program based on their performance.

Pumba provides one of the best ROIs as the fee is comparatively very less than other MBA colleges as it is a government autonomous college. The admission process is through CET and other exams like CMAT, XAT, GMAT. The DTE provides a scholarship for various Maharashtra students from various categories and also provide EBC scholarship for open students. The HOD is really supportive and if a student has financial crises they can provide you some time to pay the fee in installments.
