SIBM Pune is ranked just below the IIMs and one of those B-Schools that are innovative than even the IIMs. Symbiosis Knowledge Village is the campus name where there are many colleges of the institutions along with SIBM. I couldn’t clear the entrance on the first attempt, and therefore I stayed back in Pune for 1 more year to prepare for the entrances. I was targeting IIMs, but beyond that, SIBM was my choice. I was so ecstatic when I finally got admissions here. The knowledge village is in Munshi. After missing out on the hostel due to low occupancy during BBA, I finally got my first hands-on experience at the hostel because SIBM offers only the residential program. One thing about the Symbiosis group of institutes that fascinates me the most is that you will find students with cultural and ethnic diversity. Our batch had students from some 20 states and from over 10 countries of the world. The institute that stated with the slogan “Vasudeva Kutumbhakam” has maintained this legacy since it started in 1978. Symbiosis Institute of Business Management Pune was the first MBA institute of the group that was at the Symbiosis main campus till 2009.Read Full Review

Students chase SIBM as their preferred bet for the MBA program. Every year around 70,000 students appear for SNAP and fight for 180 seats for MBA offered by SIBM and 60 offered for MBA executive. The cut-off for SIBM is over 99%ile, and one needs comprehensive preparation to sail through. After completing my graduation in 2012, I never thought I would ever enter a college campus for further studies. MBA executive program of SIBM requires 2-5 years of work experience in a top organization. The first eligibility criteria as appearing for SNAP and then cracking GEPIWAT are mandatory even for students pursuing MBA executive. MBA executive at SIBM is also a 2 years program, unlike other universities that offer a year-long program. MBA executive course is quite different from that of regular MBA as it covers only the necessary topics. A student at SIBM will never leave the campus under-trained as industrial training was a more credential part of an MBA executive. The assignments required all-nighters to finish them on deadline. All in all, the program offered by SIBM will prepare you the best for the shitstorm that one has to face in corporate life.Read Full Review
