Prestige Institute of Management and Research MBA Review By Deepak Sharma

I still remember those wonderful days when I pursued my MBA from PIMR Indore in 2018. PIMR Indore is considered as one of the good colleges for MBA in Madhya Pradesh. The institute encompasses quality learning, a bunch of co-curricular activities, and experienced professional guidance. The institute offers an up-to-the-mark platform to the students to showcase their talent, hone their skills, and overall professional development. I remember my two years which were full of learning, & fun. The college gives you amazing exposure, fabulous faculty, and really good placements to become one of the best choices for any MBA student. The only negative thing is the engagement, the college will keep you engaged from morning 9 to evening 6 or 7 hence you won't get adequate time for yourself.

The course curriculum of the college is good and industry-relevant. The course structure has been designed in view of imparting practical knowledge to students that benefits them in working with corporate. Classes are conducted regularly and extra classes are also available for students to solve queries of any subject. Besides, classes for courses such as SAP, Advance Excel, NSE, etc. are also conducted in the institute to impart varied knowledge to the students. PIMR is an autonomous institution and therefore the exam is conducted on the college campus itself. The exam comprises of internal of 40 marks covering different sections and a written examination of 60 marks. The only drawback is attendance as the institution compulsorily requires a minimum of 75% attendance and is very strict on this part.

Faculties of the institution are knowledgeable and co-operative. Faculties are always available to solve the doubts and queries of the students. They also exhibit case studies and presentations regularly on diversified topics to inculcate professional behavior in students. Faculties guide the students in their career developments. Besides, they also guide students’ regarding industry-relevant certifications.

PIMR Indore is known for good placements as the ROI is really good in terms of placements. The placement process is very transparent and begins from the third semester. Industrial visits are also organized in the institution once or twice per semester. The institute also offers a compulsory summer internship program across diversified fields in order to provide students a chance to avail themselves of the pre-placement offer during their internship. Good and reputed companies arrive at the institution for placements including Bajaj, Airtel, HDFC Bank, Bata, Deloitte, Bandhan Bank, etc. These companies took students from different specializations and offer them a decent package.

PIMR Indore provides separate hostel facilities for boys and girls. However, the hostel is not in their self-owned buildings, they have entered into contracts with other parties for this purpose. In terms of facilities, the hostels are good and both the AC & Non AC rooms are available. The hostels are very near to the campus and are equipped with security guards. Very good quality of food is being served in the hostel and is also provided three times a day timely.

The College is equipped with good infrastructure. There is a lab facility on every floor. College also offers sports facilities such as sports rooms, cricket area, football area, badminton area. Overall the college provides a good infrastructure with a standardized atmosphere and many events take place throughout the year. One of the biggest advantages is that the college is situated in a very good locality of the city from where all the modes of convenience are available. The cons include a high fee structure for the middle class, no availability of Wi-Fi, labs & classrooms are not clean.

The campus of the college is not large enough, it’s small. However, the atmosphere of the college is fine. Seniors are supportive and guide juniors in many aspects. Even the non-teaching staff is also very cooperative and helps students in many ways. There are more boys in the college as compare to girls and most of the students come from good educational backgrounds. Institution witnesses many cultural events, activities, and programs throughout the year. The major events include Manthan, which is a 3-day grand celebration, Pradhan week, a four days event, and Mfest, a sport event. There is no gender discrimination and ragging in the institute. Institute also has its own discipline committee to ensure that no such negative activity takes place on the campus.
