I am seeing this forum and want to give some clarifications as the current senior batch student of BIMM
1. BIMM is called as the flagship institute because it was the first institute of Sri Balaji society.it was initially known as IIMM when it was autonomous and when they went to AICTE approval they said the word "Indian" can't be used by private institute even if it is approved by AICTE. Hence the word "Indian" was replaced by "Balaji".
2. BITM (then ICTM) , BIIB (then ICIB) , BIMHRD (then ICMHRD) were started subsequently and hence is known as sister institutions.
3. Common admission Process takes place for all the four institutes at a time in 25 cities all over India. Since everyone does'nt apply for CAT and also as the supreme court of India has accepted 5 National level entrance test, 3 Scores are accepted by Sri Balaji Society.-CAT, to which the four institutes are affiliated, CMAT- which is conducted by AICTE.MAT- which is conducted by All India Association of Management Schools. CMAT and MAT Scores are however equalized to CAT scores. The total weightage given in the overall merit list for the entrance test is 30 % only. Therefore the cut off point is not relevant in Sri Balaji Society. They have their own merit list making mechanism which is properly published in the handbook. The handbook is available in their website (www.balajisociety.org)
4. weightage given to GD is 30% , to interview is 30% and for essay writing 10%. GD is a lengthy process of 45 minutes. Bala sir himself visits most of the centres and takes the GD which includes a briefing, interaction with each applicant, face to face clarifications, role play , extempore and a GD.I myself have gone through this and such is the case with everyone whoever has been finally selected.
5. Each institute has its exclusive companies also, although 99% of the companies have common placements for al he four istitutes.eg: Vedanta (which recruits 2 or 3 students every year), ICICI (which recruited 10-15 students) and HDFC are visiting BIMM and very soon all these will visit all the four institutes. Infosys visited BITM only. Though they visited BIMM also last year. State Trading corporation which offers 7.25 l visited BIIB only. Like this depending upon the vacancy the company visits and recruits.
6. The average salary in BIMM is slightly high because there is an Executive Batch with students with work experience. Moreover 50-60% of the BIMM students have some work experience besides being engineers.
We educated people should understand all the relevant facts instead of fighting in dark. It should also be noted that there is something known as “ individual capability”.
7. What is fact is faculties here are excellent. The discipline is the key word here. Those who can’t attend class regularly should be discouraged to join any of Sri Balaji’s Institutes. Life is tough but quite exciting. It has a rich list of alumni in the corporate world
8. When it comes to placements, it is a big fight amongst the four institutes as it is a common placements. So it is the “survival of the fittest”. The company lays down the criteria and the CV’s are sent to them. They shortlist and see the students. No one including the directors or even Bala Sir is allowed to interfere in the system. It is an absolutely open and transparent system. What is to be noted is all the corporate relation teams of all the four institutes get the companies for all the students from all the four institutes.
So friends, instead of listening here and the visit our alumni sites and talk to our alumni or ask your friends to visit the campus and check. A Society which places nearly 1000 students every year with good compensation in branded companies now for more than a decade has its own strengths. Do take time to visit our website and understand the information.

Hi puys,

Recently I got to know about Balaji’s form.

I did not give any All-India exams (CAT and MAT) but I gave Mh-CET

I filled SBS’s form and they called me for interview(which wasn’t exactly an interview).

They said you’ll be admitted to BIIB.

On enquiring the students I came to know that BIIB seats are still vacant.

I wanted to know why are the seats still vacant?

Is it ok if I take admission?

I am a lil doubtful bout the college, please help

I got selected in PGDM IB....bt in India currently there is no much scope in International Business........plz seniors suggest if i should go for IB or try to change it in Finance or Marketing........and is inter-college change is possible......cz whenever a newbie checks anything bout Balaji....he/she generally gets to know about BIMM......

Check What Arpit sir has posted. Its actually equal to marketing with few IB subjects. You even get the benefil of combined central placements. SO no issues. Hope that helps.

PGDM IB is more of Marketing... PGDM IB students undergo all activities similar to Marketing students across the society.. and that includes placements...

The only difference lies in a couple of subjects in the curriculum..

Hey dude,
Jus come down to earth. Jus to remind u tht ur college is not even in the top 100 B-Schools...and abt tht Fortune 500 companies, and tht too to your institute? May be for the profile of 'Executive PEONS'....:clap:

Hi Cat Meow
I can understand your hard feelings about the institute..every one who aspires for good mba college goes through such kind of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE..your views are respected at the forum..since ur new to PG just a suggestion ...make MAXIMUM USE OF PG..and bad mouthing wont help you..if you have any doubt please address it in a proper manner...

seems you have done a lot of research about the college..that shows your pro activeness to join a good mba college..All the best for a rocking management career

coming to your post:

you have raise questions about ranking..bro any one who is serious about doing a quality MBA knows that B SCHOOL RANKINGS DONT REFLECT THE TRUE WORTH OF A COLLEGE..MOST OF THE RANKINGS ARE BIASED AND RANKING PARAMETERS DIFFER FROM MAGAZINE TO MAGAZINE..so dont give much emphasis to B SCHOOL RANKINGS..

For people who like to measure worth of a college on the SCALE of ranking..just a quickie for you..about BIIB

business india nov 2009 A++ (53 th rank)
ranked 9th in maharasthra (csr )
b school with "best academic input in marketing...DEWANG MEHTA B SCHOOL AWARDS..NOV 2009
I8TH Most promising B SCHOOLS OF EXCELLENCE (CSR GHRDC )

TOP B SCHOOLS OR EXCELLENCE 33th rank..CSR GHRDC NOV 2010
I can add more and more..if you wish to have the soft copy of rankings i will mail you just pm me...

but a suggestion..just dont go for RANKINGS..i can show your dozens of cases where colleges have high rankings but there condition is PATHETHIC.

companies visiting for placements
you have raised queries about worth of companies coming for placements..
JUST TO ADD TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE..THE PLACEMENTS ARE COMBINED..and BIIB always grab a chunk of best placements..more than 200 companies visit us..though not an exhaustive list
which includes..maruti,itc,hcl,tata group,hindustan motors,reckit benkiser,vedanta resources...for a detailed list visit the link PGDM in Marketing & Finance Pune India PGDM in International Business India BIIB Pune

NOW YOU decide the worth of these companies and where they stand..

Though not handled all your concerns,if you still have any doubts or reservations feel free to ask..but try to be a bit polite..it will help you in a long run..

alll the best

Hey CAT!
You see there are always assumptions made by people like you who dont know the real picture. I wont comment on that, in view with the Right to freedom of speech which every citizen in the country has.
And as far as our college (SBS family as we proudly call it) is concerned, we study here and know it better, being a part of it.
And the placements happening this year are a testimonial to our belief.
You may keep thinking what you wish, but Wake up sid, its time to face reality. :cheerio:

Hey there!
The stats you quoted aren't applicable to any college in SBS.
I think you need do a little research before posting such vague figures. :thumbsup:
Though you're right about the fortune 500 companies coming to the campus this year as well.

Well to start with,, BIIB offers specializations in Marketing, Finance and International Business. For your query you must be aware of the increasing global competitiveness in today's business world.

Moreover, whatever course you choose to specialize in, you have to be updated regarding the global happenings as it affects the markets everywhere.
Also, working in a MNC would mean scope for International exchanges and the like.
