What are the merits of SIBM Pune over NMIMS Mumbai? Is SibM worth it for finance?

Both the colleges give an equal edge to each other in terms of establishment and worth yet if I had to choose one, I would definitely go for SIBM. I have stated a few points favoring and reasoning my choice

• Batch size: The major perk of SIBM over NMIMS is its small batch size in comparison to NMIMS. This facilitates better placements and teacher-student interaction.
• Fees: The fees of SIBM Pune is lower than that of NMIMS because of accommodation and living costs.
• SIBM Pune MBA fees: ? 13,49,000/Yr
• NMIMS MBA fees: ?11.95 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
• Hostel: SIBM Pune has a hostel facility in contrast to NMIMS which has hostels for limited people that too at a high cost.
• Campus life: SIBM Pune provided you with an experience of campus life which is lacking on the part of NMIMS.
• Placements: Although both the B Schools have a 1% placement percentage, the quality of roles is low at NMIMS due to the huge batch size. The time taken for the batch to get placed is also more in the case of NMIMS.
• COL: The cost of living is less in the case of SIBM Pune whereas a lot is in the case of NMIMS Mumbai.
• Specialization: While NMIMS is mostly known only for its Finance, SIBM excels in both Finance as well as Marketing.

All these points conclude that SIBM Pune is a safer and better option.
