With aspiration and dreams in our eyes, when we travel along the hills, atop sits the beautiful and refreshing campus of SIBM Pune. The first thing you notice is the breath-taking view around the campus but more beautiful are the people whom you meet and who are some of the finest brains in the country. All this creates an enriching and rejuvenating atmosphere which blossoms the students’ aspirations into success and achievements.
The campus is a part of Symbiosis University which hosts several courses varying from arts to sports sciences which leads to great interactions ;leading to development of various view points and new ideas-A Kaleidoscope indeed!
But amidst all this, the rigour of MBA is not compromised. A typical day starts with lectures from some of the best teachers in the industry. Assignment, case studies, interaction marks the day with learning from all corners. But the most unique and enriching part are the regular visits by people from corporate world who include some of the illustrious alumni of SIBM Pune. Such interaction gives valuable insights and motivation.
The classes end with tea and snacks at the mess shared along with laughter and fun with your peers. But wait! There is a mail and it says summer internship classes at evening.
Sigh! Time for the next run.
One of the unique feature of SIBM Pune is its student driven culture. We have committees for placement, aspirant relation, finance, hr and well almost everything. All of them are managed by students from first and second year, who drive the students towards various fruitful activities. The participation in these committees provide students with leadership experience, time management experience and exposure to rigors of corporate world. And not to forget the entire administration who take pride in their students’ achievements and work hard so that all students get awesome careers.
Aha! Placements (yes the most pertinent question) well some of the finest companies visit SIBM Pune offering some of the best profiles, a testimony to the legacy that SIBM has created for itself.

Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
Aditya Birla group is one of India’s most successful conglomerate with interest across sectors like metals, cements, chemicals, fertilisers, financial services, IT etc. It would be an esteemed and fulfilling opportunity to be part of such a hallowed and respected group. As I am pursuing HR specialisation in SIBM Pune, I would like to be a part of General HR management cadre. As Aditya Birla group has a strong manpower base with varied skillsets, it would provide me with great opportunities to deal with them and help in their training, development, skill set improvement, strategic planning and development of organisation as a whole.
Across various companies like Hindalco, Grasim, Ultratech cement, Idea cellular etc., there is lot of diversity of working environment, skillset, workplace policies, labour issues,
Organisational experience etc. Hence these provide great opportunity to develop and hone one’s skills and develop into a wholesome and innovative HR professional.
