On Question asked by student community
Hii,
If banking, finance, and insurance are of interest to you, pick GIM Goa (BFSI); it has a strong brand and excellent industry connections.
If you enjoy managing factories, supply chains, or logistics, SIOM Nashik (Operations) is the best option. It's a specialized field with excellent operations.
Overall, IMI Bhubaneswar (PGDM) is respectable, but not as good as SIOM or GIM.
GIM Goa (BFSI) is the best choice overall because of its superior brand, placements, and potential for expansion.
SIOM Nashik is the best for operations only.

Hello student. My suggestion is to Out right go for IFIM Bangalore. It stands among the top and few of the best universities and is really good.
Infrastructure education and particularly placements are really nice with an average pay scale of 10 lpa, highest of 12 lpa.
IMI bhubaneswar is also a good college but have it as a back up option.
In these two, go for IFIM Bangalore
