m: Sir, Plz tel me what is the avg packaeg at SIBM bangalore and the ranking of SIBm,,..Is it in top50 or what???

saikumar: SIIB

hisir: As it is given in the intro of that B-school ranking page that all the colls under a particular cateogary are almost of the same level .. does that mean that KJ somaiya and SCHMRD are almost of the same level ( as they are given under the same cateogary AA).. thanks in advance !!

pranav: siib is a good college and its degree is valued. But as you have a good profile and a job, you can consider working for a couple of years and then again writing all the exams. then you can aim to get into the top 10 - 20 colleges. However, you have to consider the fact that it is not easy too study while working. So talk in detail with a faculty member and decide

patel: then why it is not in the top 50 list...bharat sir
bharat: the school is new and hence no track record; however, our exp and feedback from SIBM-B students have good things to say about it; also the good name of its parent campus will have a +ve ruboff on the new campus - like IIM-S coz of the older IIMs
