Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM), Pune

The Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) Pune has a systematic and cognitive approach to all the courses and programs created for various career paths. The traditional full-time two-year residential MBA program is the flagship program with 240 seats, and students will be shortlisted on the basis of their SNAP scores as long as they are graduates with at least 50% marks (45% for SC/ST). The MBA program is a robust program focused on developing business leaders, integrating course work with real-world exposure. For the aspiring entrepreneurs, the MBA program in Innovation & Entrepreneurship offers students a more focused approach to becoming innovative entrepreneurs and building a business. This program has seats for 60 candidates, with the same conditions as the full-time MBA program with respect to academic qualifications, and will develop creativity and the skills necessary to start a company. Working professionals have the opportunity to pursue a weekend Executive MBA program, which attempts to match as closely as possible the rigors of a full-time course. The program is for graduates only with at least one year of work experience, and caters to working professionals who want to develop their management skills while continuing with their professions. All programs at SIBM Pune are focused on experiential learning and learning by doing, where students will learn theory in the classroom, while solving real business problems outside of the classroom. Given SIBM Pune's connection to the corporate world and the entrepreneurial ecosystem based in Pune, students will have contact with the corporate world sooner than they think, along with many other opportunities to develop their entrepreneurial capabilities such that when they leave and enter an ever-evolving business world, they leave prepared as a future leader in their respective industries.
