Question 1

How is ISME in Bangalore?

Accepted Answer

A relative of mine attended ISME Bangalore. He was a part of the 2010 Marketing batch.The institute was recently established back then, only a couple of batches old. Here is a brief review of the institute based on his experience at the institute.

They had faculties from IIMs and reputed B-schools like SP Jain, etc. Overall the faculty base was pretty great and the members were quite cooperative. My relative completed almost 40 presentations during his time at the institute.
However, in terms of placements, the institute lags behind. The recruiting companies they bring on the campus placement drive are not that great. From my relatives batch, only a few students from the Finance specialization were able to get good placements.

Here are the recent placement statistics of the institute.

Average CTC	7 LPA
Top Recruiters	TCS, JP Morgan, Wipro

So, if you want good placement from the campus drives itself, then ISME Bangalore may not be the best option.

Question 2

How good is the International School of Management Excellence (ISME) in Bangalore for an MBA? What is their fee structure for courses, and what placements are available afterward?

Accepted Answer

I know a few people from ISME, so I think I can give you some ideas about the institute. The total fees for MBA at ISME, Bangalore is 8.25 to 8.50 lakhs.

ISME - Highlights:

There will be Guest lectures too, taken by industry professionals.

Hostel facilities and food quality are good.
The average CTC offered here is 7 LPA.

As far as placements are concerned, be on your toes and grab the opportunity as it comes. Have a clear idea of which type of profile or company you want to be engaged with. Also, stay in touch with your seniors to get notifications about job openings.
