What students and alumni say about placements, academics and campus life
"I chose SPJIMR Marketing specialisation over IIM Lucknow because I wanted to do FMCG brand management. 67% of our Marketing batch placed in FMCG/FMCD — HUL, ITC, P&G, Marico, Asian Paints all came. The specialisation focus is real."
"Finance specialisation here is laser-focused on IB/PE and Consulting. 54% of Finance specialisation placed in those roles. I joined Avendus Capital after summer at Goldman Sachs. The curriculum (Financial Modelling, IB/PE, Corporate Valuation) is industry-tight."
"Abhyudaya changed me. Mentoring my Abhyudaya kid for 2 years built leadership skills I didn't learn in any classroom. SPJIMR is the only B-school that institutionalises this scale of mentorship and treats it as core curriculum, not extracurricular."
"PGDM-BM is for those who want general management. We had 52 students vs PGDM's 240. Smaller cohort, deeper relationships, same placement outcomes (₹33 LPA avg). I placed at Aditya Birla Group GM track."
"Mumbai location is the killer feature. I had on-site interviews at JPMorgan BKC during placement season — that's a 15-minute uber from campus. SPJIMR's Mumbai corporate interface is unmatched outside of Mumbai-based IIMs."
"GFT at Esade Barcelona was incredible — 3 weeks of cutting-edge European business strategy + cross-cultural peer learning. Came back with global perspective + new network. The additional ~₹3-4 L cost was worth every rupee."
"Work-ex cap of 5 years is real — I had 7 years and got rejected despite a strong profile. SPJIMR is genuinely targeting 0-5 year work-ex candidates. If you have more, look at ISB or IIM 1-year programmes instead."
