Dear Karan,

Your query brings out the comparison among the three colleges you have mentioned. All three colleges are unique in their own way. Now the solution to this lies in what exactly are you looking for. For instance, campus life, placements, social and cultural events alongside an engaging and practical curriculum, etc.

If we talk about RIIMS which is situated in Pune has its own pros like maximum number of students get placed every year and offers high Return on Investment. While Athena which is situated at the corporate hub of Mumbai, has been awarded the best upcoming management institute in the year 2017 by International Education awards. Coming to DSIMS that is Durgadevi Saraf institute of management studies, the placements and faculty management is average.

So now you have RIIMS, Pune and Athena Mumbai to choose from. A per what i have analysed, it is better to opt for Athena which is located in the corporate environment in Mumbai that will give the exposure you will need in future before joining the corporate industry unlike RIIMS which is located in outskirts.

Hello aspirant,
Durgadevi is improving year by year. For pgdm according to fee have good Return on investment but all depends on your hardwork.If you do well in academics with full dedication and determination and enhance your skills then it is worthful.
