you need create own module extends base class mage_customer_accountcontroller of magento , overrides _loginpostredirect function. complete example can found here:

redirect customer after login in magento

now within above method of _loginpostredirect, can customer group using following code:

if(mage::getsingleton('customer/session')->isloggedin()){   // group id   $groupid = mage::getsingleton('customer/session')->getcustomergroupid();   //get customer group name   $group = mage::getmodel('customer/group')->load($groupid);   //echo $group->getcode();   // got group code, redirection } 

above code getting customer group acquired showing group customer belongs in magento
