BBA in Marketing - Batch of 2028

Offered by Naipunnya Institute of Management and Information Technology

4.2

A good college for learning.

Placements: Around 70% to 80% of students get placements from this college. Several recruiters approach the college during placement time. The roles offered include Accountant, Manager, and Marketing Employee. Students get an annual package of around 5 LPA. Students also get internships from different companies. It is very good.

Infrastructure: The college has most of the facilities required for students to stay and learn. Wi-Fi is available on every floor. A computer lab is also available. The library has plenty of informative books. There is a canteen, along with vending machines and coffee machines.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful at the college. They are qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is also very good. There is a change in the syllabus due to FYUGP. It provides an honours degree, which is helpful for industry-ready learning. The pass percentage is 40%.

Other: All the events are good and enjoyable.

Good campus environment with good facilities and faculty.

Placements: Around 80% of students in the CS department get placed. The average package is 5 LPA. I do not know about the maximum and minimum packages. The packages are very low, but most students get placed, so there are enough opportunities. IBM is probably one of the top recruiters. If you study well, you can get placed very easily.

Infrastructure: I live in a hostel outside the college, but I know about the college hostel. People say good things about the hostel and its facilities. Wi-Fi is available in the college and hostels. There is a huge collection of books in the library. Labs are well-equipped, and the infrastructure is good. The classrooms are also good.

Faculty: The curriculum is, of course, bad, as you know, because of KTU. Teachers are good and supportive, but they also kind of lack progressive thinking, except for some good teachers. There are many good teachers, though. The first year may be hard due to many guest lecturers, but then it gets better.

Other: The union came last year and served the students.

You enjoy it if you have the same vibe and cool friend circles otherwise, not.

Placements: Sree Narayana College is affiliated with the University of Kerala. Personal college experience is average in everything academics, sports, and arts. Academics are okay-okay. No enjoyment. There are a lot of societal rules and norms.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay. There is a lot of water leakage in the hostel and no proper infrastructure. Almost all rooms are empty because no one wants a degree at all. The front of the hostel is filled with grass and students complain that they grow snakes in the hostel, maybe it is fun.

Faculty: The curriculum is average because according to my college all faculty members are well educated, but no one knows how to teach properly or how to share ideas towards students. Basically they know but can't. Exam timings are so confusing because of the University of Kerala. Teachers have a special power to interfere in students' personal lives.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and hostel facilities are great. Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, a canteen, a mosque, and a gym are all available in the institute. Everything is managed neatly and is accessible to every student. The hostel facilities and food are also rated 10 out of 10.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. The exams are almost easy for everyone. They are also well-qualified. The teaching quality is one of the best, and it helps make students industry-ready. The semester exams are conducted strictly and properly. The pass percentage is about 30%.

Joel review of LED College of Management.

Placements: Placements were excellent at this institution. Major MNCs visited the campus with different profiles. Some selected students in single digits, while others recruited in large numbers. We had tests, group discussions, and other selection rounds. It was quite hard to compete, as students from other branches also attended placements for the same roles. Many different companies came for placements, including Amazon, Climber, Infosys, Wipro, and TCS. They visited the campus and offered average packages ranging from 3–4.5 LPA. The highest package was 23–35 LPA, depending on skills and qualifications. Companies made offers to almost 80–90% of students every year.

Infrastructure: The hostel facility was good and disciplined. Students also had freedom, so they did not feel that they were away from home. There were enough rooms to accommodate all students. The hostel provided everything, and the mess food was good and hygienic. Proper care was taken of students' health.

Faculty: Faculty at my college was very good. All professors were highly knowledgeable. They taught us very efficiently and in the best possible manner. There was also scope for many extracurricular activities. We had a big common room where we discussed plenty of things. The semester examination system was followed. We had an end-semester exam of 70 marks every six months. In between, we had mid-semester exams of 20 marks each. Marks were also awarded for assignments and attendance. The exam difficulty level was moderate. The course structure was very good. There were many different types of research and activities. Teachers taught in a smooth manner, and we gained a lot of knowledge from them. The course curriculum was updated from time to time according to the current scenario.

The reality of MS College of Engineering, Kuttipuram.

Placements: The placement depends upon your skills. Compared to other colleges, we have high placement, and the college has a separate cell for placement. In my course placement rate, I can't tell because there are no passed out student because the course started only 2 years ago, and I have heard the students get placed in companies like Tata and all.

Infrastructure: About infrastructure, it is quite good, we have a nice library, labs, auditorium. The classes have quite good infrastructure. We have Wi-Fi in labs and separate Wi-Fi for normal usage in college, on phones, but we pay for it in 1st year, and canteens are quite okay.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified, and the classes are understandable, but the syllabus is less compared to Calicut University. The exams are very tough, and we can predict the questions. One time, they will focus more on theory, but the next time, they will ask more practical questions.

Other: Event, fest these things come very rarely. We feel completely bored on campus, only studying, and I don't recommend anyone to this college. If you want only studying you can come.
