Honest review of BIMS college.

Placements: We were passed out in the year 2023, and small companies came for placements, mostly for women. There are call center jobs available. The campus is small; it does not have a canteen. If we need to eat, we need to go out for snacks. Parking is available.

Infrastructure: We have computer labs and a projector in the class, which is not used daily. We have a library like other colleges where we can come and study. We can borrow books and return them after some days. Drinking water facilities are available.

Faculty: I had taken B.Com the college comes under bu University and we had 6 semesters which had 3 years of the education for us and we have 2 internal exams between each semester and if we have attendance shortage we should pay fine then we will have the hall ticket .

Other: I chose B.Com and passed out in the 2023 batch. Now we have a new campus for freshers.

Never Join this college as a day scholar but you can as a correspondence student.

Placements: In this college there is no placements even for students who scored more than 8 CGPA. 2.5LPA is the highest salary placement for a student. So please if you have to want to make double degree then you can choose this college for it. You can join this college as correspondence student.

Infrastructure: This college provides facilities in computer lab. But the computers are of 2000s model they are slow in working. They don't even install the applications required for the subject. They don't even have a good keyboard or mouse for computers. The faculty members are also not well graduated.

Faculty: The faculty members are not well graduated. They have a projector facility but they have only one / two projector for the whole college. The faculty members where among four only one will be having a good English accent but coming to the knowledge or about the course have less knowledge about it.

I would recommend the college to you because it has very good quality teaching.

Placements: The percentage of eligible students for particular courses is more than 60%. The highest salary package offered was 4.5 LPA and the lowest salary package offered was 2.5 LPA. Many multinational companies like Flipkart, Samsung, Harman, JP Morgan, Amazon, etc., visited our campus. For internships, there was no need for any percentage. Top roles offered were in finance, sales marketing, human resources, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our course and department was very good. Our classrooms were very comfortable for students and large enough for only 40 to 50 students per classroom. Labs were very good and more than 60 computers were available. There was Wi-Fi and all books for specific courses were available in the library. Newspapers were provided and a canteen was available on this campus.

Faculty: In our college, there were very well-educated faculty members. The teaching quality was outstanding. They were very friendly and well-educated. They were very knowledgeable and guided students very well in their studies. The course curriculum is relevant. Students were very useful in the industrial visit program. It was a little bit easy to pass, with passing marks of 25 out of 70.

Other: I chose this course because my PUC was on a commerce background. It's easy to study well and comfortably. In this course, the understanding was good but the syllabus was very long and corporate sector based. There were good events in all the large festivals and a yearly one-fest. Scholarships were also available for eligible candidates above first class and distinctions. The campus crowd was not too much. The campus surroundings were good and there were hostels. Good food was served. There is a metro on the other side and a bus stop within 20 meters.

Honest review of our college.

Placements: Placements offered in our college are good. In the final year the companies come and offer jobs to the students. Average package offered is 3 LPA, which is like 25K per month. It is a good offer, and many companies come to our college to offer jobs.

Infrastructure: No hostel facility is provided by our college to students. Currently no hostel facility is offered. Many courses are provided from our college such as B.Com, BBA, BCA, MBA and M.Com.

Faculty: The faculty is good with students. Every teacher is specialized for individual subject. For sanskrit there’s no teacher. The teachers will do crash course at the end of semesters but it makes exams a little difficult for the students.

Other: There is no campus and there is no canteen in the college and they provide less internal marks.
