MBA in Business Analytics - Batch of 2024

Overall, best college for MBA course.
Placements: More than 90% of students got placed every year from our college. The maximum salary offered by companies in India was 53 LPA, while the minimum salary offered was 12 LPA - 17 LPA. The recruitment companies for our college were Capgemini, Amazon, TCS, etc. Top jobs were accountant, auditor, etc. Most of the students got their internships.
Infrastructure: Our college had excellent infrastructure featuring modern classrooms and dormitories. There was rapid Wi-Fi access across the campus. The food at the mess was tasty, unlike at many colleges, and there were eateries and additional dining options. Nearly every sport was represented by programs on campus badminton, football, tennis, squash, cricket, volleyball, basketball, and table tennis. A hospital was also present.
Faculty: Our college had very qualified, knowledgeable, and supportive teachers, although the quality of teaching varied from teacher to teacher. The curriculum was rigorous and provided industry-relevant knowledge. But the proven benefits were based on electives and projects. Semester exams were difficult, requiring a deep understanding. The pass percentage was usually high but not guaranteed.

Review of University of Delhi, B.A. Hons in Eco.
Placements: It was a B.A. honors course, and many people were civil service aspirants as the course doesn't directly guarantee a placement. Some students also opted for higher studies, and some continue their preparation for the civil services exam, like UPSC and state PSC.
Infrastructure: The university I'd suggest was really good in infrastructure, all facilities like library, good classrooms, good canteen, medical area, and sports facilities were good too. The mess food was good. The hostels were good too, but the seats were limited in the hostels. We had Wi-Fi in some parts of the campus.
Faculty: The teachers were good, they took studying very seriously and were very knowledgeable. The course of economics was my specialty, and the teachers I got for it were perfect. The semester exams were a mix of moderate to difficult, as economics was not a very easy subject.

My Review of This College
Placements: Placement opportunities provided by the college are good. From the 3rd semester, students become eligible for campus placement. Companies visit our college and offer an average package of 3 LPA. Axis, HDFC, TCS, Wockhardt, ICICI Bank, Max Life Insurance, Ruchi Industries, and many more come for placement. The highest package offered under M.A. in Economics was 15 LPA. The college is tried and connected to various MNCs, which offer a wide variety of jobs and internships based on the merit attained by the student. Apart from that, students have to undergo mandatory internships in order to gain industry-based experience.
Infrastructure: Hostel rooms have enough space for two people. Hostels are neat and well-furnished. The management also looks after the maintenance most of the time. The hostel's mess food is also good, and there is a canteen where all types of food and snacks are available.
Faculty: Faculty members are very qualified and helpful. They focus on every student and provide better education to all. Along with regular faculty members, they also have visiting faculty members from specific industries. They try their best in every possible way. They arrange guest lectures as well. The M.A. Economics course is a two-year program divided into 4 semesters, with regular midterms and assignments for each subject. They have a semester system, organizing two semesters each year. Internals are of 40 marks, and externals are of 60 marks. Attendance is important for appearing in both exams.

Review of Delhi School of Economics (DSE), University of Delhi.
Placements: There are various internship opportunities available to get our social credit, and these internships are generally with local NGOs, but for internships related to jobs, it was all done by the students themselves. The college has its placement cell with ample opportunities at hand for all students. The campus placements witness quite a few large companies each year. The course helps me to find jobs myself after I graduate in the fields of human resources, law, social work, teaching, media, NGO, etc. The companies are usually PR firms or social services. 70% of students got placed.
Infrastructure: My course is sociology, where there is a focus on history, and in my university, sociology lectures are expected in the explanation class, which is about 2 hrs with a good explanation and digital classes. The course syllabus will be very theoretical. Long hostel facilities are awesome and most of the time remain clean. The food is fine. Food also depends on the contractor. There are some rules and regulations to be followed to ensure girls' security. The area in which the college is located is safe. Also, hostel charges were familiar for students, and there was a 24/7 water supply and electricity.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and experienced. They help in gaining exposure beyond the walls of the classroom, teaching. Each faculty member possesses rich knowledge, which is essential and helpful. The essential characteristic of the faculty remains their polite behavior. The course teachers are very good, well-mannered, good at speaking with students, well educated, supportive, and the student ratio was too good because all the students were present at every lecture. The exam structure is a semester system where 2 internal exams and 1 end-of-semester exam are taken in every semester, with a gap of 6 months.
