I have described all the factors about this college.

Placements: The placement cell of this college is less active, and the placement percentage is average. 35-40% of students get a placement offer. Companies like RBS, Genpact, and Oberoi are giving job offers at my college. Others who have not been placed sit in the Central Placement Office of this university.

Infrastructure: The college campus is so beautiful and spans in very huge area. Our college is on a total of 95 acres. The hostel rooms are properly maintained and clean. The food is so tasty and hygienic. Each and every room has an attached bathroom. All staff members are so kind and helpful to students.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are highly qualified and well-experienced. They always stand for helping students. Their teaching method is great and provides the best notes. They are kind and friendly in nature. The college conducts internal, semester, and lab exams properly. The faculty members solve all doubts of the students.

Other: The college placement cell needs to be improved.

Overall, it is a good college for the MBA course.

Placements: The placement record of this college is average. The college placement cell is inactive. Very few companies like RBS, Genpact, Oberoi, etc., hire high-quality students. Only 35-40% of students get placed on the campus, and others sit in the central placements of the university. I think college placement needs to be improved.

Infrastructure: The college campus is so big and very beautiful. The campus of our college spans 95 acres. Hostel rooms are well-maintained and properly cleaned. Mess food is delicious and maintains proper hygiene. The hostel provides an attached bathroom. Staff members are friendly and kind in nature. Here we can feel at home.

Faculty: One of the best things about our college is its faculty members. Most of the faculty members are well-qualified. They always help students with problem-solving. They provide the best notes. Exams like internal, semester, and lab exams are taken in a professional manner. Teachers behave very friendly with students.

2Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Average okay because of average placements, good infrastructure, and lack of teaching skills.

Placements: 50 to 60% get placements in BBA which is not too good. There are people who have potential and get but mostly don't get it. The highest package is 12.5 LPA. The lowest package is 6 LPA. Top companies are Tata Steel, JP Morgan, etc. Many students get internships. Top roles offered are data analyst and business analyst.

Infrastructure: There is everything available. Wi-Fi is full time 4G. Wi-Fi and library are too big and good. Classrooms are full of ACs, and some chairs are broken. In hostel, there are many complaints, in twin room there are 3 people with 2 fans. Canteen is okay and medical center is there.

Faculty: Many teachers are not skilled. They lack in operating smart boards and lag in teaching. The course is good and industry-ready. But only a degree cannot give you a job. You have to do internships and extra courses as well. Semester exams are not that hard its easy. Pass percentage is 40%.

Other: This course is best for students who want to pursue jobs in business administration. I wish I could get better faculty members for subjects like psychology.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

This is the best college for MBA course.

Placements: Our college's MBA placement cell provides students with the chance to secure jobs in the industry. 70% of the students secure placements, while the remaining ones in our college choose to pursue higher education. Cognizant, Wells Fargo, DeltaX, and others are the leading firms. If not through the placement cell, clubs also provide placement options.

Infrastructure: Facilities are more standard than those of any other college in Hyderabad. There are also classrooms with Wi-Fi, a large library, smart teaching, and facilities for sports and games. However, hotel facilities are not so great, due to the poor maintenance of all rooms and guest rooms. MBA mess is great though.

Faculty: Curriculum is excellent and helps you prepare for the industry and the outside world. Semester exams have a continuous grading system, which is difficult but can be tackled with consistent effort. Curriculum is appropriate, and projects and activities contribute to the overall development of students.

Best college for people who are here just for a degree certificate from a prestigious university.

Placements: I would like to tell you about the placements at my college. Only 30-40% of the people from each course get placed every year. The highest package would be around 12 LPA - 14 LPA for undergraduate companies like Amazon and Aurobindo often come for placements. Students also get internships outside the campus.

Infrastructure: Hostel says it's AC but no AC is turned on. We pay for AC but we can't access it. There is no proper Wi-Fi, and classrooms are great. But hostel is not good. We have our hostel mess far away from my hostel. I have to run to another building to eat food every time. Medical facilities are there, and no need to worry about it.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful but no proper guidance if we approach them for any doubts in the subject. All the faculty members are qualified but they don't actually give time to students to understand the subject properly. Coming to semester exams, they are totally different from what they teach us. Exams are extremely hard to pass. The pass percentage is too low.

Other: I chose this college for the fame, it has (ICFAI). The best thing about my course is BBA, it has specializations (artificial intelligence and data science). The campus is crowded, and people engage in a lot of useful clubs.

My knowledge of the college.

Placements: In my college, the average package ranges from 3 to 15 LPA every year for all courses and students. A wide range of companies hire students, from top to entry-level, based on their performance. There are three main placement grounds.

Infrastructure: My college has one of the biggest campuses with many blocks for different courses. All buildings have central AC and free Wi-Fi, and the labs are equipped with many facilities. There are two messes and a canteen where the food is above average. All kinds of items are available to eat.

Faculty: There is a good faculty for all courses. All faculty members hold doctorates. Internals are for 60 marks, and the remaining marks are for externals, where we write exams and must pass with a minimum of 40 marks. Faculty gives 60 internal marks based on student performance.
