ICFAI Business School, Pune.

Placements: The placements are very good. Nearly all the students are placed. Established companies come to recruit students, and the college also provides internships. It is a mandatory process; the college makes sure that every person trains under a certain company. Mostly marketing jobs are given on campus, followed by finance. There are a few placements for HR, and some students are placed in IT companies. The minimum package is 4 LPA, the average is 5 LPA, and the highest is 12 LPA.

Infrastructure: IBS conducts lots of extracurricular activities on campus, ranging from sports to different managerial events. Sporting events like football, basketball, and volleyball are scheduled during the cultural fest named Zeal. Our library is in good condition; all journals, newspapers, and books are available. The college does not have proper parking facilities. No, the college does not have a hostel, but they help students to get PG accommodations. There is a single canteen where the food is good.

Faculty: Good faculty, well-experienced, mostly having 10 years in the industry and 10 years in teaching on average. There are some other guest faculty members from leading companies like GE, Britannia, Parle who conduct lectures.

Grow, enjoy and make memories.

Placements: All students were placed in the 2023 batch. The average package is 6 LPA. Bajaj Housing Finance, HDFC Bank, IndusInd Bank, and many other bank and finance companies come to hire us. We find internships from our college; they do not help us. The top roles offered are Manager and Assistant Manager.

Infrastructure: One main issue of the college is infrastructure, free internet is available in college, and the library has all the books, so there's no need to bring any extra books. Our college does not have a hostel, but they provide many PGs, separate for girls and boys; they have many brokers. So, no need to worry about it. Mess food is good in quality. In the college fest named "Zeal," all sports competitions are organized.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified; some are from IIT and Ph.D. qualified. The course helps us to be good managers, improving our skills in public speaking, leadership, and managerial skills, making us industry-ready. Exams are four times in a semester, once a month, and they are easy based on concepts. The passing percentage of the college is 80%.

Other: ICFAI Business School is the most reputed in Pune; that's the reason for choosing this college for my post-graduation. I think I am right.
