Huge good things with little disappointments.

Faculty: Teachers make us understand the importance of time. A hectic schedule is planned for examinations, placements, and other activities. The history of all students is properly stored in the system by the class in charge. Each and every exam score is important for deciding internal scores.

Stable results in placement and academic performance.

Faculty: For pricing academic standards, the top 3 performers in academics are rewarded with scholarships that cover their tuition fees. This really helps students from economically weaker backgrounds and motivates us to study better than before.

Placements were excellent in 2019 batch.

Faculty: Senior faculty members are very nice. Although some are very strict, but that is not much of an issue most of the time. You will learn a lot from all of them. They put a lot of effort in teaching. They are well experienced and give a lot of assignments to study upon. Course is very hectic. 2 years of studies is squeezed into some 4 months of studies.

Best course for Business Analytics in India.

Faculty: IIM Calcutta is very professional in teaching matters and all the faculty members are well qualified and knowledgeable. ISI Kolkata treats every student like their child and is eager to repeat any topic that you do not understand properly. IIT KGP also has good teachers.
