Stable results in placement and academic performance.

Placements: I got placed in the company Goldman Sachs. Nearly 40+ student competitors fought with me to grab this opportunity, while 15+ students cleared the first round and 5+ students cleared the second round. In the final interview, I was one of the persons selected for the reputed company with a package of 6.46 LPA.

Infrastructure: The layout of the college was so amazing, and they are offering several courses at very low fees. Cameras are fixed at every main location of the campus, so unnecessary student behavior and movements in the campus area are not highly encouraged at any time.

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.

Placements: Placements are fine. 90% of students were placed. Median annual salary offered was somewhere around 16-17 LPA. For this programme, placement is a bit challenging but we saw great placement score in 2018-19 batch. IT and consulting were some of the areas where roles were offered. It's mandatory to do an internship with this programme. Internship interviews will also be conducted by the institute. Internship stipend ranges from 25K to 50K.

Infrastructure: The college has a great library and facilities. Students also enjoy paid subscription of some magazines. Sports facilities here are average. It is an old b-school and space allotted for games and sports is less. College has its own sports club and many talented students also. There are various clubs in this college. Hostels are decent, although the infrastructure is pretty old, but you still get AC facility. Other facilities in the hostel are also fine.

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.

You'll get a whole semester (6 months) for graded-Internship (also paid). I think that's more than enough to make you industry ready, it makes you Start-UP-ready. Also, each and every one of your peers would be highly accomplished him/herself, so a lot to learn from peer-to-peer. The course gets updated regularly in line with the latest technology, theory, etc. In the Analytics domain (both Industry and Academics).

Other: This is one of the first courses in business analytics to be offered in our nation and quickly climbed up the rankings. With all three pioneers, I don't think there is any course better than this even presently. Our semesters were shortened and that made the course very intensive and rigorous. But again it was due to Covid and I don't see it getting repeated in the future. Lots of events and fests are organized here (right now on hold due to Covid). The campus crowd is as expected from Premium institutes, everyone is well accomplished. Scholarships are given to EWS folks.
