Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2024

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, best college for MBA course.

Placements: At our college, approximately 65-70% of students got placed. The maximum salary offered was 30 LPA. Leading recruitment companies such as Avendus Capital, Deutsche Bank, Aditya Birla Money, and others visited our campus. Students achieving a 9 CGPA will receive excellent internship opportunities. The leading positions available included finance manager, business analyst, and others.

Infrastructure: Classroom amenities were sufficient. The classrooms lack air conditioning or coolers. This will become a significant problem during the summer. The classroom feels excessively warm, making it difficult to focus. The restaurant's food was acceptable but difficult to consume regularly. The hotels perform well, they feature a communal living space, and the rooms offer adequate illumination. Students had very good laboratories updated with modern-day technologies.

Faculty: Faculty members were very good, and they had high experience. Teachers were very helpful in clarifying doubts, and teaching quality was also very good. Semester exam papers were not tough to prepare and write.

My honest review about my college.

Placements: More than 90% of the students are offered internships at our college. I am currently pursuing my summer marketing internship at ElasticRun. Placements are very good for our batch and seniors as well. Almost 100% of the students got placed in our college. All the major MNCs and technical firms along with a string of FMCG companies visited our campus for placements. Campus placement is good as many companies come up with different roles for the batch.

Infrastructure: There is no hostel at the college as they are under construction. Canteen food is very cheap and hygienic. The overall fee is also very less and affordable for every section of society.

Faculty: All faculty members at the college are Ph.D. holders. We are being taught by some of the best faculty members here at IIM Sambalpur. We have Mr Prakash Banerjee sir to teach marketing subjects, and we have BBC sir to teach finance subjects. Some teachers have experience of more than 20 years. They also explain multiple real-life problems and guide us on how to formulate strategies in different situations. It's a very old college with very good teaching faculty, and it comes under Delhi University, which is India's number 1 ranked university. Course curriculum is a bit loose but the gaps are matched via the interaction with other department students Faculty members of course are the best-rated ones be it the dean sir or other visiting faculty members.

The hostels are good and can be maintained more and the mess food is decent hence there is room for improvement.

Faculty: Course curriculum is hectic, but faculty members are great, hence, there is a lot of learning in the two years of MBA. There are 6 terms in total, and each term is 3 months long and has two written examinations mid-term and end-term. The constant grooming ensures the students are industry-ready.

Review of Indian institute of technology, Sambalpur.

Placements: Placement in-charge gives newer ideas, helps us in searching for the same, it is helpful for many students to start their new ventures in various fields. And a few of us recommend joining master's courses to get deeper knowledge. So placement succession rates are also above 82%.

Infrastructure: The wide campus gave life to thousands of students for a year. As students from various colleges got the centers for writing their semester examinations in our college. So our college has so many facilities to handle all those things. Even to take online exams, there are enormous facilities in our college.

Faculty: I'm so lucky to get teachers like this, they would show special attention, training to the below-average students. Most importantly, teachers have wide connectivity with various industries and organizations. Also, they are so questioning even for small things.
