    My honest review of my college.
    Placements: Being an IIT, the college has a full potential for placements. There is a nice exposure to MBA students for working in the core companies. There are many companies to work with. I did my summer internship at Turtle, India, and my winter internship at Coal India Limited. Both online with the HR course.
    Infrastructure: There are 6 hostels for males and 2 for females. All hostels are good but I love Diamond Hostel because of the heritage it has. Rooms are spacious and we need to share the room with one person. The hostel fee is included in our semester registration.
    Faculty: It is a semester-based university. There is a credit-based education system, and it has a maximum of 10 credits. There are 75 marks for exams and the rest 25 marks are based on classroom performance, attendance, etc. Faculty members were very qualified in the past, but in the last 2 years, some good professors have left creating a void. The course is good but the focus is more on the theoretical aspects rather than practical. We have to take on our own initiative if we want to do something new and convenience the department once. If they are convinced, they will stand behind us to give their full support. The course curriculum is a bit outdated but professors bring lots of new topics for discussion. Pedagogy is also a bit outdated considering the fact that lots of other MBA institutes have innovative styles of teaching. Some courses are offered on a specific campus.
