As per my opinion, it’s a really good campus with good faculty and infrastructure
Placements: If I talk about placements, this college is good primarily for the marketing domain. Those interested in marketing will find it beneficial, as approximately 50 to 60 marketing companies visit the campus annually. However, for those focusing on finance, this college may not be as strong.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is impressive, with well-maintained classrooms equipped with AC and projectors, along with gym and gaming rooms and a common room for boys. The premises are consistently neat and clean, the library is advanced, and the town hall is amazing.
Faculty: Some teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and their teaching quality is good. This course provides valuable knowledge in marketing and finance. If you're looking for an average college with reasonable admission fees, this college stands out compared to others.
Other: I chose this course because it offers triple certification upon completing my MBA. I would say that our college is improving year by year, especially in placements, teaching facilities, and curriculum.

Recommended for marketing specialization
Placements: Almost 80% to 90% are been placed each year. Remaining students go for off campus. Highest package is 13LPA and lowest is 5LPA for marketing students. Ultratech, Ion exchange, Colgate are the top companies. Almost 95% of students got internship. ITC, Dabur and some local companies of Maharashtra. Sales is the role offered.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of ISMS College is very average because it doesn't have any wide campus nor have any own building hostel. Quality of food in hostel is disaster & there are no field for sports. All are rented. Hostel is not recommended at all. Go for own PG or flats.
Faculty: Teachers are on an average. Not all the teachers are teaching good. You have to do self study. Course curriculum is relevant. There are only 4 industry visits for PGP students till now. Semester exams are not that tough or not that easy. Passing percentage is 75%.
Other: ISMS is recommendable for marketing specialization only. Don't expect much against your fees.

Faculty: There are 4 semesters. But in college, we have at least one test every month. The reason behind this, so that we can know our abilities and work on improving them.
