It is a decent MBA college with good infrastructure and placements. 

Placements: As an ex-member of the placement committee, I can say that the placements here are decent. At the end of the programme, apart from maybe a handful of students, all got placed. The highest salary package was around 24 LPA. The lowest salary package could be around 6-7 LPA, and the average salary package is around 12–14 LPA. Arctium, GEP, De Shaw, Infosys, Accenture, and 100+ companies attend our college for the placement process. Around 100% of students got internship opportunities, and many of t...

College is average with high fees, awesome campus, well-qualified teachers, below-average placement.

Placements: I am from the batch of 2020-2022. Unsatisfactory placements and mismanagement are observed throughout the placement process. The salary package offered is extremely poor, so I suggest not to expect any help from the internal committee. Overall, I won't recommend this college if you are serious about getting a good placement. The highest salary package offered is around 8 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is about 2 LPA.
