It is in a calm place with a good hostel and campus life, decent faculty and average placements.

Placements: About 90% of the students were placed from our course in decent and well-reputed companies with a decent salary package. About 80% of the students got internships in different locations. Some of the students got internships on their own and in their own location. Marketing, finance, HR, international business, operations and business analytics are the roles offered here.

Infrastructure: College life was very good here, and our college was situated in a very calm location without any type of distraction. The hostel was decent with a good space facility, and there are individual wardrobes. The mess and canteen provide a decent kind of food, which is a combination of food of PAN India level.

Faculty: Some teachers here were kind, helpful and knowledgeable. But the only thing which college lacks is it doesn't provide corporate knowledge. Semester exams were not very difficult, and students can pass them if they listen carefully in the classroom. The pass percentage is 80%.

Other: I suggest our college to provide professional or corporate knowledge. The crowd is average.

It has state-of-the-art infrastructure with unlimited possibilities for learning and development.

Placements: KIAMS has a dedicated placement cell and programs that ensure that the students are well prepared not only to enter the corporate world but also to transform into great business leaders. Even in the pandemic academic year (batch 2019-21), the institute seamlessly placed over 97% of their students, with over 40% of students joining 3 of the Big 4. The average package offered for the same batch was over 7.4 LPA. In the same year, the first-year students got placed in big companies for their business immersion (summer internships). Some of the companies that mass recruited our students were KFIL, KOEL, Amul, Outlook Group, Cargill India, and Landmark. Every student is being paid pretty well as per the industry standard.

Infrastructure: It's a lush green campus spread over 6 acres of land. We have 3 hostel blocks, 1 for girls and 2 for boys. We can play various outdoor and indoor games like cricket, football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, carrom and chess. We also have an in-house swimming pool.

Faculty: KIAMS academic curriculum is designed according to industry-specific standards. The curriculum is a perfect blend of experiential and traditional learning methods. The faculty members here are very well aware of what corporate expects, and they are very supportive in every way they can. Most of the faculty members are experienced industry experts, and they make sure that they make the subject interesting and all concepts clear. The campus had amazing professors with in-depth knowledge of their subjects. The syllabus is up to date and covers all aspects of a subject. It provides practical knowledge of the subjects. The college organises various seminars and workshops. All the faculty members are PhD holders from top universities in India and abroad. Most of the faculty members are handpicked, and they have immense industry exposure.

Other: In KIAMS, we have clubs for each specific domain like finance club, marketing club, operations club, HR club, and analytics club. The best part about these is that it is completely managed by the students in direct co-ordination with faculty and industry experts. These all clubs are active for learning and performing. This year, some of the clubs conducted inter-college competitions for undergraduates in their interested domain. Events like these will make a student believe they're empowered and improve their management and decision-making skills. KIAMS is indeed a student-driven college.

It provides a good opportunity for students and has good ROI.

Placements: About 50% of the students got placed until now, and the placement session is still going on. Until now, the highest salary package offered is 9.5 LPA. The average salary package offered is 4.8 LPA. Our college has a tie-up with some companies like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Satguru Travels, Deloitte, etc. Top roles, like business analytics, management trainee, senior marketing executive, etc., are offered to the students. Almost 100% of students get an internship at our college.

Infrastructure: The hostel building is old, but the environment and facilities are good. Our college provides 24 hours Wi-Fi facility, gym, sports ground, and swimming pool for students. Food is served in the mess, and it is located downstairs of classrooms. The library is good. Canteen facility is not available.

Faculty: Faculty members in our college are highly qualified from IIMs and IITs. They are PhD holders. Faculty to student interaction is good. Less amount of students in the class make a more friendly environment with faculty. There are 7 permanent faculty members, and others are visiting faculty members. The course curriculum is relevant to the industry.

Other: I have chosen KIAMS and PGDM in finance because I want to start my career in banking industries. The college has several clubs and representative who organise extracurricular events, and they are held by the students.

Good in terms of ROI, great faculty and nice placements.

Placements: Placement ratio in KIAMS is pretty good. 1. KIAMS have 90 + percent of placement record each year this year in our senior there are 50 percent student are placed and placement session still going on. 2. The highest salary till now is 14 lacs and the average salary is 5 lacs since session still going on so this figure will change. 3. Top role is business consultant, territory manager, deputy manager etc. 4. Top recruiters are Amazon, ICICI, HDFC, Kantar, Modi analytics, satguru travels etc. are few of them. 5. My course is marketing, and till now the highest package is 11 lacs and average is 4.9 lacs. 6. 100 percent internship provide to student in various company.

Infrastructure: 1. KIAMS has good infrastructure, well-maintained computer lab, best library with ample amount of knowledge, 24 hour Wi-Fi availability. 2. They provide good lodging, nice hospitality, and food in mess okay type because being a North Indian student to adjust in south Indian food is some difficult but you can adjust. 3. There is no canteen in the campus. But a shop is available that provide you everything, Evan market is just 1 km from campus. 4. There are gym, ground for sports, sport room, swimming pool etc.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified with good teaching approach. But permanent faculty are too less. Mostly we get guest faculty, Quality of carriculam is Rich and Industry focused. Quality of time you can spend with your faculty because of less strength, faculty are too supportive and friendly.

Other: 1. I choose PGDM in marketing, as you all know that every company need marketing people to make a presence in the market. 2. It is a broad industry and a well-known domain. 3. PGDM is a course with 80 percent practical and 20 percent theories you need.

If you have options then go with other one. This college is not worth for money.

Placements: Average. Very less number of student got placement according to the specialisation (eg. A core marketing guy got job for sales profile but in finance company so he have to sell financial products). Not much corporate connection to approach companies. Only pool placement ( only 1 or 2 companies came for interview in the campus, other students have to go Bangalore or Pune for pool campus interview). International placement - Dubai and Africa only. No FMCG companies came for our batch. Average salary- CTC (4.5 - 5) Not good for HR students, Not good for Operations students, for finance students - only 4-5 companies came, average for marketing guys (but mostly sales profile). Internship - most of the students got from college, some own effort.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay. Greenery all around. But the location is not good (remote area). Campus is full covered with cameras, it feels like one is in big boss home. Medical facility is not that good. Only 1 or 2 classroom seems like we are in MBA college other ones are normal. Food is pathetic. Hostel rooms - average, not good ( Boys hostel is good).

Faculty: Student to faculty ratio - 15:1 In college brochure, it is mentioned that students will enjoy 6-7 industrial visits. But they took us one time only and that's also not effective visit, means no learning. Faculty is qualified enough and knowledgeable also and about the subject well. But the main problem here is management. In this management college management is not good. Because of management students suffered.

The campus crowd and lifestyle at this college are very good.

Placements: Placements in the college went well. There were 98% placements for our seniors, and good companies came for internships also. The internships were paid and non-paid. Amazon and HDFC are the major companies that come for placements. Last year, ITC and Marico came to recruit students of retailing, and this year also both of them came for placements. Banking and financial companies are the major recruiters.

Infrastructure: The campus has a natural environment where we can enhance our lives accordingly. Hostel and classrooms are on one campus which helps students manage their time. All facilities are available in the hostel. There are AC classrooms and medical facilities available in college.

Faculty: Faculty members here are very helpful, and in-house faculty members are available to clear the doubts of students. Apart from this, students can get clarification on any current topic whether or not it's related to the subject. The courses are well-designed, and it is ensured that students understand them well.
