Im a bit dissatisfied on the previous year student’s placements

Placements: 2% of total students have been placed now on the first month of 3rd semester with everyone 5.65 having Lpa. Federal bank, Info Edge were the top recruiting companies. Almost 82 percent of students got internship and have worked in different sectors for 2 months. Senior sales executives, Management trainee, Store management were the top roles offered.

Infrastructure: Students have full wifi accessible campus and ai integrated attendance systems in classrooms. Computer labs and library are good enough to study. The food in hostel is good when compared to other hostels. There is an operating team for every activities in college like for arts and sports. There is arts and sports lot who will work all the activities to conduct related games and program smoothly. And there is a doctor every evening for basic treatments. All other basic medicines will be available here.

Faculty: Semesters are not that much difficult but for our batch we are on the syllabus of Calicut university. This syllabus is not that much updated and from 2016 it is the same. Curriculums have to be upgraded. Some of the faculties like Ranjith Karat are more than excellent in teaching.

Other: I have chosen this course because of my interest in business only. The syllabus should be more advanced than now, and it should include practical sessions. Events and programs happening here like I-lead are very much interesting and the surroundings are naturally good. No scholarships for us. Students interested in extracurricular activities will be promoted on their interest.

Excellent College, Excellent Campus Life, Excellent Learning.

Placements: Very good placements are offered by the college. Last year, we had a placement from Federal Bank with a 16 Lacs package. We also have the policy of allowing internships twice a year, 3 months each, thereby giving students the best exposure to the market and industries.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus and hostel, with fully A/C classrooms, library, and labs. The canteen offers very good food, using farm-grown ingredients primarily, ensuring good health. A free clinic is available on campus for students and the public. There is also a turf and facilities for multiple indoor and outdoor games.

Faculty: The faculty members are excellent and always encourage the development of students both inside and outside academics. Faculty are available even at night for any help. Students also have mentors for any requests. The curriculum is focused on making students industry-ready.

Other: I chose this course and campus because of their motto of learning by doing. They provide us with many opportunities to participate in, conduct, and host events and programs that develop all the skills we learn in class in real life.

Review of LEAD College of Management.

Placements: About 80% of students get placed by the end of the academic year. During the internship period of 2 months, 100% of students got internships. The top roles offered are mostly marketing executive roles during placements by the end of the MBA program. I am not sure what the highest package is.

Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi available to students 24x7 with classrooms that have interactive teaching boards and a library. The hostel facilities qualities are okay and the best is being in a newly constructed hostel with self-contained rooms. The quality of food is better than most hostels.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful and the course has been updated to the latest. Just recently, it became autonomous in 2024. Exams are fine but I am not sure about it now. It has recently become autonomous, and some things have changed, so I am not aware of it.

Other: I chose this course due to the scholarship offer and the activities and farm that was represented. I do wish the time schedule was better. It was really hard to adjust at the beginning.

Yes, this college has hundred percent placement.

Placements: 100% placement is provided by the college, with top packages reaching 8 lakhs from companies like Aditya Birla and CSB. The college ensures placement for all students, with an agreement that if they do not provide placement, they will return the full tuition fees.

Infrastructure: High accessibility is available for Wi-Fi, labs, canteen, medical facilities, sports, and the library. The quality of food provided is excellent, as the canteen or mess serves healthy meals made from the college's own agricultural produce.

Faculty: The teaching quality is very good, and the course curriculum is designed to make students industry-ready. Faculty members teach the course very effectively, focusing on time management and leadership skills.

Other: The best aspect of choosing this course is the high opportunity for job placement.

Lead in your life with lead institute.

Placements: 100% placement If not, I will all feel back. The principles of college companies approach are good but not the best. The average CTC is 6 LPA, and the highest CTC is 12 LPA, as given by JARO. As said, companies that also offer internships are Asian Paints, Indigo, and Wildcraft, which have taken students for internships. Apart from this, many small companies also offer internships.

Infrastructure: The college has enough facilities: a gym, an open auditorium, a library, a canteen, and a residential campus with full-time Wi-Fi and food. The very best is teach fest for marketing; it is "macwar" for finance, "FedCL" for HR, and "LHac" conducted by management. The hostel is close to an academic building but feels inclusive within 6 lacs INR. We got three cots with a bed and pillow, a carrom and chess board, a charging socket, and a and a TV in one hostel room.

Faculty: Faculty members have good knowledge of subjects and are experts in them; they consider us friends, and we do too. We call them "Etta," which means to love once in Malyalam. Major faculty members are NET and Ph.D.-qualified. Curriculum exams are well structured; after each module, there is an exam as part of revision. Those who fail need to write a tree times paper for the for the final exam, which has similar questions as demo exams.

Other: I chose this college, and now I feel I did the right thing. College is good and suitable for me.
