Placements are good it but can be better.

Placements: Around 80% of students got placed. The highest package being 21 LPA and the lowest is 9 LPA. The average package is around 14.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are - Barclays, Bank of America, Standard Chartered, Accenture AI, Wells Fargo, and Citi Analytics. Around 25% of students got placed in Citi Analytics and Wells Fargo.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite good with neat and clean hostel and a good peer community culture. Library is good and Wi-Fi is okay. Mess is okay with both North Indian and South Indian food. Sports tournaments is conducted once every year which includes football and cricket.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good, helpful, and knowledgeable. Course curriculum is very relevant and rigorous and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are rigorous and with a very analytical set of question papers, which is a bit exhausting but helpful in the long term for us.

Other: Financial economics makes you industry-ready in terms of financial analyst jobs with a good amount of data analysis exposure. More focus on core economics would be beneficial. Campus is friendly with an okayish amount of fests.

My best college - An honest review.

Placements: Country's top establishments and organizations seek our placement cell to hire us. Almost 95% of the students got placed in these companies. The average salary package offered ranges from 7 LPA - 15 LPA. The rest opted for research opportunities. Most of the students were recruited by leading organizations like HSBC, Nathan Associate, IFMR, Citigroup, Symphony, and Genpact. Final placements in 2019, 114 students were placed. The highest salary package offered was 16.5 LPA.

Infrastructure: Our course had a duration of 2 years and boundless scope was constituted in our curriculum to explore the area of research in the disciplines we wish to flourish upon. Such research opportunities were the best part of our curriculum. Our hostel was the best place and mess was the worst in the college. There was no warden, we could go out at any time but I had heard that things had changed now. College management was little strict. Food was the biggest issue but now the caterer had changed so that was not a problem anymore.

Faculty: Faculty members here consist of guest lecturers from foreign universities too. Most of the teachers were permanent. They shared their experiences with us which helped us and enlightened students too. They were highly qualified. The course curriculum had vast scope for research and other opportunities to learn value-added skills. While we had a lot to learn in our syllabus, never had we ever felt it to be a stress or burden.

Satisfied with placement but dissatisfied with the faculty, except a few very good ones.

Placements: The placements for the senior batch have been quite decent. About 70-80% have been placed. The highest salary has gone above 18 lacs pa. The average has been around 8-9 lacs pa. The internship placement rate was 25% with the highest package being 12 lacs pa and average around 3.6 lacs pa. There is a placement cell in place which is quite efficient.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good. We have properly functioning labs and classrooms, all completely air conditioned. However, the hostel is quite sub standard. There are no ACs and 3 sharing rooms with a common bathroom on a single floor. The food of the mess is pretty average. They do provide a good variety of all cuisines.

Faculty: The teachers are quite helpful and knowledgeable, barring a few. Teachers often use PowerPoint in class. The teacher to student ratio is 1:30 on average. The course curriculum is helpful but could be improved upon to include industry specific skills.

Other: MSE has a very active social life wherein all festivals are celebrated with great enthusiasm and participation by all.
