Institute that believes in creating the best talent rather than polishing the best! .

Placements: Almost 90% of the students were placed post completion of the course. Since the Marketing Research course is in association with Nielsen, one has to go through several rounds of evaluations and internships to secure their placement in the organisation. During the tenure of the course the students get ample opportunities to convert their class room leanings into meaningful practical experiences through multiple internships offered at Nielsen (across verticals) as well as client organisations. The starting package offered to the students during our batch was 6 l p. a. However, this has been revised (increased) considering the current market scenario and the industry standards. The students join as Research Executives in a Client Servicing role wherein they are equally responsible for execution of the research needs and servicing the clients (key accounts at Nielsen).

Infrastructure: The campus is equipped with state of the art classrooms, conference rooms, Library and Club house with other top class facilities like Swimming pool, Gym, Squash court, Table tennis etc. After a long and a hectic day the students usually unwind by utilizing the above mentioned facilities. Student Dormitories are equipped with all the basic amenities and offer comfortable stay to budding corporate executives. The dorm setup helps students in developing personal relationships and gives a new perspective to the people staying under one roof. Services like laundry are available at an additional cost (Minimal charges). The institute houses a restaurant which caters to the dining needs of the students. Dining is included in the course fees however, a-la-care facility is also available. Set among the backdrop of mountains in a peaceful location, this is probably the best campus that anyone could ask for.

Faculty: Both in house and visiting faculty members are very helpful and play a major role in shaping the careers of the students. Majority of them are practicing managers and leaders or have held senior management positions in the industry. With strong focus on the practical aspects, the faculty ensures that the students get to apply their classroom learning into answering real business questions. This practical approach not only helps students in attaining a thorough understanding but also ensures that the students are industry ready before they step into their respective roles.

Faculty: The teachers, both in house as well as the visiting faculty, are all qualified industry experts. The highlight of the course is that we got to learn from practicing industry experts who were able to give us hands-on knowledge. Every class ends with an assignment or project that helps you apply the knowledge to practical use. Multiple presentations, mock interviews, pitches etc. Were a regular part of the curriculum. Additionally, the concept of councils helps students take on additional responsibilities that can only enhance your skills. By the end of the 11months, every student is ready to directly dive into their role at work. The course also helps you get exposure to some of the top people in the industry, giving you an opportunity to learn from them as well as present your work to them. Would highly recommend this unique course to any student wishing to take up market research in India.

It is the best course for students who are aspiring a career in research.

Placements: PGPMR from Northpoint Centre of Learning is a collaborated programme with Nielsen. Students who have successfully completed this programme will be placed in Nielsen. All the students from our batch have got the job, and 90% of them got placed in Nielsen for the research executive role. The top performer from the batch has received the offer from PepsiCo in the CMI team. The salary package offered was 7 LPA and above for all the placed students. Regarding the internships, all the students have done two internships with Nielsen, one with the leading FMCG Manufacturers, i.e., clients of Nielsen and a rural internship. There is a student council which will take care of the internships for the students with expert guidance from the course director.

Infrastructure: The campus is equipped with all the modern facilities like classrooms, the library, etc. Accommodation facilities are the best, and the stay will be memorable. Rice Bowl where we eat food has great service and serve tasty food. The campus has a swimming pool, gym, table tennis, squash court, carrom and a meditation room as well.

Faculty: Since the market research programme is a collaborated programme with Nielsen, most of the faculty members will be from Nielsen, and they are industry experts. There are some faculty members who are from well-reputed organisations and in the research as well. It is the best programme for any student aspiring a career in market research. Students will be taught by the industry experts, and the internships will help to be industry-ready.

Other: I have chosen this course because it is uniquely designed with the expert teachers from industry and the internships needed for any student interested in research. The main reason for me to chose this course was it is different from the regular institutions and has a lot of practical knowledge.

Review of Northpoint Centre of Learning.

Placements: Placements opportunities in our college are great. The college provides 100% placement, but you have to complete the course successfully with 60% in each module. During the course, one undergoes through different internships which helps you to understand different vertical and their functions.

Infrastructure: The college is located in Lonavla. The weather and the locality of our college are isolated from the city crowd, which helps you to focus more on your studies. The college is well-equipped with facilities like classrooms, library, swimming pool, table tennis court, squash court, etc. The dorms are clean, and the food served is awesome. You will not feel that it is a hostel and you are in a residential programme.

Faculty: The course is designed in such a way that you can work in the office. Lectures are delivered from the industry experts directly, so we learn from their experience rather than outdated case studies. Especially for the research programme we get the brief and we have to do the fieldwork on our own. Which not only gives a learning experience but also gives us a broad understanding of the consumer.

Other: The best thing about this course is the course design. You will get industry exposure and understand how to approach the briefs. You will not only learn the business problems but also understand what your core competencies are. So, I feel the course is not only about learning, and it is more about self-discovery.

Additionally, there is also a rural internship that students are exposed to.

Infrastructure: The Centre has top of class facilities for recreation as well as education. There is a gym, swimming pool, squash court and a auditorium style Speaker's forum for debates and events to name a few. The classrooms are well-equipped with all facilities and seating style to ensure individual attention. The residential facilities are dormitory style which helps students interact with each other and learn team work (basic requirements in corporate culture). The students are provided with all three meals and tea/coffee twice a day at the Rice Bowl restaurant. There is a library with all marketing, strategy and advertising related books for students to refer to.

Review of Northpoint Centre of Learning.

Placements: Almost 100% of the students who passed in this course got placed immediately. The salary package offered was 6 LPA. The top recruiter for our course is Nielsen India Pvt Ltd. Top roles offered in our course are research executive across consumer insights (across verticals), media, bases, RMS, neuro, etc. These roles are provided in top-notch clients like Facebook, Google and Hotstar in media, Unilever, P&G and many more in FMCG. I am lucky enough to work with giant media industry bodies like BARC and MRUC. Almost 100% of the students got internships in the best FMCG companies like Unilever, etc.

Infrastructure: It is an amazing campus. Our college provides classrooms, Wi-Fi facility, library, gym, medical facilities, swimming pool, squash court, cricket area, lawn and hangout area. We were served amazing food (which had multiple options and would change as per our requests). Our college had a squash court where we use to go almost on a daily basis. There was a swimming pool which was super clean and maintained very well.

Faculty: All the teachers here are the experts in their particular domains (mainly in marketing, research). Especially, the dean of Northpoint (Mr Ray) was the best mentor ever who helped me personally in moulding my proficiencies and emanated true mettle in myself. The course curriculum is the best part about this course as it is designed in such a way that students learn a particular thing about the subject or topic and later gets a chance to implement it practically during various internships. So, it helps the students to gain industry knowledge and expertise.

Other: I chose this course since I did not want to pursue a general MBA and wanted to specialise in marketing research, where I would get a chance to work with the world's best research company. I wish that our college should make our course duration much longer, so it would help us spend more time at Northpoint and gain more knowledge. Our college organises multiple events like movie nights, music jam sessions, knowledge sharing sessions, alumni meet, special foodie days (where we would choose our own menu), dance, singing and much more.

Amazing course, enlightening experience.

Placements: There are 100% placements on successful completion of the course. Just need to work hard during the course in order to excel in the course. The placement rate is almost 60% of the total credits. They need to pass all modules in order to do so, and the toughest module is the dissertation.

Infrastructure: Amenities like classrooms, library, pool, billiards, tennis court, squash court, restaurant, amphitheatre, and sky court are available here. All infrastructure is well maintained, and the clubhouse can be used until 12 pm for personal purposes. The pool is 5ft deep and has gorgeous views of Khandala.

Faculty: The MR course is designed for us to be industry ready and hit the ground running. The internship experience is also great and helps in learning more about the business. Northpoint is a great experience, and there is nothing short of a journey in learning and self-discovery. You learn to work in tight deadlines, amidst high expectations of your team members and faculty members. I highly recommend this college.

Other: The college is situated in the gorgeous hilltops of rustic highlands. The campus is connected via auto and cabs from the main Khandala market.

I am satisfied with effective and practical learning exposure.

Placements: Almost 100% of the students were placed from our batch as a research executive. The average salary offered was good, above the industry standards and at par with the course fees. All the students in batch undergo 4 various internships during the programme duration, which makes them job-ready from day 1. Recruiting companies and salary package offered is the same for every student passing the course successfully.

Infrastructure: The location of our institute is in Khandala, and it is situated at one of the beautiful hilltops which makes it even attractive. The campus is adorable with well-equipped classrooms, library, canteen and other sports facilities like table tennis, pool, gym, etc. It helps students not only to focus on the studies but also to improve their physical health.

Faculty: All the teachers in our college are industry professionals and experts in their respective fields which helps all the students to get pinpointed practical knowledge which industry expects from its employees. The whole course curriculum includes 4 practical internships which itself explains the idea of course about getting the actual on the ground experience.

Other: Despite having an MBA background, I have chosen for this course because it was about specialising in market research, but when I left the institute, I got a lot more exposure than just market research. MBA course was more skewed towards a bookish approach of learning while it was more of understanding those theories practically.
