PGDM in Business Design and Innovation - Batch of 2025

5Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

The college offers good placements, faculty, and infrastructure , but fees are dissatisfied.

Placements: Almost all students are placed. It is a very good college, but the fee is quite high, so I had an issue with their fee structure. But, all placements are very good. People got internships in many companies like Accenture, Wipro, Infosys, and same for placements as well.

Infrastructure: I think the building is very small. college should be bigger and it does not have a ground. There should be at least one ground. But, Wi-Fi, library, and classroom facilities are very good. Talking about the hostel, I don't like the canteen food, but aside from the food, everything else is quite good.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. They assist you until you are placed. Faculty members try their best to make all students industry-ready. There are no major difficulties, but we have exams every three months in a semester, so sometimes maintaining attendance is quite difficult.

4Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

I am satisfied with college.

Placements: Our batch of PGDM E-business consisted of almost 120 students, and out of them, approximately 60% of our batch students got placed. The highest salary package offered was 17 LPA, and the average salary package offered was 7.5 LPA. Top recruiters were Moody's, Cognizant Technologies, Infosys, ICICI Bank, IBM, Randstad, Spar Hypermarket and many others. Above 90% of the students got an internship. Top roles offered were mostly managerial manager like regional marketing manager, consultant, business analyst, etc.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are air-conditioned and have Wi-Fi. There are also a library and a lab for business design domain students with a dedicated coach. It also has lots of activities and campaigns which encourage lots of creative and innovative solutions to challenge real-world problems.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified and experienced in their domain. Lots of industry professionals also come to teach specific industry subjects, which is a great part of study and exposure to the real world. The course makes students industry-ready and to face the challenges of the real world.

Other: I have chosen E-business marketing as it was mostly inclined towards a mixture of IT and marketing. I am from the commerce background, and at that time, I thought of updating myself into IT and diving into marketing as my majors would be a beneficial move for me. There are lots of activities, fests and compensation, rotary club and events happening which encourages a candidate to participate in them.

Ample opportunities for placements. Good industry exposure

Placements: Top recruiting companies are Deloitte, Infosys, Wipro and many more. Till now approximately 40 students are unplaced and most of them are of marketing specialisation. Marketing companies come in the month of March, April and May. Hope so, this year also the college achieve 100 percent placements.

Infrastructure: You will get all the required amenities here. Food is far better compared to college canteen. Daily cleaning is done by the stanza staff. You will get a card in which you will get a balance of 2750 at the starting of each month. Breakfast is provided every morning by hostel. You will have to get used to idlis and dosa.

Faculty: Excellent staff. Overall staff is pretty good. Thanks to the PPTs they provide, each concept is explained in an amazing manner. For some subjects you may have to refer to the reference books. But the better way is to get the reference books and relate the ppts to reference books.

Other: Campus is good as it is surrounded by different companies. You will get a good industry exposure and work culture.

Faculty: Some of the teachers are quite knowledgeable but course is not quite up to the industry standards and demands. The course tries to bring out innovative side of students towards problems but is not sufficient as is required in the actual business environment.

Other: I had opted for this course because I felt that innovation is one such field which is required in throughout all the industries. The best thing about this course is that it helps us to view things from different perspectives and bringing out innovative solutions to the problems.
