The best college from my experience.

Placements: We have a summer internship at the end of the first year. Placements are up to the mark and as desired. The average package is around 11 LPA - 15 LPA in a batch of 360 students. Some companies are regular recruiters like Godrej, Loreal, PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, Hero, Maruti Suzuki, etc. My summer internship is at Star Media Group with a stipend of Rs. 30,000 per month in Mumbai. All expenses are born by the company.

Infrastructure: The course remains the same for all the first-year students with 3 trimesters per year. This is to provide the students with an in-depth knowledge of all the topics and subjects. Students get a choice to select the subjects of their choice in the second year. Specialization is decided based on the maximum number of subjects chosen from each domain. The hostel is good and newly built. We have double-sharing rooms with attached washrooms. The rooms are maintained properly and are cleaned every 4 days by the staff. The water facilities are there on each floor.

Faculty: The faculty members are well-qualified for the job. Overall, they are good. Some of the faculty members are excellent in their subjects due to their teaching methodology and understanding of the current generation of students. There are 3 trimesters each year totalling it to 6 in 2 years. The student-faculty ratio is around 1:15. Some good faculty members are also there. 4 specializations are offered by the institute namely marketing, finance, operation & systems, from which you can choose to specialize in your 2nd year.

The College Campus Was Neat and Peaceful

Placements: The placement process starts from the 5th term, which is from the 2nd year onwards. Companies like Tata Capital, Ujjivan, UPL, Sarda Groups, Mahindra Finance, RBL, Axis, Rise African, etc., visited the campus. The highest package was offered by Rise African. Profiles offered include Development, Agri, Finance, Marketing, etc. 100% placement was offered.

Infrastructure: One table, one chair, one bed, and a cupboard are provided, and only double-sharing rooms are available. The meal quality and food menu are also good compared to other college hostels. Hostel accommodation is easily affordable at Rs 25,000 per semester and food around Rs 6,000 per month. I was in the hostel, so I don’t know about any locality for PG. But it will be available around the college.

Faculty: As I completed my Bachelor in Urban Planning, I pursued Urban Management for my master's. The faculty-to-student ratio is excellent, as it is a very niche program, with a ratio somewhere between 1:1 and 1:2. The faculty members are very well-qualified, most of them having completed their Ph.D. Exams are held every 3 months, and the 2 years are divided into 6 trimesters.

Average campus life and good faculty.

Placements: Students are placed via the placement cell present on campus, which is mostly run by students. Case competitions also provide placement opportunities. Top recruiters are Tata steel, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, etc. Internships and live projects are offered too.

Infrastructure: The campus is of decent size, with the hostel premises taking up the most space. Wi-Fi-enabled campus with a stocked library. The classrooms are spacious too, with AC but not well lit. The mess food is not good, though cancellation options are provided. The canteen inside the campus is there.

Faculty: Helpful and well-qualified faculty who also stay on campus. Case-based learning and discussions. Some subjects might appear not so useful but otherwise they are well planned. Trimester exams are there and the grading scheme is designed to be relatively simple.

College provides good placements and good infrastructure .

Placements: 100% SIP placement with the highest stipend of 2 LPA and the lowest around 20k. Coca-Cola being the top recruiter. It was a little lower this year due to the market condition, which when good can be finished around 90% in December and the rest by January. Great case competition opportunities.

Infrastructure: Although the facilities are good and getting better, the academic area is smaller, and the auditorium has plastic chairs. The Wi-Fi, classrooms are good. The library is a well-equipped one. Hostels are getting better with new buildings being built.

Faculty: The teachers are quite good, well-read, and qualified and very helpful. Make sure to take things up from the basics, and that helps each and every student. The subjects are well-designed. The exam system is such that we have mid-term and then end-term with quizzes all through the sem.
