I'm happy with this college.
Placements: Around 75 students got placed in rural management. The highest salary package offered was 8 LPA and the lowest salary package was 1 LPA to 2 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Ujjivan small finance bank, IDFC, and Polycab India. Around 99% of students got placement in companies like Polycab India, IDFC, Rajeevika BRLPS, JSLPS, Manipal Tata medical college, Annapurna Finance, Ujjivan small finance bank, Bharat financial inclusion ltd, Federal Bank, Support, FES, Centrum, and St Jude India Childcare centers. Around 100% of students got internships in companies like TSF, BRLPS, Srijan foundation, Phia foundation, etc. Students got placements at IDFC as Managers.
Infrastructure: Our college provided the proper facilities needed for the rural management course. Library consisted of many books and online sites were available on the computers in the library. There were proper computer labs with Wi-Fi. Classrooms with air conditioners and projectors were available. Hostel was neat and clean and served tasty food. Food served in the canteen was tasty because the same chef was cooking food in the college and hostel. They served kachori in the breakfast every morning. Canteen kachori was famous as it was tasty.
Faculty: Teachers in our college were well-qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. Their teaching quality was very good. They explained every topic very clearly with real-life examples. The course curriculum included some financial subjects, so some finance companies visit our college to offer placements. Many students belonging to accounts or BBA opt for these companies. As I belong to the pandemic batch we attended 18 months of online classes but the last 6 months were memorable and got the opportunity for rural camp visits. Around 98% of students scored a 7 CGPA and more.
Other: I chose this course because my educational background was in Science and I came from a semi-rural area where I spent my childhood observing the rural people and their culture, ethics, lifestyle, etc. I want to work for poor rural people. The best thing about rural management was students learn many things about rural areas and how to manage things happening in rural areas. Our college should focus a bit on urban areas.
