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.
