My review about this college.
Placements: The internship is offered on campus in college. All big companies like Wipro, Amazon, TCS, DB, Delloite, American Express, etc., come for an internship in college with a lucrative stipend. IIMs have a 100% placement record. Placement starts from the 5-6th term. All big and reputed companies are our recruiters like Amazon, Flipkart, Walmart, Tata Steel, TCS, Wipro, L&T, etc. All official placement reports are available on the institute's website. My plan is for the job after my degree I don't have a plan for further education. The roles offered by companies are project management etc.
Infrastructure: Hostel rooms are single sharing rooms. Hostel rooms are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, study table, and has balcony in two of the rooms. Hostel has mental facilities 24/7, with a doctor 7 days a week. Mess facilities are great as well which have a pan India cuisine so that no student is bereft of their staple foods and dishes.
Faculty: The faculty members come from some of the most respected universities across the globe and the pedagogy adopted is at its best. They equip students with the right skills and knowledge to become future leaders. Apart from classroom learning, students are provided with ample opportunities to interact with industry leaders and experts from different domains. Taking the students through the realities of current and emerging trends in different domains. In the first year, all the functional areas are touched upon with slightly more focus on marketing courses. Many courses are very helpful like ethics, strategic management, business research, etc. The curriculum has the perfect blend of knowledge, intensive, and application which makes it one of a kind. The case-based approach and real-life applications make it student-friendly and help in the learning process.
