4Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Good in terms of ROI, great faculty and nice placements.

Placements: Placement ratio in KIM is pretty good. 1. KIM have 90 + percent of placement record each year this year in our senior there are 50 percent student are placed and placement session still going on. 2. The highest salary till now is 14 lacs and the average salary is 5 lacs since session still going on so this figure will change. 3. Top role is business consultant, territory manager, deputy manager etc. 4. Top recruiters are Amazon, ICICI, HDFC, Kantar, Modi analytics, satguru travels etc. are few of them. 5. My course is marketing, and till now the highest package is 11 lacs and average is 4.9 lacs. 6. 100 percent internship provide to student in various company.

Infrastructure: 1. KIM has good infrastructure, well-maintained computer lab, best library with ample amount of knowledge, 24 hour Wi-Fi availability. 2. They provide good lodging, nice hospitality, and food in mess okay type because being a North Indian student to adjust in south Indian food is some difficult but you can adjust. 3. There is no canteen in the campus. But a shop is available that provide you everything, Evan market is just 1 km from campus. 4. There are gym, ground for sports, sport room, swimming pool etc.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified with good teaching approach. But permanent faculty are too less. Mostly we get guest faculty, Quality of carriculam is Rich and Industry focused. Quality of time you can spend with your faculty because of less strength, faculty are too supportive and friendly.

Other: 1. I choose PGDM in marketing, as you all know that every company need marketing people to make a presence in the market. 2. It is a broad industry and a well-known domain. 3. PGDM is a course with 80 percent practical and 20 percent theories you need.

If you have options then go with other one. This college is not worth for money.

Placements: Average. Very less number of student got placement according to the specialisation (eg. A core marketing guy got job for sales profile but in finance company so he have to sell financial products). Not much corporate connection to approach companies. Only pool placement ( only 1 or 2 companies came for interview in the campus, other students have to go Bangalore or Pune for pool campus interview). International placement - Dubai and Africa only. No FMCG companies came for our batch. Average salary- CTC (4.5 - 5) Not good for HR students, Not good for Operations students, for finance students - only 4-5 companies came, average for marketing guys (but mostly sales profile). Internship - most of the students got from college, some own effort.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay. Greenery all around. But the location is not good (remote area). Campus is full covered with cameras, it feels like one is in big boss home. Medical facility is not that good. Only 1 or 2 classroom seems like we are in MBA college other ones are normal. Food is pathetic. Hostel rooms - average, not good ( Boys hostel is good).

Faculty: Student to faculty ratio - 15:1 In college brochure, it is mentioned that students will enjoy 6-7 industrial visits. But they took us one time only and that's also not effective visit, means no learning. Faculty is qualified enough and knowledgeable also and about the subject well. But the main problem here is management. In this management college management is not good. Because of management students suffered.

The campus crowd and lifestyle at this college are very good.

Placements: Placements in the college went well. There were 98% placements for our seniors, and good companies came for internships also. The internships were paid and non-paid. Amazon and HDFC are the major companies that come for placements. Last year, ITC and Marico came to recruit students of retailing, and this year also both of them came for placements. Banking and financial companies are the major recruiters.

Infrastructure: The campus has a natural environment where we can enhance our lives accordingly. Hostel and classrooms are on one campus which helps students manage their time. All facilities are available in the hostel. There are AC classrooms and medical facilities available in college.

Faculty: Faculty members here are very helpful, and in-house faculty members are available to clear the doubts of students. Apart from this, students can get clarification on any current topic whether or not it's related to the subject. The courses are well-designed, and it is ensured that students understand them well.
