Campus is so big to explore.
Placements: Since 20018-20, +70% of EDI students either set up their own business or joined their family business after finishing MBA from here. The college helps students (not all) secure INR 2.5 to 3 Lacs as VC funding. Students are also guided and helped in securing funds from government schemes related to their business.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are excellent an A/C room of single or double occupancy and an attached bathroom along with aids who clean the room and bathroom so its all nice. The food is apparently tasty for initial few months, then it gets boring but being in Ahmedabad, we have a huge array of options to order or have food from. External Expenses: Rs. 2000- 4000.
Faculty: The course covers all aspects of entrepreneurship. It is taught fairly well. Don't think that just studying about entrepreneurship will make you an entrepreneur or give you all the skills for it. You require the will and patience for setting up a business.

All about Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII).
Placements: Actually, in real life, EDI does not provide students with placements; they are pursuing entrepreneurship as a subject, so we have to create a business and run it to earn money. Government funding and other connections are made using communication and your idea for implementing them. Your whole mindset is changed when you work here.
Infrastructure: Everything is available for use and students are treated as their own kids. Each and every facility a student needs is there. The hostel provides you with all amenities and services, such as floor cleaning, washroom cleaning and discipline, which are maintained.
Faculty: This whole course runs on a trimester pattern, so every 1.5 months, an exam is conducted. Every course has its own specialization in particular business circumstances. It gives you an opportunity to get ahead of other businesses with mentors and faculty members from all over India.
Other: If you create an innovation and implement it, government funding and support will be given. Your dream project and team information are taken into consideration.

I had absolutely a great experience.
Placements: This is one of the best institutes in India when it comes to entrepreneurship. Internships are compulsory in the final year, supplemented by industry visits and group presentations. From my batch, almost 89% of students got placed. The highest package offered was 7 Lacs per annum, and the average package was 3.5 Lacs per annum. The top recruiting companies were Adani, Reliance, Sun Pharma etc.
Infrastructure: The college has a beautiful campus and the most modern infrastructure. The classrooms are air-conditioned and have whiteboards and projectors for presentations. The library has the best set of books. Wi-Fi facility is available throughout the campus. Sports management in the college is wonderful. However, our studies, along with industry visits, leave us very little time. The hostel facilities are really well maintained with neat and clean rooms, healthy mess food and decent canteen food.
Faculty: All the teachers have been extremely caring and conscious of the students' needs. They always use videos, presentations, group discussions, roleplays and case studies. The lectures are always two-way communication rather than being one-sided. The study curriculum coupled with industrial visits and internships makes us ready to face the future. The examinations require a lot of out of the box thinking. This course is definitely worth it as many entrepreneurial doors open up.

It is a really good institute for students who want to become entrepreneurs.
Placements: Around 60% of the students in our course were placed. ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Trident Group were the major companies for our course. Sales and marketing were the major roles offered. However, students were also selected for roles of operation and business analyst.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for the course were quite good. Almost all required facilities were available in the classrooms and library. The food quality in the mess was average. All kinds of sports and gaming facility were available with yearly festivals.
Faculty: The best part of EDII was the quality of teachers and also the guest lecturers who were very helpful and knowledgeable. As the name suggests, it is the best for entrepreneurship role, and the curriculum which has been designed is very effective that it brings the best out of the student.
Other: I wanted to become an entrepreneur, so I have chosen this course. There should be practical scenarios which students were supposed to create to get the real feeling of business. They should opt for some senior faculty members as their primary faculty instead of having them as guest lecturers. All kinds of events, fests, festival celebrations were part of EDII.

Best place for nurturing your business intellect.
Placements: PGDM in Business entrepreneurship is basically a grooming course for students aspiring to start their own venture or continue with their family businesses. EDII does't offer many placement opportunities but the faculty members are really helpful in providing internships in your field of interest at the best companies in India.
Infrastructure: The campus is very huge with all sorts of amenities like hostel, canteen, incubation centre, library, Free Wi-Fi everywhere on the campus and around 10-15 classrooms. The hostel rooms are spacious and comfortable and the food is also really good. The food menu can also be changed upon the students discretion. As the campus is very big there are separate grounds for football, cricket, badminton and table-tennis too.
Faculty: The course curriculum is similar to other MBA courses but just tailor made and taught keeping businesses in mind. All the faculty members including the visiting ones are well-versed and experienced in their field of knowledge and are always there to help us out. They provide us concessions in certain areas when it comes to developing our business. They set up meeting and GET us entries in various conventions, conferences and competitions which are relevant for our business or startups.
Other: Other than the studies, there are various conferences and start-up meets which are held in the campus atleast once a month. Other than that there are two major events in EDII - Ecstasy and Emprassario. Ecstasy is the normal leisurely cultural fest and Emprassario is a 3 day summit for aspiring entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas and GET funding for the same.
