Good faculty, a good environment, and diverse students.
Placements: Internships are provided in the first year itself. There are many top recruiters who recruit students from the International Institute of Business Studies. Students from past batches get placed with a high ROI of 72 LPA. There are good opportunities.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-maintained. Overall facilities, including labs, libraries, & Wi-Fi, are good. There are no issues at any time. The library provides a lot of books that are mainly useful for management studies. The journals available there also provide different kinds of knowledge.
Faculty: Faculty members are friendly and knowledgeable. They clarify our doubts until we understand them. The quality of education is clear & precise. The course curriculum is updated every year. It provides updated knowledge and the skills required by students.
Other: I chose PGDM because I need more practical knowledge than theoretical knowledge. While searching for a good college, my cousin, who studies here, suggested this college to me.

Good quality support from college and placement team.
Placements: Placement teams give us great support and help us during our placements. The placement team gives additional and add-on ad-hoc courses and certificates to enhance and shape our growth and success. Top recruiting companies are Finastra, HCLTech, so on and so forth. Almost the majority of students get placed during the curriculum and get internships.
Infrastructure: Hostels are also good and with proper amenities. Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library are good. Food is good in the college mess and hostel. Dedicated computer labs, common rooms, a medical room, and auditoriums are there.
Faculty: Faculty members are qualified and knowledgeable, the curriculum is relevant and up-to-date with modern technology infrastructure. Teaching quality is good and in line with modern equipment, infrastructure, and staff. Semester exams are as per the Board of Education and Bangalore City University guidelines. Everything is done with proper guidelines.
Other: The college helps us grow with industry-focused events and workshops to enhance our knowledge of the industry and markets.

I am very dissatisfied with this college.
Placements: Placements were not given in any of the companies. Just the scope of the subject was explained. Students had to find jobs on their own. The college took zero responsibility for the placement of students. Teachers guided students on what options were available after B.Sc. (Botany).
Infrastructure: In our college, classrooms had basic facilities. Labs were well-maintained. Required books were available in the library. Each subject lab was separate, properly maintained, and had all the required equipment. There was also Wi-Fi in the college.
Faculty: Faculty was not very qualified. The English teacher was not able to speak basic English. The syllabus was not completed on time. Teachers rushed the syllabus at the last minute. Discipline was maintained during the exams. The exams were arranged properly.
Other: Our college was among the best in extracurricular activities. Cricket, kabaddi, chess, and carrom were played by students. Our college was famous for its street plays and drama.

Campus has many monkeys, and it is the only drawback.
Placements: They provide good placement assistance. The placement cell committee is very friendly. They also provide pre-placement training. For the course I chose, I need a higher-qualification job. So we do not choose any company to work with. But if you are ready to work with a B.Sc. degree, go for it.
Infrastructure: Labs are well-arranged and clean, with advanced equipment. The library is filled with all the authors' books and editions as well. Each lab and library has Wi-Fi with a strong connection. They give hands-on experience, and you will perfect your skills in the labs.
Faculty: Faculty members are very friendly. We approach them anytime. They are very kind and understanding. One thing that actually matters in college is a good relationship with teachers. So we have a healthy environment to study and learn. So our college has very good faculty members.
Other: I wanted to choose biotechnology, from the beginning, I felt it was very interesting. They made it even more interesting and made us fall in love with biotech.

Our college provides good placement opportunities for interested students.
Placements: About 70% of students get placed in my course. The highest package goes up to 20 LPA. The lowest package is 8 LPA. The average package is 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies for my course are Amazon, Wipro, Flipkart, Infosys, etc. About 20% of the students get internships through my course in the above-mentioned companies. The top roles offered are Java Developer, Software Developer, Software Testing, Cybersecurity, etc.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi availability in our college is average. The classroom infrastructure is very good. New devices are installed in labs. The food quality in the canteen is very good. There is no compromise on that. Sports are also encouraged equally, just like academics.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified. They are helpful and knowledgeable. They help students build their careers. The course does not make students fully industry-ready. The exams are quite difficult. However, proper understanding and regular reading may help students.

The infrastructure is good, the facilities are also good, and the teaching staff are bad.
Placements: No proper placements in the college. The placement drive still needs a 90% of development and seriousness. 100 percent of students have been looking for jobs since 2021 as far as my information and knowledge go. They offer some extra courses for students which they charge extra money and at the end they don't issue a certificate and are not even bothered about it.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-maintained with proper ventilation and hygienic toilets and washrooms, a dedicated auditorium, and a sports committee which is completely dedicated to collecting money in the name of fines from students. They charge double over the period of time.
Faculty: Some teachers are still stuck in primary schools. They treat their students the same and teachers keep on changing every 2 semesters and those new teachers are really bad. Even teachers should understand the attention level of students and should keep the class interactive rather than a boring period.
Other: No proper sports encouragement, a complete 1-hour class, not even a 10-minute gap in between.
