The college is good as per the fees charged.

Review of BAOU Amedabad - Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Open University.

Placements: University has been very supportive in terms of student coordination. University website provides detailed information about courses and other procedures to follow. They also provide placement information from time to time with a regular updated on the website. Students can read the information from time to time and utilise for their own use. People who work alongside study can take advantage of placement in their respective area of work.

Infrastructure: Quality of infrastructure is pleasant, friendly and provides a healthy study environment. It helps students to overcome any fear if they have. They have a big campus which enables students to study according to their choose area.

Faculty: The course is very informative, especially it is industry-specific, which help students in many ways. Students can take benefit of informative study material and make the most of it. The syllabus is industry-related, which is one of the main points. After completion of the study, it will help them to find a relevant role for them in professional life.

Other: Our university not only provides regular students with a platform but also gives an opportunity to the students who work alongside their study. Students who are not able to study in a regular course of their life, they can also join the university and obtain a degree.

Faculty members teaching quality is excellent.

Placements: About 70% of the students from our course got placed. The average salary package is offered in our course. IT and management sector companies are recruiting students from our course. Adani Enterprises visit our college to hire students for an internship. A top role offered to the students is a deputy manager.

Infrastructure: Our college provides a good library. Speed Wi-Fi facility is also available in our college. Classrooms are equipped with digital boards, and classrooms are cleaned daily. Our college does not provide hostel facility for students. Lab facility is also available here.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is very evident with useful information for students. We have attended online and offline lectures from knowledge persons, which is very useful in this lockdown time.

Other: I have chosen this course because it is a very trendy course in today's situation. I think classes will be conducted on Saturday and Sunday. Every month our college organises an event for students.

Good to study, but poor coordination and placement support.

Placements: Poor placement support. Mostly finance companies come and that too for sales roles and the college brags that it offers all specializations. High level of politics in placements and the placement committee is only concerned in fulfilling their targets. The highest salary was 12 L but that too the student has worked by herself. However, the college ensures that every student gets an internship. I don't blame the college but they really need to collaborate with external agencies to improve.

Infrastructure: No proper computer lab facilities, classrooms are good and comfortable, the hostel is available nearby and food is Jain. College celebrates sports and annual day. Librarian is a moron he does not respect for students and all students are disappointed. However, management journals and newspapers are available free.

Faculty: Teachers are good. But good teachers are not satisfied with the college and leaving out. The course curriculum is well designed by GTU but in this college more focus is only on passing exams. More practical learning should be part of MBA syllabus. IT-based learning is required.

Other: I wanted to study MBA marketing and supply chain.
