    My experience in the JNU MBA programme was the best decision ever in every aspect.
    Placements: Our college provides good placement cells. Top recruiting companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Cognizant, etc., visit our campus. Many students are placed in different sectors of organisations. Since the environment and opportunities provided by JNU are excellent.
    Infrastructure: Since JNU started its MBA program very recently, its infrastructure is completely new and fresh. Hostels are excellent for the accommodation of students admitted to this course.
    Faculty: The money is worth it for living and studying because we see that pursuing an MBA in any other university, is much more expensive. Our faculty members are excellent. You do not have to worry about the exams and extracurricular activities since it is a central university that is always in the news for its perks and highlights. There are so many activities going on there that your personal and professional skills will improve.
    Other: I chose this course because of my growing interest in banking and finance and because I grew up in a family where business is the sole source of income and determines priorities. I'd always wanted to work in business, so I prepared for the entrance exam and was accepted into the JNU MBA program.
