Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2024

Offered by Rural Academy for Management Studies

4.6

The happiest campus.

Placements: To set up a niche career was their main focus in terms of placement. RAMS collaborated with various NGOs and guided the students to start their new ventures in a proper way. Niche practices helped us get recruited at companies like Grameen, NDDB, MYRADA, and banks like Bandhan and NABARD.

Infrastructure: Near the Cherai area in the region of Kochi, the campus was built with a peculiar setup, and total admission could be between 300 and 350 only. It provided calm and peaceful learning, which every student dreamed of, with this kind of learning through fieldwork instead of books and exams.

Faculty: Rural Academy for Management Studies extended its interest in practical rural classes, which included fieldwork and practical demonstrations despite classroom teaching. The number of mentors was between 5 and 10, which was good enough for the less crowded community.

A fantastic college that gives equal value to sports, arts, education, and more.

Placements: St. Thomas College provides opportunities for placements from various institutions such as Federal Bank and other large industries. Placements start from the third year. Campus interviews are conducted every year. To get placed, we have to pass the exam before the interview.

Infrastructure: The college with its hostel is very excellent. The college hostel is situated within the college. The food quality is good, with non-vegetarian food provided several times a week. Complete security is available in the men's hostel. The women's hostel is located opposite the college, just a few meters away.

Faculty: Since it is autonomous, the syllabus plays a key role in the future of students. Faculty members give value to our students' opinions. Every faculty member is fully experienced. They can impart what they have completely to us. Teachers act as assistants to us.

Best campus life, poor placements.

Placements: There is no placement cell in this college. Students have to use their own networking and academic qualifications to secure a placement after graduation. This is pretty disappointing for a college that is over 150 years old. Despite having such an elite alumni network, there is no effort from their side or faculty to establish a proper placement cell or provide career guidance for students.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is proper. Some buildings are under renovation. One of the buildings, the Assembly Hall, is a heritage site, as it used to be the Cochin Assembly Hall. Some buildings used to be in such poor condition that plants started growing on the ceilings, but now everything is repaired. The auditorium is top-notch.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful. MG University nowadays conducts exams and publishes results on time. Earlier, the exams and results used to be so late that students enrolled only around January. But now things are speeding up, so students can enroll around August and September.

Other: This college is good for someone interested in extracurricular activities. The curriculum is flexible compared to other private colleges. Campus life is awesome, and you will learn more than law from this college.
