    LMTSM is a great experience. The faculty is well-educated and passionate. Placements are great.
    Placements: My senior batch almost got placed and joined their respective companies. The packages are pretty attractive, especially for finance and marketing. Big 4 companies like Deloitte, PWC, and EY also came in the placement drive. Overall, placements are good.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms and our hostel rooms are well-furnished. ACs are good at both places but Wi-Fi creates a bit problem sometimes. But other than that, our classroom seats are pretty comfortable. There is a projector. We have amazing lighting and spacing in our hostel rooms. They are well-furnished and hygienic.
    Faculty: Some faculty members are too good. They are very passionate about teaching and learning. I think one or two are not that serious. They just rush to complete the syllabus without caring too much about us. Finance teachers are great and helpful. Courses are very relevant and also prepare us to be industry-ready. Our semester exams are of moderate to hard level but challenge us in every aspect. The passing percentage is 34%.
    Other: I chose finance because I enjoy doing portfolio analysis and learning about the functioning of money. I wish there were some more industrial exposure in our course that provided us with a simulation type of situation. There are plenty of events happening around campus whether is HR Summit or Mad Nights. The campus crowd is okay. It is not that large and not too less. There are merit-based scholarships available for our degree. Clubs and many extracurricular activities are happening around us that student can choose according to their preference.

    I am satisfied with hostel life and other facilities but dissatisfied with teachers and placements.
    Placements: Almost 60% of the students got internships from our college. Placements are not yet started, so I have no idea how many students will get placed from our college. However, according to our seniors, the average salary package offered is approximately 5 LPA. Deloitte, MRF and Nestle are some of the top recruiting companies for our campus.
