My review of this college.

Placements: Placements were really good in our college. There was a separate placement cell in the college that focused on placement work, especially for MBA students. Around 90 percent of students in every batch got placed at a very nice package, with an average package of 3 LPA-5 LPA, the highest package was 22 LPA, and the lowest was 1.5 LPA. Once your MBA starts, you will get internship opportunities coming right to you in the next month. Various companies like Tata, Amazon, Flipkart, Adobe, TCS, and YES Bank visited the campus for placements and the roles were offered according to your preference.

Infrastructure: Hostel facility was available in the college. There were separate hostels for boys and girls. The hostel environment was good. The rooms were available for sharing and had separate bathrooms. The hostel facility was good. There was a mess available, it offered hygienic food. Wi-Fi facility was available in the hostel.

Faculty: College faculty members were very talented and well-educated, as they were very good in both personal and professional aspects. They had the ability to handle the pressure very well. Their management skills were highly phenomenal, which took everything under their control. Teachers had a experience in their respective field. They were always ready to share their knowledge. The college followed a semester exam system. Each semester had an internal exam of 25 marks and a main semester-end exam of 75 marks. It was compulsory to pass in both papers, the paper level was easy to moderate. The course curriculum was very good, covering all aspects of Management. There were varied subjects across 4 semesters from all the streams like finance and marketing. The course was very informative and knowledgeable. The curriculum was programmed systematically and properly. The faculty was very helpful and friendly.

Dissatisfaction with the infrastructure, though the college is recognizable.

Placements: Placements in my college are quite decent. The placement percentage is around 75% based on performance. The lowest package for my course is around 2.5 LPA, the average package is 3 LPA, and the highest package is 4 LPA. EY, Deloitte, and Cognizant are the top companies hiring students. Roles are Data Analyst, Product Manager, HR, Managing Executive, etc.

Infrastructure: There are two blocks. The first block is well-developed, while the second block (administrative block) has poor classroom and network facilities. They should be maintained properly. Hostels are strict and well-maintained, though the food is average. They give proper importance to sports.

Faculty: Teachers are professional, and the quality of teaching is quite good. However, not every teacher is the same. Some teachers have high and respected degrees, but they should teach lessons instead of only reading. The course makes students industry-ready. The semester exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is 40%.

Other: I chose BBA because my career in business plays a key role from top to bottom in all industries. I love how it works. I wish they would make classes more interactive and less partial. The events are entertaining. As a matter of fact, there is a reason behind every event, although the crowd is too high.
