Xiss my POV

4.1Helpful

Placements are quite good peers are usually from ranchi
Professors are quite good. They have dept knowledge ot the subjects which they are teaching

Course curriculum can be made more pratical as it is quite theoretical in nature
Pratical exposure can be improved like more guest lectures and seminars

Tution fees in my time were 10 lakhs which included two industrial and one rural trip. As par fees are concerned it is quite less than other B.schools. Scholarships are there for rank holders, and students belonging to the Sc/ St community. Campus employment is restricted as far as I know.

Fee Structure And Facilities:

The fee structure the program I opted for is 9 lakh for two years excluding hostel or mess charges. Furthermore, our college has scholarship provision for those working in TATA steel, Maruti, NTPC and other corporate houses. However, I did not get any scholarship as I don't fulfil any criteria but apart from the college scholarship, the state government also provide the same to those belonging to SC and ST category. Moreover, our college provide bank loans to the financially weak students.
