Course Curriculum Overview :
Course curriculum I passed 12th grade from commerce and developed a keen interest in accounts and finance. The course structure at the university covered the principles of Accountancy, finance, banking, insurance and marketing. The course was designed as per the latest market trends. This helped the students to pursue further specialized courses in sales, analytics, operations and finance. The integrated training used to happen weekly in the campus where we got insights from the several industry guides. They taught us the practical applicability of the subjects that were taught in the classrooms. It was designed to incorporate fun and learning. The exam was held semester wise that followed a descriptive pattern. We were given sufficient holidays in between the exams to prepare for it.
Placement Experience :
Placement The university has set up a unit called Career Services Office (CSO) that acts as a interface between the industry and students, thus placing the students at the top notch companies of the country. Some of the top recruiters include HCL, Jindal steel and power, Genpact, JSW, IMS, Mahindra, Nalwa steel and power and Collabera. 82% of the students were placed from the 2014-18 batch. The highest package ranges at INR 7.0 LPA while the average package stands at INR 4.75 LPA. The manufacturing sector employed 40% of the total students recruited followed by Infrastructure (11%). The CSO organizes various activities throughout the session like summer internship and training, industrial visits and case studies, career counseling and short term project trainings. The students are interned with some of the best recruiters who then place them in their company. Some of these internships are paid while others are unpaid. I worked for two months as a summer intern at Bajaj Capitals and they paid me a stipend of INR 15,000 per month. This helped me to become aware of the industry needs and the work environment.

There are various fests organized in the campus which enables the students to participate in the events and showcase their talent. There is the talent hunt held for the freshers in the university. The School of Management organizes Business competition that see the participants from the various B Schools of the country.

I personally like to spend the time after my lectures playing the table tennis in the court where all my friends catch up for some free time. There are various clubs that the student can join during their academic life. Some of them are literary club, cine club, cultural club, technical club and innovation club. I had joined the literary club in my first year and continues to serve as a member of it. It has enhanced my writing skills that helped me in becoming a more creative person.

The hostel is my second home where I have spent the most beautiful moments of my life.
