Remarks :
Bunts Sangha's S. M. Shetty College of Science, Commerce, and Management Studies is a Mumbai University affiliated institute based in Powai, Mumbai. Being someone who lives in the suburbs, made travel really easy. Apart from that, the college has pretty good infrastructure and the locality is also fairly posh. When it comes to BMM, the college has some of the best faculty (including visiting faculty). The college is also very conducive to internships and extra curricular for students. The downside of this particular institute is that the peer set is not the finest. A key disadvantage when compared to major MU colleges is that since it is a fairly young institute, it doesn't have high recall value in the corporate world which makes getting internships and jobs in MNCs a little tough. The admission process is pretty smooth and the college administration goes the extra mile to help students with the documentation and form-filling.
Course Curriculum Overview :
BMM is a well rounded course and with my varied interest set, choosing the course made a lot of sense. It includes classical arts subjects like History, Psychology, Literature along with Business Studies subjects like Marketing, Media Planning and Buying, Financial Management apart from core BMM subjects like advertising, film making, journalism, PR, design, creative writing. The faculty to student ratio is roughly 1:10 (including visiting faculty). The faculty is extremely well-qualified and equipped when it comes to teaching students. Most faculty members have a lot of industry experience and bring real-life case studies to the classrooms which makes learning more engaging and fun. The one thing that faculty members do struggle with is the seamless integration of tech into the curriculum and teaching methodology. There are two exams every semester. One internal examination and one external examination. They are well spaced out. Passing is fairly easy.
Placement Experience :
Placements for BMM students are practically non-existent. And even for students from other departments, the job profiles that usually come in are for BPOs and in-store sales support. Most packages range from 2LPA to 3.5LPA. This year, there were notable entries like TCS and Ikea but the job profiles were still menial. Although, alumni support is huge and helps most students in job finding.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The fee is a little heft when compared to most other colleges that are this nascent but with the infrastructure that the institute provides, it is totally worth it. Although when compared to most other specialization courses across the board, Mumbai University courses are extremely affordable. Financial assistance can be applied for under certain schemes, particularly for minorities from the Shetty Community. Getting a role on campus is unheard of but there are definitely provisions for students interning and working part-time. Most lecturers are very accommodating when it comes to the students that are working or interning.
Campus Life :
The Annual fest, Emmorzeal, is one of the biggest college festivals in Suburban Mumbai. Its conducted in the month of December usually and sees participation from students across the city (mostly suburban Mumbai). Apart from that, there are countless festivals, seminars, events organized by different committees and departments independently. The library has thousands of books and has a lot of online resources too. You can also put in an acquisition request for books that are not in the library but you want to read and if approved they are added to the library at the end of the month. Classrooms are air-conditioned and have new age projectors that are used for multi-media integration into the curriculum. Sports and extra-curricular activities are the heart and soul of the campus life. The football team is one of the best in the country. Apart from that, there are major team sports like basketball, cricket along with sports like track and field, boxing, badminton that are huge.
