Remarks :
The application process involves the following steps:- The candidates are required to submit the application on the college website The candidates are required to undertake either CAT/MAT/XAT PGCET scores are not accepted The candidates are further called upon for a Personal interview. The personal interview is either carried out by a panel or a single person(Typically faculty). The candidates are also required to undergo something that's called essay writing. Since it was pandemic when I applied I was required to give an extempore speech on a current topic
Course Curriculum Overview :
The college follows a trimester system. The courses in the first year are uniform for all the students and the students must undergo the same. The subjects include Organisational behaviour, Corporate Finance, Operations, Marketing Management, HRM, etc. Additionally, all the first-year students are mandatorily required to take up BME ( Business and Management Environment). The BME is carried out to improve the presentation skills, communication skills, and the ability to think and analyze changing business landscape. In the second year, students are required to pick two specializations and the subjects of their choice and make up to a maximum of 53 credits. I had picked up HR and Marketing as my specialization. The courses offered in the second year for HR was taken up by college faculty, external faculty and industry experts.
Internships Opportunities :
The college does offer internship opportunities however the internships are mainly offered for the finance and marketing domain. It is very hard to find internships for HR and Operations. The college also requires the students to undertake an elaborate project/ study during the internship and many companies may not be able to offer an internship that suits the requirements mandated by the college. I had a hard time finding an internship in the HR domain as most companies would require the interns to be associated with them for a period 4-To 6 months. However, the college requires the students only to undergo an internship for 8 weeks. I had undergone an internship with Syngene International. It's a mandate that all the students complete their Summer Internship Programme, otherwise, they would not be awarded the PGDM completion certificate and they would have to undergo the SIP again the next year.
Placement Experience :
Placements of the college is up to the mark for a tier two business school. The college had appointed the director of Corporate relations who has been building the visibility of the college by building a robust alumni network. Up to 100 percent of the students are placed by the end of the final term. The highest package offered this year was INR 22 lakhs per annum. The return rate of companies who offer placements in the college year on year is quite high. This year companies like Goldman Sachs, Kaseya, TCS, Accenture, Indegene, EY, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley, Adecco, PwC, Hitachi, Reliance Retail, Landmark group, etc had visited. On average the students are offered a package of 7 - 7.5 lakhs PA.

The first installment was Rs.200000, the second installment was Rs. 190000, the third installment students were required to pay Rs. 200000 and last installment of Rs 190000.
