Dislikes

In second year, most of us have to leave hostel and go live in flats which is kind of a downer.
Teaching methodology needs improvements in terms of explaining the concepts.

+ 1 More

Course Curriculum Overview :

The couse syllabus and structure is fairly good, but improvements are needed in some areas. Techers need to explain the concepts first, rather than directly jumping to case studies and presentations. However, the number of case studies solved in class is too less compared to other institutes such as the IIMs and other top institutes. Attendance and regularity of faculty and students is good though.

Class Size : 65Course Fees : INR 2200000 per year

Internships Opportunities :

Good companies come in the beginning only. Many of the finance students have to go for sales jobs in the end. Many of us had to opt-out and look for internships ourselves. Stipend is average here. Only initial companies gave good stipends. Rest are not offering any stipends. However, the college manages to get everyone placed.

Placement Experience :

Placements are above average. The average package was Rs. 1250000. The entire batch of 650 gets placed in the end. However, many students have to goto sales roles if they are not palced in the beginning, even if they have a finance major. Placement Committee here is infamous for being opaque and dishonest with the students.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Fee is too much, around 2500000, which includes mess fee. Merit scholarship was given to a handful of students only. Improvements can be made in the domain of scholarships. No on-campus job opportunities.

Campus Life :

The campus life here is one of the best as compared to other MBA colleges. We have a proper campus with all kinds of club and committees. We have music/dance/drama clubs here. Library is decent. The college is in Mumbai, so it's too is kind of a plus point, comparing to other MBA colleges which are generally in outskirts of smaller cities.

Hostel Facilities :

Hostels are good. But improvements should be made in terms of mess food's taste and water quality. Hostels are properly managed- cleaning, maintaining, etc. However, there are internet issues every now and then. And, sports facilities within the hostel are not well managed. However, sports facilities in the campus are really good if you want to avail them and are open to all.

Hostel Fee : INR 250000 per year

Admission :

The admission process involved clearing cut-offs for Management entrance exams like CAT, CET, CMAT, GMAT, etc. I took GMAT and got admission with a score of 670. The entry cut-off for GMAT is 550 here. Then I had to go through online CA/PI process. Students form all backgrounds have made it here. All the info regarding the admission process can be found on the institute's website.

Interview Experience :

Yes, we went through a CA/PI process. I can't remember the topic as of now, but being aware of general topics related to your intended major will help you. For example, if you intend to take finance, then being aware of financial news and basic financial concepts will help. I prepared by watching Youtube videos on MBA-GD/PI process. Reading newpaper daily before my PI also helped as lot as I was asked about the recent budget.

Placement Experience:

After first 2 semesters, students got internship, some got PPO, later on in mid of third semester companies started to come in campus for placements. Companies like Deloitte, PWC are there any also companies by Tata, Birla, Ambani are also there. But we careful of companies which promises salary but are fake.
