It's pretty good, and campus is very large with lot of Greenery. A good place to spend 2 years. Close to the main amrkets and centre of city as well. No idea about food and living spaces due to online mba.
Hostel buildings were very old so there were some issues like broken windows, leaky ceilings but most of them were addressed after complaining. It is very easy to call a plumber or a carpenter to get any repairs done in the room.
College infrastructure is good not the best but initial facilities are there, classrooms and departments are good and seminars halls are also good, libraries are there for each department separately overall good infrastructure
Hey Nikhil,
Hope you are doing well !
To answer your question, NO. All the students of premier B-schools in India do not have the above criteria. Though they are preferred, but what all the students have is a good profile, with good academics, and good co-curricular and extra-curricular.
Also, having work-ex is not mandatory, though it would help you is B-schools.
Hope my answer helped you. Please let me know in case of any further queries.
Hey Shivang,
Hope you are doing well !
To be honest, it seems that you have a decent profile, and obviously your active participation in sports is a boon in your Resume.
But your CAT score and GD-PI play a major part in the interview process.
Considering you score a 94+ percentile, and have a decent GD-PI round, I hope that you have good chances of converting MDI.
Hope my answer was helpful.
Wish you Best of Luck!
Hello Ram,
Hope you are doing well !
In answer to your question, I think that you have a pretty good chance to get in the top IIM's, and the premier B-schools in India. Though, your CAT score and your performance in GD-PI play a pretty important role in the process.
Other than that, I think that you have a pretty decent profile.
Hope my answer was helpful.
Wish you Best of Luck !
