Hi aspirant,

Comparing the two colleges based on academics , they stand in par with each other, both the colleges try to give as much of technical education and offers a keen knowledge on business administration. But taking placement oppurtunities into account, Sona offers good placement oppurtunities and the basic salary that a student gets placed in is also high.

Some of the recruiters are

ZOHO TECHNOLOGIES

JSW

GOWYN

SKR EXPRESS

DECATHLON

IDEA

AXIS BANK

CAREERNET CONSULTING

BAJAJ ALLIANCE

KOTAK MAHINDRA

ICICI BANK

ITC

CITY UNION BANK

Hello Aspirant,

According to me KCT Business school is the best MBA college which offers good placement. Placements can be called as the USP of KCT Business School. ITC, Coca-Cola, Zoho, Amazon, Colgate, E&Y are some the reputed companies that have visited the campus. The Salary ranged from 3.5L-12L with an average of 4.5L. 

Whereas when we talk about sona school of management and Sastra university, the college placements are not that satisfactory. Although the college infrastructure is good but there is no guarantee that all the students will get placed.

All the best
