      Beautiful campus and experienced faculty

      Academics

      The curriculum is upto the industry standards. Visiting faculties come every then and now. Classes happens during most of the weekends also. It's mainly interactive sessions rather than simply teaching. This includes more of case studies and in class presentations. Faculties are very sweet with a high industry knowledge.

      College Infra

      The college is nestled in the hilltop of the campus. It requires a inter-university bus to reach the hilltop for students. Its a pretty old campus but they are making small changes every year to improve its infrastructure. We have a central library which is shared by the hilltop colleges which include SIBM, SSBF, SIDTM, SSSS, SSVAP and few more. The multipurpose ground and the facilities are very good. They also have facilities like a swimming pool, a hotel within a campus for parents to stay and many more. Overall the infrastructure is impressive although the campus is more than 30 years old.

      Campus Life

      Campus life on the hilltop does not really mean you would be limiting it to the hilltop only. The campus is beautiful. There is a bus to the city two times a day. I often go to the city with my friends whenever we get an off. Students are very friendly, there are many sweet dogs in the campus. My batchmates have also made social media pages for dogs. Hilltop is a little hard to reach on a daily basis and that's why it is a residential course like any other MBA. Ambulance always shows up in no time whenever there is any emergency. They also have a hospital belonging to symbiosis itself for student's safety and health. For students the treatment is free of cost.

      Placements

      SIMC is mainly a media college rather than a Management college. Hence the average package is slightly lower for symbiosis standards. The average package of our last year's MBA batch was nearly 8.5 LPA with 21 LPA being the highest. Likewise Internships that come are also good. IT, FMCG, Media agencies do visit the campus for internships. Internship average stipend is around 15-20 thousand a month. Placement cell also puts in a lot of effort for us to get placed.

      Value For Money

      In terms of ROI the value-for-money is average because our course fees is around 15 lakhs, and we get it back in one and half year if we get an average package. But more than the ROI, the industry exposure and the value that symbiosis holds it a true value for money.
