    Academics

    The academic routine here is quite demanding, but that is also what makes it interesting. We get exposure to different management areas along with analytics and practical business concepts. Classes are not only about remembering theory, discussions, presentations, and assignments. Make make us think from our Manager’s point of view.

    College Infra

    The campus gives a proper residential B-School feel, and I found the overall set up comfortable for studying as well as spending time with classmates. Classrooms and academic spaces are well suited for presentations, group discussions and regular sessions. The campus environment also makes it easier to stay focused on college life.

    Campus Life

    Life on campus is quite active because you are constantly surrounded by people from different academic and professional backgrounds. Group work, student activities, sports, and culture events keep things moving even during a busy academic schedule. The residential set up also gives plenty of chances to build friendship and a strong peer network.

    Placements

    Placements are one of the major reason student take the MBA seriously here. Companies from banking , consulting, analytics, FMCG and other sector participate in process. The institute currently report hundred percent placement, with 200+ recruiting companies and an average package of 14.80 LPA, although individual results naturally depend on profile and performance.

    Value For Money

    I feel the program gives good value when you consider the learning,peer group, industry, exposure and career opportunities together. The biggest benefit for me is the overall growth that happens outside textbook too. Student students who actively participate and make use of the opportunities can get a lot out of the two years.
