Admission:

While I was exploring the colleges of Delhi, I explored many other colleges like first time, a business school, Fortune School Of Business, DIM and Delhi School Of Business, I visited all of the colleges, but I found Delhi School Of Business the most genuine and better College of them because it's strength is very less. It's around 200 students and every college Strength is around 300 to 400. Which will gradually decrease the placement so that is why I chose Delhi School Of Business because it is value for money, you get what you invest. So you have to take out the maximum output from the college and the college is very nice. You have a very good campus. A good canteen, a good environment and the people are also very nice. here. They are helpful. Faculties are also very assistant and they help you in every aspect. There are many curricular activities like games and programs, international missions and all

Admission:

I gave entrance exams like CAT, MAT, SNAP for targeting different colleges. The colleges I went for was 1. Jaipuria 2. Bimtech 3. JIMS Rohini 4. Delhi school of Business ( VIPS ) 5. Amity 6. Chandigarh University 7. UPES Dehradun And so on As I searched it on platforms including college dekhlo or college duniya. I did get offer from Jaipuria for ( jaipur campus, Indore), JiMS rohini, Delhi school of business VIPS. I wanted jaipuria Noida campus but due unavailability of seats I didn't got it, then I went for JIMS Rohini. I got offer later from there after completing all rounds like, GD,& PI. The fees was also affordable it was around Rs 8,25,000. The metro was also very near to the campus but the infrastructure part where it lacks according to me. The building was very old and the sizes of classroom were also small. The campus was not big. Secondly I went for DSB part of VIPS campus when I entered the campus my first thought was Yes it's the best option for me, infrastructure was good, campus is big it does have plenty of parking space, nearest metro station that is also Two. And the major part fees ( 925000)for two years and the placement is decent. Avg package 5-6 L, medium 7-8, highest 9-12.

Admission:

I applied to Delhi School of Business, Pitampura and IILM for Higher Education, Lodhi Road. Both institutes are well reputed. IILM has good UG courses and the faculty is great. The reason for not attending is I didn't find the PG courses as appealing as the UG courses. My admission is solely based on merit and my performance in GD/PI and written exam held by Delhi School of Business. While applying for the course, the eligibility criteria include Class 10 and 12 Marksheet, Bachelor's Degree with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA and providing the score for any entrance exam mainly CAT, XAT, CMAT, GMAT, MAT or any equivalent. The admission process involved Submitting an 'online' Application Form with a fee. Once short-listed, you'll be invited to attend a presentation by Admission Manager Mr Siddharth Jain followed by a Personal Interview and a Written Exam. The written exam is based on Quantitative Aptitude Assessment and Data Sufficiency, Case Study Analysis and Report Writing.
