Real Learning, Real Fun- My College Experience.

Admission:

I tried to get admission in top colleges of Ahmedabad, but due to high cutoff I was not able to take admission, whereas in Narayana Business School take there own exam NBSAT and also with that personal interview. After this process you will be selected and admission will be confirmed.

Internship Experience

I have choosed clearly because of the faculties and the culture that NBS carries and also heard about the same from different seniors who have already passed from the college before. Admission process 1. NBSAT - You have to give one personal Mat level exam and 70 percent should be minimum score to proceed for GD. 2. GD - If you have performed well you will be processing for PI. 3. PI - After PI you will be getting the results and could get selected for the college.

A great journey so far at NBS

Student Snaps:

I chose this college because it's offering good internship opportunities and good placements with industry related curriculum at a fees which I can bear. NBS has it's own NBSAT entrance exam for selecting students those students clear that will have to go through PI for seeking a successful seat at NBS.

A very good decision to enrolled myself in Narayana Business School, Ahmedabad

I enrolled myself because of IT Specialization is available here and i am a Full Stack Web Developer so i wanted to Pursue PGDM in IT because i have already know some of the Technologies . and the process of Admission is little tought like First you have to apply for the NBSAT exam and after qualifing you have to clear the PI round that was little rigorous but if you are confident and good in communication and interaction you will clear the PI round

A college which is value for money

I wanted a college in Ahmedabad only so when I did research I got to know about various colleges in Ahmedabad which are considered good for pursuing MBA. The colleges I researched were LJ, GLS but they were not worth spending because they do not provided 100% placement and even the average packages were very low. I also reviewed college like Shanti business school and Ahmedabad University but I even did not considered getting into them because Ahmedabad University mostly focuses on startups and I wanted to do job. And Shanti business school was new and I did not trust it because of its low transparency. But all the gaps were filled by Narayana Business School as it is the college run by academicians, which provides guaranteed 100% placements with transparency and great packages.
