I’m doing my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) at Mahindra Ecole Centrale, and I find it pretty good. The curriculum is updated regularly to keep up with job requirements, and the focus on real-world applications is beneficial. The fees are around 3.5 lakhs per year, which is manageable, but the internship stipends could be better. The campus life is decent, with a couple of major fests and numerous clubs to join. So, I’d say it’s a good option if you’re looking for a BBA program.
Mahindra Ecole Centrale has had a decent couple of years. If you're judging a college based on infrastructure and facilities, you might find many other universities that outshine MEC, though MEC's infrastructure isn't bad. However, if you're more interested in the curriculum, faculty, and industry connections, MEC definitely has an edge. Once the first batch graduates in 2018, it should gain more trust among students and parents.
Every college has a mix of students from various backgrounds, whether it's Manipal, VIT, IIT, IIM, or even Delhi University. It's not fair to blame a university for the behavior of some students. Do you really think a college advertises that it encourages things like drinking or drug use? Of course not, that's just common sense. The real issue often lies with the students themselves, and it's a challenge that's being addressed nationwide by the Indian government. This isn't something new. If you're worried about students not being watched constantly, remember, that's not practical anywhere, not even at Harvard.
Now, to ease your concerns, let's highlight some great aspects of Mahindra Ecole Centrale:
This is just a glimpse of what makes the university stand out. I don't want to go on and on about it, but I thought I'd share a few key points to give you a better idea.
Mahindra Ecole Centrale University is a decent choice, especially for those pursuing a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech). The faculty members are mostly PhD holders, which adds value to the quality of education. However, the tuition fees are quite high at around 4.5 lakhs per year, plus hostel fees of 2 lakhs. The placements are okay; many companies visit, and while the highest package is about 45 LPA, the average is around 8 LPA. Overall, I think it's a good university for those looking to get into tech fields.
Not just about being good, it's not even up to the average mark. The placements are disappointing. The college doesn't focus on research, and many teachers are leaving. Some courses are taught by professors who seem as clueless as the students, learning alongside us. It's like those ads for fairness creams, lots of promises but nothing delivered.
