Remarks

College management was good - would listen patiently if we had any queries or concerns. For example, the entire class was uncomfortable with one of the professors and when we raise the issue they sorted things and moved him out.

Entrance Preview

The college's own written entrance exam and personal interview. Score was not known - just that we were selected. Minimum first class in 10th, 12th and graduate course was expected as a base.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Interactive, informative, practical with lots of guest lectures. Gave a good hand at theory basics and allowed plenty of classroom practicals with real world examples.

Internships Opportunities

We did not have an internship via the college as this was a PG course. But some of the professors directly picked promising interns to work with them. Salary / stipend ranged from 2k-10k in 2003.

Placement Experience

4

95% of the batch had jobs before the course was complete. The remaining 5% had jobs in the next couple of months. Most people were placed as juniors in ad agencies. All applied independently, not via the college. Salary ranged from 2k-10k.

College Events

3

Malhar was the main fest where we did not actively participate but was celebrated by the college. This is an renown event with students from all colleges participating.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It was reasonable given it was over a decade ago. Am not sure how the fee is structured presently but we had to pay a lumpsum amount for the year - no break ups

Fees and Financial Aid

No, Neither was offered by the college at that time. Loans had to be taken independently if required.

Campus Life

3

Campus life was multi cultural. Gave lots of exposure to people from different backgrounds. Also gave access to people from the industry. I experienced no bias as such.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni are very influential with most being well known names in the advertising industry. Think the college can introduce better efforts to bring alumni together on a yearly basis.

Exam Structure

Theory exams happened at the end of the year but we were graded all through the year for various assignments with a cumulative grade given at the end of the year. Assignments were constant and were for each professor and we had multiple professors in a month. It also included team assignments so we were on our toes mostly.

Placement Experience:

The placements depend upon which Specialization you're in. If you're a marketing student there will be lots of good companies coming in for placements followed by finance and then HR. You become eligible for placement from 3rd semester. Companies such as Deloitte, PWC, TCS, HCL, etc. visit the campus for placements and offer a good amount of Packages.

Remarks:

College is almost good .this for those who want only masters but no placement .if you also want to get placed in any company need only degree ur welcome. The management is worst the nonteaching staff doesn't know how to talk with students especially the admission office. I here declare whatever I have seen and suffered I presented my view about this college to you, not it's your choice to go to heaven like symbiosis or choose hell. I was misguided and helpless so I came here means I got fewer marks in a snap so please students appear for snap sincerely.
