Remarks

Choices of specialisation (as I wanted to take Information System which is not offered by most of the colleges), campus atmosphere (lush green campus, cool and quiet), placement data and affiliation to Mysore Univ (one of the oldest and reputed Universities of the country.

Course Curriculum Overview

The syllabus of MBA in our country (in general) is not so up-to-date (unlike PGDM). So was the case with us as well. However, our faculties always gave us an exposure and idea of the ongoing topics. International Conferences, guest visits and lectures were organised time to time. Most of the faculties are okay, however, there are few who will run that extra mile to disseminate the knowledge. Prof. Nagendra Hegde, Dr. Vaishali, Dr. Nandeesh are among those few. Industrial exposure could have been a lot better.

Class Size: 48Course Fees: INR 600000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Workshaala Spaces, Digital Marketing and Operations, 5k per month. Got the internship through internshala.

Placement Experience

3.5

Delloite, Bata, ICICI, HDFC, Marico, RB, KPMG, Adobe, etc were the companies that visited in 2018. The average package was 5-6 lpa and some of the common offered profiles were management trainee, tax analyst, BDE. The placement process is good and strict. The college also offers programmes to groom the students and make them placement ready. The referrals are not that good (but you can always build a network on your own). The E-Cell is good and is in association with Wadhwani group.

College Events

Campus is full of greenery, cool and quiet. However, if you are a city person, you may not like it as it is in the outskirt. The management festivals were okay and average. So were the cultural and technical.

Campus Life

If you are a TT or basketball player, you will be happy with the infrastructure. If you are a footballer, the campus doesn't have a big ground to play football. Library size is fine (considering that the college offers only business management course). Wi-fi is fine but under strict surveillance and restrictions.

Hostel Facilities

They have now made it a residential course. In our time we had option to be a day scholar. I was a day scholar. It is a vegetarian campus and so are the hostels. Not aware of the quality of the hostel facilities or mess.

Infrastructure, facilities , diversity , good for networking and banglore is a corporate hub so it's getting easy for to experience corporate speakers.

And how they prepare us for the corporate world .and the faculty ratio in 1 :12 over there so small batch size leads to better concentration on students .

The ecam level is less difificult if you study.

I applied for Indus Business Academy for the PGDM program and I choose this college because they offer good internship opportunities, as well as 100% placements and The companies like PWC, KPMG, Deloitte and they, offer good package.
