Remarks
I couldn't shift to Lucknow from Delhi so I opted for this 1-year program at Noida. While it is a residential program, I was able to work around my studies while being close to my family. Since the program has been active since 2008, I was confident about its ROI and the quality of their faculty.
Course Curriculum Overview
One year fees was around 23 lakhs which included everything- rent for accommodation along with all other expenses. I didn’t get any financial assistance but there are some need-based scholarships many people got. SBI, axis bank provide subsidized interest rates on your loan which was also very helpful.
Internships Opportunities
We had an international immersion program as there are many international B-schools IIMs collaborate with. Still, there were no internships as the program is specially for working professionals and heavily focuses on live projects, daily quizzes and case studies.
Placement Experience
They happen here on a rolling basis and kick off most during November-December. Packages in my batch ranged from 25-29 PA and the highest was 54 Lakhs. Once you get into corporate you will definitely feel the stark advantage and you’ll make a lot just in 2–5 years of your work. Top packages were from Deloitte, HP, JP Morgan, EY and more.
Fee Structure And Facilities
This program required a strong GMAT score. I had been working for over 6 years so the work experience requirements were not an issue. After this, I was called for a written admission test (WAT) and finally a very intense personal interview.
Campus Life
I loved the student diversity in a north-Indian institute, we had people from so many states and amazing facilities to help us bond. Still, the ratio of females to males was rather skewed. We took part in many intercollege and intra-college competitions. The campus library canteen is well maintained and has all the facilities. Their main fest was Udyam but there were many smaller events throughout the year.
Hostel Facilities
Since this is a completely residential program, at any time Noida Campus can only accommodate around 120 students in total. My room was for single occupancy only and the rent was included in the fees. The campus is spread over 20 acres and has a mess, gym, gaming facilities for carrom, snooker, badminton etc. Hostels are well furnished and mostly single sharing with some separate hostels for couples.
