Anon's Review On Dr. V.N. Bedekar Institute Of Management Studies - [DRVNBIMS], Thane

I didn't take any entrance exams and I got into this college based on my HSC scores. There was no interview, group discussion or any sort of entrance for the admission here.

Doing a BBM course in Mumbai (at least) does not give us a lot of exposure, especially in colleges like this one. They hardly teach us subjects related to this course. It's a lot of history, economics, political science etc. which doesn't really help if you want to study advertising. The choice between advertising is given to you in the last year which I believe is wrong.

No, the college does not help with a summer internship at all. It's not even compulsory here.

They don't provide us with campus placements for this course.

No I have no information whatever about the college providing loan facilities to its students. But there's one thing I know for sure. It does not offer any scholarship to any student for the course of BMM.

The gender ratio for BMM was close to 1:1, which I hear is very different from the colleges from Western Mumbai. The college has a lot of extracurricular activities, sports competitions like football, cricket, etc. They have also organised fashion shows for students and other competitions like nail art, mehndi, hairstyling etc. There's the usual saree day, traditional day etc.

It's was very chilled out. No practical exams or anything. The professors use to give us a question bank of 50 something questions and all the questions in the exam were asked from that question bank. There were no practical exams. The internal marks were based on some assignments which were all theory based.

I had gone to the college to enquire about various courses. They gave us a brochure and answered all our questions regarding the course, syllabus etc. Then there was a queue for the admission form. After filling the form there was another queue for submission.

The visiting faculty is good and experienced but they lack the passion to take the students ahead as they are not a permanent part of this college. And most of the teaching faculty is a visiting faculty. The permanent professors lack in expertise and some of them have no experience in the media field.
