My experience at Welingkar

I only appeared for CAT exam and scored 77.32 percentile without any quota. With that percentile, I applied for only 3 colleges i.e Welingkar, Great lakes and Christ university. I had my GD PI scheduled for Christ university on the 2nd of February 2020 but unfortunately, i had my GATE exam on the same date. I also had a GD PI interview scheduled with great lakes but they were only offering me the Gurgaon branch so I didn't appear. Lastly, I appeared for Welingkar GD PI a couple of weeks after the first lockdown and I got in. (Online GDPI)

The courses offered are great and some of the courses are very exclusive. Other than the Core marketing, operations, and finance, the college also offers courses related to business design, retail management, healthcare management, media, and entertainment sector, and many more.

Well, there was mass recruitment by a certain company this year 2021, which usually doesn't happen at welingkar, but the overall internship scenario is pretty good. A lot of students get opportunities to intern with multinational companies like JP morgan, morgan stanley, GEP etc.

The campus placement of the senior batch (since I'm still in my first year) is pretty good considering the covid 19 situations, by the end of April, approximately 80% of the total students were placed with an average CTC of 8 lakhs.

The fee as similar to any other Business school; 5,50,000 Yearly with hostel fees ranging from 1,10,000 to 1,40,000. The college provides help with loans but there is no Campus jobs. For the course of two years, there is no hike in price. The fee remains the same half-yearly i.e 5,50,000.

Since we are in the new normal (pandemic) I've never got a chance to witness my college personally. But the clubs are still active and most of it is well worth the student's time. I don't know if this is a plus point or not but Welingkar out of all other b-school has a habit of keeping its students busy and engaged for great hours.

Welingkar has 4 hostel facilities, 2 for boys and 2 for girls. They are at a distance of 2 km to 5 km from the campus in the matunga area. There is no mess facility inside the hostel but there is a basic canteen for tea and some other refreshments.

Yes. The basic draft of the admission procedure is a score in exam equivalent to MBA, shortlisting, followed by group discussion and personal interviews. This Group discussion becomes an individual topic discussion in the new normal (pandemic) as we are all dealing with online mode now. I never ever prepare for a group discussion or personal interview. I will just be myself.
