Amrita Bhomle's Review On S.P Mandali's Prin L.N Welingkar Institute Of Management Development & Research (WeSchool), Mumbai

I got through MH-CET. I scored 110. Welingkar fitted all my personal selection criteria like faculty, education, package, etc. So I opted for Welingkar.

Our curriculum was as per Mumbai University's guidelines. We had an elaborate curriculum for educating us on all the important management concepts and subjects. We learnt about the basics of finance, marketing, human resources and operations in first semester. From second semester, we focussed more on our specialisations.

Yes, Welingkar provides internships to all the students. There were a lot of companies who visited our campus. Few of them were BASF, Capgemini, TCS, Sterlite, Mahindra & Mahindra and many such reputed companies. The stipend depends on company to company and it ranges from 5k to 30k per month.

Around 90% students got placed. A lot of big reputed companies visited our campus like Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Mahindra & Mahindra, BASF, Idea Cellular, etc. The packages range from 5 lakh per annum to 15 lakh per annum. There were a lot of good opportunities starting from a start-up to an MNC.

We had a lot of events organised in our college. Some were internal and some were external. We had a lot of competitions and festivals like marketing and literary fest. We had alumni meet for all the students where we get to meet all the alumni. We had convocation ceremony as well for all the passed out students.

Fees structure for MMS course was feasible but it was expensive for PGDM course. I am not aware of the current number as Welingkar's MMS course has also become autonomous. It might lead to increase in the fees of MMS course as well. MMS course is quite popular with the hiring companies as well irrespective of its feasible fee structure.

There are good government scholarships for MMS students who comes under reserved categories or who are scholars. Loans are also easily available.

We were a diverse group of different religion, caste, class, society co-existing and competing together. It was really important for our overall development and it helped us in preparing us for the corporate world. Different social gatherings like freshers party, farewell parties, different competitions and sports events were contributing factor.

Every Alumnus has an emotional connect with his/her college. They help out as much as they can to a fellow Welinkarite. Every year there is an alumni event held at the campus where everyone gets to interact with the alumni and connect with them.

Our day was hectic with all the lectures and so many assignments were given to us. We had a lot of projects too. Our exam final marks composed of internal assignments, projects, tests and one final exam for every subject course. Our year was divided into two semesters with exams at the end of every semester. we had total four semesters. Overall the exam structure was good.

The entire process was online. We had to apply online to all the colleges we were interested in and then the results were declared. After college allotment, we physically went to the particular institute we were allotted and took admission. The further process was conducted by the college which was very smooth.

Our faculties were really knowledgeable and experienced in their respective field. Our faculty encouraged and recommended a lot of extra reading which goes a long way to in building your knowledge and expertise. There were few faculties who couldn't match up to our expectations but we still learned everything with the help of our peers.
