Faheem Zahid's Review On Sinhgad Institute Of Management - [SIOM], Pune

My college managemet was good, however it goes without saying that it is gullible to a lot of college politics. Companies that come for campus placements are really good, but as a student I feel that the professional grooming needed is not upto the mark and there is a lot of scope for improvement.

I took Maharashtra -CET, My score in entrance was 90 percentile. I always wanted to persue Finance management as my career.

Academically course was very good. However it lacked the practical approach, we should have been given more opportunities to work in real corporate atmosphere.

There were quit few companies which visited our campus for internship. Stipend offered was in the region of 5-10K. Companies included: Vodafone, Airtel, Tata, NB Pvt ltd, Indiabulls.

Around 300 companies visited the campus (Mostly for marketing).L&T - ?5,00,000Xl Dynamics - ?4,50,000credit Sussie - ? 4,00,000.

Our college holds annual festival called Karandak.Its one of the biggest events in Pune and around 40K students participate.Events include: Fashion shows, Dance, and other technical events.

Its feasible. My fees for two years course was about ?3,30,000 and above that there is examination. I think this college is value for money as compared to other colleges in the region.

Minority scholarship are available in college. I believe they provide around 25K scholarship per year. College doesnt provide loan facility.

Campus life was incredible and so were the extracurricular activities and other cultural events. It was great to share a platform with so many different ethnicities and cultures. One of the best experiences from my campus life included interacting with people with different perspectives and getting exposed to diverse view points to inculcate in my perspective. Over all, the most important thing was to learn and witness unity in diversity which has been a driving force for my decisions and perspective in life.

My instititution had a very strong alumni network which included periodic interactions with alumni and senior students. It was always a motivating and inspirational session to see where they have reached in their careers and life.

We only have internal and external exams, apart from exams there are regular submissions. 30 marks for internals and 70 for external. Also there are couple of internal subjects per semister.

Faculties were very well educated and experience however some of them did not want to share the knowledge and experience. There is also good amount of favoritism among teacher. Overall standard is good.
