FOSTIIMA BUSINESS SCHOOL Honest Review

The placement is excellent. At the time of admission, the college promised that they will help students to get placed in MNC and I can see my seniors getting placed in Deloitte and ICICI Bank, and many more companies with exciting packages above 8 LPA. They often conduct Industrial Expert Lectures to give core information about the domain. You may get a PPO (Pre Placement Offer) during your summer internship. They have conducted 3 industry visits to companies like Parle G, Nestle, etc. They will give you one national and international trip to give you exposure. They will also provide you with laptops all included in your fees. Overall the college is great for PGDM, in terms of ROI, Placements, and other opportunities.

The faculty is excellent. Everyone has experience in the corporate world, few are businessmen and entrepreneurs and they give core knowledge about the field. All the faculty are IIM alumni, and most of them are passouts of IIM AHMEDABAD which is a great thing in itself. One teacher handles a class of 60 students and they focus on every student. They use a practical approach to teaching students and make learning more effective and interactive. Exam held every 4 months gap.

Companies like Ken, Unity and HDFC Bank offers internship. They offer live projects and sometimes they might offer you Pre Placement Offer based on your performance. The amount is not good, to be honest, but you will get excellent knowledge about the domain. The highest amount for internship was 40 thousand. Companies may offer unpaid internships as well, it's up to you which company you want to work with. They may keep you for profiles like customer relations management, sales profile, etc.

From the 3rd semester, you are eligible to sit for campus placement. Companies visited for recruitment: Cadbury, ICICI Bank, Deloitte, Oyo, Snapdeal, Kotak Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, etc. 98% of the students got placed in the campus placement, the management also look for already placed alumni to offer them better offers in MNC. The highest package offered was 17 LPA, and the average placement was 9.5 LPA. As compared to the fee (i.e., 8.25 LPA) the ROI is excellent. My plan after getting a degree is to get placed in a company like Deloitte with a package approx 10 LPA.

The fees can be said to average college fees that other colleges are offering which are 8.25 Lakhs. They help you to get education loans from banks. But the process of getting a loan is quite complex, it took me 2 months to get the loan and the bank people are not supporting me as well. But the college is very supportive they didn't charge me late penalties, also they offer good scholarships. Like if you score above 70% in graduation and 12th they will give you a scholarship of 25000.

The campus-like is good. College celebrates freshers' parties, farewell parties, annual fest, mega fests, teachers' day, and many other celebrations. They also organize sports events like PUBG, Pool, table tennis, etc. Books are provided by the college free of cost, you can read magazines and newspapers in the library itself. You can make a library card to issue books from the library. There are various clubs and committees made for students for their development and to make them team players. I was working in the E committee which taught me about managing social media accounts.

I've gone through PI and Exam. The interviewer was one of the professors of the college. First, they asked about my introduction, my education qualification, and my work experience. Then asked a few questions about current affairs and other subject-related questions like marketing and finance. After that, they took an MCQ test of 40 questions which includes questions about General knowledge, logical reasoning and data interpretation, quantitative aptitude, and verbal communication. Then I was called for a college visit, they show me the labs, and classes and schedule a meeting with the HODs. My CAT preparation helped me to crack the test and the interview. There was no Group Discussion round.
