Walking through the gate of school of management

I chose this course as I was interested in pursuing a career in operations management. The faculties were renowned and the school has a good stature in the corporate world. The faculty: Student ratio is roughly 3:1 and the faculties are majority doctorates. The teaching methodology is that of case studies and class discussions and students are kept busy all year long due to assignments. Although it becomes hectic, the assignments are insightful and do not spark fatigue. The courses were easy to understand and the faculties were very helpful.

Product manager roles, finance roles, SC & operations, marketing as well as general manager roles were offered, and the average stipend of the college was 3.3Lakhs for 2 months. Project outcomes include research deliverables, strategic marketing, learnings, and more. The projects also include going to different cities and working with leaders of companies. The major task is to learn the culture and work of the role to see whether we would be a fit for the organization. Added to this are tasks including market research, data management, and decision-making.

Students are eligible for campus placements from the first semester itself. The companies visiting include all top FMCG companies like HUL, ITC, Asian Paints and more. There are placements in finance and marketing including general management too. All of the batches were placed and 113 offers were made during the placement process itself and there are no exceptions who were placed late. My plans after getting this degree are to learn in a dynamic role and grow horizontally before making a name for myself in the SC role at a decision-making level in the long term future.

The fee hike was brutal, doubling the fees from the last batch to ours. This would be a case of large disagreement but the students are generally silent as the B.School market is highly competitive. I got no scholarship or stipend when on campus.

The annual fest is Mood Indigo. it is a large opportunity to meet new people and see a lot of artists. It is conducted in December. Books and journals are available in abundance and in multiple quantities so they never really run out. The classrooms are state of the art and have a step system and charging points. There are mics and speakers for faculties and large whiteboards along with multiple projectors in every classroom. IITB has a great sports culture and PG events, inter-hostel events, and more go on all year long. There are over 300 social groups and clubs run by students here and they are open to everyone while conducting events all across the year.

The course is only eligible for people with a 4-year degree. The application forms could be tracked on the website and telegram groups and the date for application was the 31st of January. The application fee was 1600rs and no reservation benefits were availed by me. The admission process was seamless and on time, and the dates were followed religiously. One recommendation I would have is that they should provide confirmation after acceptance of the offer letter for those who need to withdraw from other colleges.
