The purpose of such programmes is to provide an opportunity to executives to update their knowledge in their fields of expertise and also to help them acquire the knowledge, skills and attitude required to function in other areas where they may not have had any previous exposure. Management development programmes (MDPs) are offered at Kharagpur and in other cities in India. Specially customized programmes are also offered on request from specific organizations. Faculty members gain valuable experience through teaching in such MDPs, which is then used to enhance the quality of teaching in the MBA Programme. The annual industry-academia linkage programme- Entre’PACT is another major event.

College Events

There is purvodaya the Annual B-School Fest as well as shitij and other Pan IIT fest. The Spring Fest in IIT kharagpur is well known and VGSOM gets to organise it and participate in it. There are many other events organised by all the clubs and committees in the college. one such event is the VPL – VGSoM Premier League; yes it is the thing that you think it is. A Cricket competition along the lines of IPL is led each year and is downright looming show. 4 sets of group administrators and players take part in an IPL – like closeout that is gushed live. Post-sell off, there are coordinates over the traverse of a month. A ton of techniques, strategies and a ton of fun are the constituents of the recipe for the entire occasion.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Yes the fee structure is very cheap considering the quality of education that you get here. It is just around 7 LPA for 2 years. MBA is not cheap in india but VGSOM defies that. I consider it one of the most important aspect you get the IIT brand and believe me it is one of the best thing to have.

Fees and Financial Aid

With a low charge structure in any case, this B-School is unique with regards to offering some incentive for cash and is apparently one of the nation's most efficient MBA establishment considering the over-repaying and regularly expanding arrangements scene.

Campus Life

4.5

The facilities here are better than any B-School or for that matter any college in entire India. The campus is the best campus, it will take time but eventually you will love this place. The facilities here are extremely cheap and save a lot of your money.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Food was not that much good it was just OK. I would the I hated the hostel the day I arrived in IIT Kharagpur but eventually I started loving the same place and people around me. And believe me you won't stay in your hostel for more than 5-6 hours IIT Kharagpur is far more beautiful and there are plenty of places to go and eat so these things are least important.

Alumni/Alumna

Not only does VGSoM have a alumni base for itself yet in addition has the to a great degree huge IIT Kharagpur Alumni available to it too. The Alumni help giving a ton of consolation fiscally and in addition sincerely cordiality of different graduated class interface programs and the yearly Alumni meet sorted out by the focal IIT. Mr. Vinod Gupta, who established the organization in 1993, is a graduate of IIT Kharagpur himself. This goes to demonstrate the gigantic significance of the huge graduated class database.

Exam Structure

It is mostly chilled out and you get plenty of time to focus on live projects and competitions which help you build your personality. VGSOM saw the disclosing of its best in class Bloomberg terminal this year. The main school in the East to have this terminal. This would enable investigating continuous to fund databases, showcase information and encourage individuals put exchanges the exchanging market. The school leads free workshops for the understudies of VGSoM.

Admission

The procedure was a bit in fact situated however I preferred the way that VGSoM offers between 50 for each penny and 100 for every penny charge waivers to 30 for each penny understudies of each group. This will be require construct and will be figured with respect to the premise of an understudy's family salary, among different benchmarks. With a low expense structure in any case, this B-School is unique with regards to offering some benefit for cash and is seemingly one of the nation's most efficient MBA organization considering the over-repaying and consistently expanding arrangements scene.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the course only because of our HOD, but after completing my course, he left the course. He has helped us with all the things like web development and seo skills. By doing it practically for every student, he offers a domain for every student. I had difficulty with Google Ads & meta ads because it was taught by another faculty. The exam times were different by 3 months.

It is one of the renowned institutes in Kolkata. But after admission got the clear msg. It is renowned for its engineering degree only not for PGDM or MBA. They even dont have proper faculties to teach students. I majored in Business Analytics, but back to then in 2019 there was not even one teacher who have subject knowledge.
