PGDM experience

Pros: Nice culture, Good quality education, Endless access to library and other reference materials. Good facilities Cons: Placements, Fees.

XAT & CAT. I had scored 79%le in XAT and 87%le in CAT and I felt the college to be reputed as I stayed very near to a group of SDM institutions. Also of the options I had this was the best in class i.e Christ, XIME Bangalore, NMIMS Blore.

I had selected Marketing and Operations. Everybody selects marketing here because it is a safer bet from placements perspective. Marketing curriculum was vast but on the operations from I felt they could have included few more subjects and could have given free six sigma certification from a reputed board.

Internship is of 2 months during the summer and most of the students go for unpaid internship but still 10 to 20% get paid internship, I had got 3 offers for internship but selected the one that was paid (10k per month). Which was very meager but still better than nothing. The highest our batch mates got was 35 k/month.

Placement is a cake walk if you were previously working for TCS, INF, Capgemini etc. however for a fresher and the one with lower scores the placement is tough. Infy and TCS paid 8.5 and 6 LPA resp, however there were few others which paid around 8LPA but on a average most students got a pay package of 4 to 6 lakhs. The placement season is short hence getting placed early is important also 20-30 % students dont get placed at the end, that's a depressing thing for the students. But the college tries best to place them.

The college hosts a lot of conferences and conducts 2 management fests. For the conferences we see participants all over the world. For management fests the students are usually from South Indian colleges. Rest of the events are run by students and there are festivals conducted by students and are funded by them also which was fun. But overall on this parameter there is always something or the other coming up.

At my time the fees was reasonable but current fee is expensive is what I personally felt considering the placements and the recognition of the college.Even being a good college and providing best education the college fails in promoting itself which affects the placements as the recruiters don't know your college.

No scholarships are sponsored. I never came across anybody who did.

We had people from all the states and the gender ratio was 60:40.The campus life is decent and the college had tight security which didn't allow any illegal activities. Regular raids were conducted to catch smokers and drinkers.I could see a air of equality in the college. There's no gender bias in the college and the support staff is super friendly as well.

Excellent! The rooms are individual and everybody gets privacy also they provide you with a bed, table, chair, cupboard, shoe rack, branded mattress and pillows. Hostels are cleaned once in a week and are well maintained. The food quality is awesome for the price and never have I ever faced problems with hygiene. The taste also is excellent, reason why I had problems with reducing weight ha ha. Also the gymnasium is top notch.

Alumni network needs to improve a lot,this is where the college loses few points, of the alumni network was strong the placements would have been better but that's not the case and the college can work on it.

Exams are scheduled once in 45 days, each term is divided with 2 exams mid term and end term and there are 3 terms in a year. I didn't feel exams to be hectic but if you don't like studying and prepare only on the last day you are in for a trouble. But the grades differ by a mark so need to be competitive.

I had to present my CAT scores after which they called for the interview. I wrote a written assessment test and had a PI round with 2 faculty members. Slowly one after the other they started publishing the results and I got shortlisted and got the selection letter from the college which also mentioned about the joining formalities and the fee structure bank details etc.

Faculty was good when I was learning in the college however the same old faculty is almost 60% replaced with new faculty who are not that great but its still better as what I heard from my juniors. Faculty during my time were legendary however they wanted to retire hence the college is not really at fault here.
