A Great Learning Opportunity

I remember my college for the faculty who have shaped me. All, I can say is that, the college had one of the best faculty ever and I miss my college for my teachers. I’d rate my overall experience as 7/10.

I got admission in my college after clearing an entrance exam (I don’t remember the exam name) which was conducted autonomously by our college. I got to know about this college as one of my friends had done his MBA from MITSOB which made me choose that college. Yes, I had to give an interview which was conducted on the day of the entrance exam.

The course curriculum was very nice as my college followed Harvard Business School's case study based learning model, which is one of the best models in the industry. There was a lot of focus on Practical Learning as we were regularly given assignments and were asked to prepare reports on real-life cases.

No, the college didn’t provide any internship and we were supposed to find it on our own. Stipend varied amongst the students because they searched for it on their own.

Placement scenario was very disappointing. Darashaw and India Infoline were the only major companies that visited our college. Average package was 4.5 lacs when I studied in the college. I do not remember the exact figures.

There were no fests organized way back then so college was sort of boring. At times, some educational workshops were organized. The only event we had was, Farewell party.

I clearly do not remember the exact fee but my fee was somewhere around Rs. 65000 per semester. Since, MBA is a 2 year course, so I paid Rs. 2 lakh 60 thousand for my whole course. It was not affordable that time.

Yes, the college scholarships but I don’t remember the exact details and conditions to avail one. I didn’t avail any. Yes, the college did provide help to students for getting loans.

Yes. The management encouraged students to participate in extracurriculars such as dramatics, singing and dancing competition. One could utilize these opportunities to explore every side of them. College facilitated everything for the ECA activities.

My college didn’t have hostel facilities for MBA students so students from other states lived in PGs that time. I’m not sure what is the scenario these days.

Yes, the college did organize Alumni meets and I too went to college in some alumni meets. I interacted with a lot of students and gave them a real picture of the outside corporate world.

I wouldnt say the college followed a chill culture. The college admin was very particular about the attendance, but the curriculum wasnt too tiring or strenuous. Overall, it was okayish.

Most of the faculty members had an experience of more than 10 years. Some of my teachers were very friendly and some were not so my experience with teachers was mixed. They had some of the best guest faculty members too.
