Course Curriculum Overview

4

The insurance industry is a sunrise sector, and the National Insurance Academy offers specialized education in insurance, making it a prime opportunity for students seeking stability. With a curriculum comprising 60% MBA and 40% insurance-related subjects covering life, general, health, marine, and more, students receive a comprehensive understanding of the field. Coupled with a 100% placement rate, this course offers relevant skills and ample opportunities in today's world.

Fees and Financial Aid

As a member of the admission committee, I can confirm that the fees, including hostel charges, will rise from 12.5 lakhs to nearly 15.5 lakhs starting from the 2024 admission season. Additionally, the intake has expanded from 150 to 180 students. The entrance exam XAT is now accepted with a minimum percentile of 85%. Scholarships are available for the top performers in each student category.

Campus Life

5

After completing my first year at NIA, I can affirm it boasts a stunning campus with diverse committees organizing cultural and social events. The annual fest, MANTHAN, is a highlight. With sprawling infrastructure across 24 acres, it's truly impressive.

Admission

I scored 87.90%ile in Cmat and as the COVID 19 pandemic was at the end I had to give PI online. The process was very smooth. The cut-off was 75%ile for CAT and 95%ile for Cmat. As I have done internship in a insurance firm and had cleared III (insurance institute of India) exams i had very good chances to get in NIA. Any Bachelors degree is accepted from a reputed university at NIA. Tere are reservation benifits too.

Interview Experience

4.5

Previously, during the COVID-19 pandemic, only a personal interview (PI) was required for admission. However, now both group discussions (GD) and PIs are mandatory, conducted both online and offline. There is no longer a written test component.

Placement Experience:

We have to complete two months internship after our first year after which we can convert these internships into jobs and thus get placed as well. Around 50 percent students are currently placed. We can search for jobs on our own and well go for placements via college.
