Dislikes
- We dont have our own playground , but whenever needed we get access to other grounds and turfs nearby , so not a big deal

Course Curriculum Overview
So the course has 3 exams , and i choose it because i want to persue in Financial markets and this is one of the college that is recognised by NSE . also they give special focus on NISM Certification Examinations , which helps us a lot in jobs and further upgradation , It actually makes us industry ready and we get a clear idea about stock market and financial market . The mentors teach it very well but i can add if we get access to real time data studies that would be more beneficial , though it would be tough for many students to grab . The exams timings are a bit challenging , as we get exams one after another , and also we have various events going with it .
Internships Opportunities
So from the second quad that is from after completing a year we will be given internships which is both paid and unpaid ,Companies like Sbi , birla , Spensers, various banks , amc and fmcg companies comes for internships , its approx a six months to a year process , where you get a chance to work hard and get a PPO(Pre Placement Offer) , where companies gives offer just after internship .
Placement Experience
So talking about placements we are sent for interviews just after our second quadmester exams and it maybe paid or non paid internship , as per your qualification and clearance of various tests , also there is a high chance of getting Pre Placement Offer from the internship itself and if not we will return to college after completing our internship and then sit for final placements , where in finance we get comapnies like , SBI Mutual Funds , HDFC AMC and Bank , Icici , Bajaj , Etc . and mostly all the companies give an average package ranging from 6-10 lakhs and they hire good number of candidates , and talking about the placement percentage . many are placed in the first attempts only and the few students takes time to reappear and crack their job.

Admission
So i didnt apply for much colleges but i reviewed many colleges during my selection process , but i selected this institute because it is the only one in Kolkata which is Recognised by NSE and i have a keen interest in share markets and capital markets so i opted for this institution at the first go and i didnt appeared for much colleges . The Admission process is very easy , they have their own exams BIBSET and they take entrance test and personal interview sessions , but its not so tough .
Faculty
So the faculties are very supportive and helpful , classes are never felt heavy , specially faculties like Anirudh Banerjee Sir , Shambo Sir , Supriyo Sir, Ankit sir , Ranjana Maam , and many other , they are really one of the best mentors i have seen , the classes are productive and insightful , we also have corporate sessions 3-4 times a week which give us added knowledge about the industry . Coming to Exams , we have 3 exams simultaneously , one for MBA Finance (Vidyasagar University), one for PGPFM(Diploma ) and one for NISM certifications , grading the exams , NISM are the toughest among these , but the mentors guide very well , if attended all classes its not a big deal to crack and rest exams are comparatively easy .
Interview Experience
There was a Apti test with basic maths , english , logical reasoning , which is a basic entrance level exam , we didnt have any GD during admisssion but we had many sessions on GD and apti for our internshios and placements . And there is a PI round during Admission where i was been asked about Share Market news and updates , basics GK like Foreign affairs minister , some intro of myself etc.
Night Life
So the classes get over at 5pm and after that we can stay back to college till 7-8 pm also , we have places like Sarovar Lake nearby , where we go hangout with friends , we have various cafes and roadside stalls , we have Lake Mall nearby , we have many food joints across our campus where we can sit , chat , enjoy and have fun , as i go from a far distance , i travel 1hr to college so i dont experience the night life much , but there are students who stays in nearby hostels and have a fun living life here.
