Symbiosis Noida- Would’ve been good if not heavily over-priced

The courses are outdated, far from industry standards. The faculty and the teachers are decent and helpful but otherwise the courses and curriculums should be updated and should be made more challenging.

The placements are next to non existent. Even the scholars of my batch were finding it hard to get placed through college placements. The college did initiate a lot of companies being invited to the college and conduct interviews. But, neither the payscale nor the companies were very lucrative

The fees I paid was about 3,25,000 Rs per year, divided into 4 installments (2 installments per semester) The fees was increased by 25,000 Rs after every year, from 1st to 2nd to 3rd year. The fees mainly remained the same for all fields of study, while I did not opt-in for the hostel, The college only has the facility of a girls hostel and i am unaware of the total fees for availing that facility. I am not aware of a scholarship program as such.

The campus was really small in size, but on the contrary it was just enough, with a decent canteen, a mess to eat, space around the main building to to walk, 2 basement floors of parking, with ample outside, decent sized classrooms but there was no field/ground for sports activities. Overall decent but it could be much better

I had applied to NMIMS (Narsee Monjee, Bengaluru campus) only reason i chose not to join NMIMS was due to creating more options, quality and fees wise both these colleges are the same. I got selected but decided to join Symbiosis Noida, simply due to convenience of less travel and the college being closer to my home. The exam required to qualify for this course is SET exam. The cutoff is nothing which is not achievable, its probably 65-70% if i remember correctly. Its not the most difficult college to get into.

So the course structure basically works on credits, each field of study has 2-3 additional subjects, 1-2 of the additional subjects have the maximum amount of credits (weightage) it holds w.r.t to the number of classes for that course, weightage in examinations and overall weightage in semester-ly grades. The examination system is flawed, very rarely the exams are scheduled in a way that there is enough time to prepare for all the exams. The exam and course sturcture is also very wayward as the structure keeps on changing every couple semesters, no consistency and logic in making so many changes

The "tapri" nearby is Rajesh, its the most famous for basic college student activites and a decent hangout spot. The college in intself has a library- nothing too special. The locality is quite safe, nothing that I was ever concerned about.
