Remarks

College management was good - would listen patiently if we had any queries or concerns. For example, the entire class was uncomfortable with one of the professors and when we raise the issue they sorted things and moved him out.

Entrance Preview

The college's own written entrance exam and personal interview. Score was not known - just that we were selected. Minimum first class in 10th, 12th and graduate course was expected as a base.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Interactive, informative, practical with lots of guest lectures. Gave a good hand at theory basics and allowed plenty of classroom practicals with real world examples.

Internships Opportunities

We did not have an internship via the college as this was a PG course. But some of the professors directly picked promising interns to work with them. Salary / stipend ranged from 2k-10k in 2003.

Placement Experience

4

95% of the batch had jobs before the course was complete. The remaining 5% had jobs in the next couple of months. Most people were placed as juniors in ad agencies. All applied independently, not via the college. Salary ranged from 2k-10k.

College Events

3

Malhar was the main fest where we did not actively participate but was celebrated by the college. This is an renown event with students from all colleges participating.

Fee Structure And Facilities

It was reasonable given it was over a decade ago. Am not sure how the fee is structured presently but we had to pay a lumpsum amount for the year - no break ups

Fees and Financial Aid

No, Neither was offered by the college at that time. Loans had to be taken independently if required.

Campus Life

3

Campus life was multi cultural. Gave lots of exposure to people from different backgrounds. Also gave access to people from the industry. I experienced no bias as such.

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni are very influential with most being well known names in the advertising industry. Think the college can introduce better efforts to bring alumni together on a yearly basis.

Exam Structure

Theory exams happened at the end of the year but we were graded all through the year for various assignments with a cumulative grade given at the end of the year. Assignments were constant and were for each professor and we had multiple professors in a month. It also included team assignments so we were on our toes mostly.

Placement Experience:

During my time the first company that visited our organization was Naukri.com, and feel proud to say that i got placed in the same organization. I am very happy with my placement. But talking about my peers. Number of companies who visited to our institute was compared to low as per our expectations. Majority of the companies who visited the institute were sales based organizations. Very less companies for finance and HR field. This made a difficult call for students.

Placement Experience:

The placement scenerio at our caollege can be described as average overall. Most recruiting company belong to the banking and supply chain sectors. Marketing students generally have better placement opportunities, while finance and HR students do get job, though the package are not very high. Buswiness analytics has limited scope as very few companies visit the campus for the roles in that domain.

To be honest there are placements but the placements are like no one want to be there it is just something unacceptable for the HR students . The promises the long talks are all false and they doesn't focus on students future and career rather they care for just attendance

Course Curriculum Overview:

I did choose this course as I am genuinely interested in management and if it is healthcare management that makes me excited. There is a different teaching faculty for each and every subject. The faculties are highly qualified market professionals and experts who teach in an extremely interactive and practical way. They are very supportive. There was one exam conducted per semester which included projects and written exams.
