College management is decent. The basic hygiene factors are addressed to. However, there is nothing exceptional that is done and students have to work hard themselves to achieve what they require

I took MH-CET entrance exam where I scored a total of 152 marks which comprised of marks scored in my written test, group discussion and personal interview. I opted for this college because it is one of the best MBA colleges in my hometown Pune

International Business 5. Human Resource Management 6. Systems Management Apart from these, there were minor electives out of which one was to be mandatorily chosen

Almost 80% of the students are placed through the campus placement cell for internships. The experience was rich with maximum exposure to the corporate life. The typical stipend offered ranges from 5, 000 t 10, 000 a month, however, most of the internships are unpaid

The placement is handled only by the student community with no interference of the faculty.

Citibank - 9 lpa2. Bajaj Finance Ltd. 6.7 lpa3. ICICI Bank - 6 lpa4. TCS - 4.8 lpa5. Alchemist Ark - 4.5 lpa6. Eaton - 4.5 lpa

The fee structure is very less since this is a government entity.During our first year, the fee was Rs. 36, 000/- annually which increased to 65, 000/- in the next year

MBA students belonging to the SC/ST category in Pune University do not have to pay the fee. It is free for them. However, I am not aware of any scholarship of loan facility that was offered by our college that is in practise

The campus is small however, it is always seen bustling with extracurricular activities. The gender ratio is not great with 1:10 female-male ratio. However, students are a lot in Business plan competitions, paper presentations, quiz competitions, sports and other activities related to Management. Most of our students have visited esteemed institutes like the IIMs and won awards there.

There is no dedicated hostel facility for PUMBA.Very limited seats are available since the hostel is for students belonging to all branches across Pune University. The hostel is alright with basic amenities avaialble

Alumni network is strong. Most of the placement happens due to contacts with the alumni network. There is an annual event called Nostalgia when they come together and socialise. Alumni is also connected through social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn
