Akash Poddar's Review On Mumbai University - [MU], Mumbai

I was always intrigued with the management Side of sporting events after I worked as in the hospitality department of the FIFA U- 17 World cup that took place in India on 2017. I was always into sports. I played professional basketball as well so if not as a player as a management professional I wanted to be linked with sports. I had faced a lot of trouble with how the criteria is set for playing basketball in our country, the loopholes present in it and so wanted to bring a positive change in that scenario, uplift the game of basketball in India at a broader scale, work with companies that directly handle athletes and events related to sport's. The college I study in, International institute of sports management is the first college in our country to bring this course up. I is widely regarded as the best college when it comes to sport's management so yes it was a no brainier for me to take up sport's management in iism itself. Our college has a lot of international tie ups which would definitely help me link with companies so as to go abroad and study what and how different the sport's structure is in other countries are, where our country is lagging behind and bring this inputs and apply them as much as possible cause we all know the next big thing and the biggest untapped market of sports has to be India.

Our course syllabus could do a lot of brushing up cause I've been in the industry and what I've seen there and what is tought in our college doesn't do much justice. Our college though has provided us with a lot of industry exposure. Our college needs to have a good sports facility of their own and is probably the biggest drawback of our college.

Well that's not very exciting cause most of use what we thought might be offered is not what we are offered. Well none of use came to this institute to work like a cooperate official but the jobs we are provided with are of a cooperate official working in a sporting industry.

We didn't have much of a campus life cause we didn't have any campus in the first place. All we had was a cafeteria where we used to meet after classes, a carrom board, a foosball table crammed in that cafeteria. That's about it. It actually rented out an office space to function as our college.
