My college experience

I chose to attend Amrita School of Arts and Sciences because it offered BBA and the college was near my home. Amrita is also one of the top universities of India which made it my best option available. The admission process is done through merit. A person with a High School Diploma in any stream with 50% is eligible to apply for this college. The course which I study comes under Commerce and Management, which is a girls-only department, but there are other departments that are co-ed. I prefer this college over others as Amrita's certificate has a higher value compared to most of the colleges in Kerala. The college's official website (www.amrita.edu) was really helpful for me while I was applying for the college.

I chose BBA because I wanted to develop my management skills in order to pursue MBA as my major. The teachers of my colleagues are highly experienced and qualified in their respective fields. The student-faculty ratio of Amrita Campuses is 1:8, which is greater than the prescribed national norms. There are two semesters in each year, the semesters are known as odd semesters and even semesters. Odd semesters are shorter with a duration of four months and even semesters are longer with a duration of 6 months with semester exams at the end of each semester.

Many companies approach our college with placement opportunities. Famous companies like Deloitte, Infosys, TCS, SAP, etc. We have a placement cell known as the CIR (Corporate and Industry relations) department. Students become eligible for campus placement from the 4th semester onwards. The companies that approached our batch so far, for placements are Deloitte and Deshaw. The average package offered by the companies is usually 40K - 60K per month. Almost 65 - 90% of the students get placed every year. Plans after BBA - I am planning to get employed in any business field and gain experience of at least 2-3 years, then pursue my MBA.

The BBA course with specialization in Logistics Management is a 3-year course with the fees structure as follows: 1st year - Rs. 82,500 2nd year - Rs. 76,500 3rd year - Rs. 76,500 the admission fee is Rs. 1000 which is payable during the time of admission.

Life at the campus is pretty okay. The annual fest is known as Brahmasthanam which happens on 27th September, Mata Amritanandamayi's birthday. Then there are department fests. The fests are conducted during the month of February. There are five departments in our college and each department has its own fest. The tech fest is organized by the students of the computer science and IT department, then there is maths fest, Management fest, department of Visual Media's fest and finally English department's fest.
