Aarushi Karwal's Review On LBSIM- Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute Of Management, New Delhi

CAT, I preferred this course over PGDM finance because it allows for dual specialisation in the second year hence allowing me to choose a combination of finance majors and marketing minors.

The course is highly detailed and focuses on practical knowledge rather than theoretical knowledge. The course comprises of a lot of case studies for each subjects which help the students to develop the art of solving real time problems. Apart from that a lot of research projects are also a part of the curriculum which helps in gaining in depth knowledge about the subjects.

The college provides internship after completion of 1st year companies Earnst and young, Asian paints, Pwc, Kpmg, Arcesium, Bajaj Allianz life insurance, Marsh, RBI etc. Stipend maximum-60000 per month. Average-20000 per month.

Placement record 100% All the students are placed well before even graduating with some companies even offering pre placement offers and pre placement interviews.

Celebrates all festivals with great pomp and show . Organises fund raisers for social issues. The annual management festival TATVA is celebrated every year and comprises of both academic and non academic competitions. Apart from that cultural fests of all the four cultural clubs-MANTRA, ABHIVYAKTI, RAZMATAZZ and VOGUE is organised once a year.

The institute does not offer any scholarship to its students considering that the fees is already very reasonable.

The campus life is very hectic and exciting with a lot of competitions, club meetings, conferences like the hr conference and the finance conference, weekly corporate interface sessions, discussion sessions on current topics, workshops etc. The gender ratio is a bit unbalanced with the no. of boys being more than that of girls but the institute ranks high on geographic and racial diversity.

The college does not have hostel facility which is its only drawback since in campus hostel is a basic requirement especially for an MBA course. However the institute has an off campus hostel on lease for boys.

The alumni network is efficiently maintained by the alumni cell- REMINISCENCE and the alumnus as well as all the senior students are very co-operative which makes the whole experience more beautiful.

It is a trimester system with mid terms in between. Exams are hence 6 times a year with 3 end term and 3 mid term. Each term consists of 7 subjects with 21 subjects in the 1st year and 11 in the 2nd year. It becomes hectic sometimes but also helps us to keep ouselves busy giving us a feel of the real corporate world.

All the faculty members are extremely educated with most of them holding a phd in their respective fields. Faculty is very particular about the seriousness of their job and are devoted and very helping. They are the go to places for students in the hour of need.
