Entrance Preview

Entrance Exams: University Entrance for MBA, Scored: 86%. One of the prestigious MBA institutes in North Karnataka.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course curriculum was good & up-to-date. Since we had some practising Managers who took some courses / classes- it was also a good thing, since they were stressing more on the practical aspects rather than purely the theoretical ones mentioned in the syllabus.

Internships Opportunities

Yes, the students were supposed to do 2 Internships - 1 in first year MBA & the other in the 2nd year MBA. The institute through the Placement cell ensured that most of us got Internship in some good companies & this intern helped us to land decent jobs.

Placement Experience

3.5

Being in a place like Dharwar- far away from the Corporate world- this I must say was the only main disadvantage that we didnot have very good placements. Apparently, with a very active "Placement Cell" now, I understand that this has been rectified & lot of students do get placed before they complete their course.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The Fee structure was very reasonable. I remember that our entire MBA for 2 years cost us 35000 INR- including the cost of the books which were provided to us for both the years. However, as I hear from my juniors, the fees has slightly gone up & now is in the range of 1.5 Lakhs for the 2 years course- excluding the hostel & mess.

Alumni/Alumna

The Alumni network was not very structures during our college days. We do have our annual Alumni meet called- "Darpan", which attracts lot of senior alumni. I had good luck that some of the senior Alumni supported me when I came to Bangalore in search of job. That was a great moral booster.

Exam Structure

We had tight schedules with "Surprise Tests" being a part of the fun- since this never gave an opportunity to lax. Apart from this we had the mid term & year end exams which were scheduled.

Admission

The university calls for the entrance in the month of Dec- Jan of the previous year. Based on the Entrance exam results, students were shortlisted & called for GD, followed by an Interview. Based on the performance in all the 3, the selection lists were announced.

Nice MBA experience with an aesthetic campus and good placements.

Placement Experience:

Placements in the college are good for marketing specialization. Compared to other specializations, from semester 2 itself, students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like Deloitte, KPMG, ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank visit the campus. The highest package this year was 40 LPA, and the average package is around 6.5 LPA. The percentage of students getting placed is 70% for now. After getting the degree, selection in a good company is my plan.

Bridging the gap

Placement Experience:

The average package offered is moderate and there are limited opportunities for high paying roles compared to top tier colleges. Companies that visit the campus are mostly small to mid sized organizations. The placement cell is very supportive and conduct training sessions such as aptitude tests, mock interviews and soft skills development to prepare students for placements.

Good learning experience with Decent Internships opportunities

Placement Experience:

Placement in my college is decent, wiyh around 90% of students are getting placed. Students usually become eligible for placement in their final year and the college provides internships opportunities before that, which helps in gaining experience. Many companies visit to campus mainly from marketing and sales, along with some roles in HR and operations. The number of offer is good but option for finance and analytic are comparatively limited.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course because to get good knowledge like finance and accounts marketing and sales in two years of my masters . The circulum was well prepared me in completing two years of my graduation by studing in my academic subject.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would like to rate the course 7 out of 10. Because as these is a distance learning many difficulties occur. I am doing a MBA in ksou after my graduation in b. Com. As ksou comes under UGT it is more helpful for the job seeker. As per my knowledge the faculty should conduct a more classes may be through online so that the working people can attend the classes from wherever they want. There are many distance learning courses in ksou academic platform but they are not handling in a accuracy. They take a lot of time to announce a results, even to conduct a exams they take a lot of time. The question paper are sometimes difficult and the question will be from out of syllabus which will be difficult to attend. Distance learning course is difficult to manage

Placement Experience:

Practically 80% of my 2020 batch was given job offer by top recruiting organizations like Amazon, iGate, Accenture, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, DE Shaw & Co. Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.

My KIMS College Review

My journey with the KIMS college was pretty eccentric. I learned a lot, gained a lot and all the while enjoying myself. Finance being my major area of concern, helped me get a better grasp of the things and methods of financial management. College infrastructure, in fact, the entire campus was lit with positive vibes uplifting your mood and providing an ideal setup for learning. Extracurricular activities were limited though, but it helped us dedicate more time to learning....Read More
