Here's a summary of what current students and alumni have said about their experience studying B.Com at ABBS Bangalore:

* Infrastructure: The college has decent infrastructure, with spacious classrooms, Wi-Fi availability (only for laptop users), and a comfortable canteen. However, the hostel food is average, and the food prices are high.
* Teaching: The faculty is generally helpful and knowledgeable, although some may not teach effectively. The course curriculum is relevant, but outdated and lacks practical exposure.
* Placement: While the college claims 100% placement, many students feel that the numbers are inflated. Around 40-60% of students get placed in popular companies like 99 Acres, Amazon, Asian Paints, Axis Bank, KPMG, and FedEx Express. The highest salary package offered is around INR6 LPA.
* Internship: Unfortunately, the college doesn't provide many internship opportunities, leaving students to rely on external sources. Some students reported getting internships at companies like Unschool, Byju's, and Art of Living.
* Campus Life: The campus hosts occasional events, festivals, and guest lectures, but overall, campus life is limited.
* Career Support: The placement department focuses on supporting MBA and BBA students, leaving B.Com students without adequate guidance.

Overall, while ABBS Bangalore seems to offer some positives, such as a decent infrastructure and relatively good teaching staff, the lack of effective career support and limited internship opportunities might leave B.Com students feeling somewhat disappointed. It's essential to weigh these pros and cons carefully when considering enrollment.
