Hello Supriya,
College will not be providing any laptop for you. If you feel it's required, you can bring it and use but college has two computer laboratories which will be available for you and can be useful for your work.The college is surrounded with a 24/7 Wi-Fi facility with a limit of usage everyday.

I am happy for you as you selected marketing as your major by taking Kirloskar into consideration which is a good specialization in the college. But, the college doesn't provide any courses related to health care management. The only courses provided by KIAMS are marketing, finance, operations and HR. For your second specialization, you need to choose any one of them as per your interest.

Hello Shri,
The college is good for marketing in the first spot and finance at the second spot. If you want to take HR, it's fine but the college is not best for this particular specialization. The faculty depends on the strength of students taking HR as specialization as the faculty will be of visiting faculty to the campus. Coming to placements also HR stands in the third spot out of four which is not advisable.

Hi,
Both XISS and KIAMS are good colleges. However, going by the specialisation, XISS is best known for its HR specialisation among other specialisation available. Whereas, KIAMS is known for marketing among other available specialisations. So it depends on the profile you want to opt for in future.
