Effectiveness of Placement Cell for MBA/PGDM Courses at NDIM

* Finance students: Also have decent placement opportunities, with companies offering salaries between INR3-INR6 Lacs (Source: "Around 3 to 6 lacs package is offered.")

* Campus placements: The college focuses on ensuring that students receive placements until the last candidate is placed (Source: "If you are a bright student, there are chances to get placed in a good company. Placement cell will put every effort to provide placements till last.")

However, there are some concerns raised by students and alumni, such as:

* Limited sports and recreational facilities on campus
* Poor condition of hostel rooms and lack of amenities
* Limited availability of certain resources, such as stationery supplies near the college

Despite these limitations, the placement cell at NDIM seems to have a reasonable success rate, particularly for students pursuing Marketing and Finance roles.

All students at NDIM have the option to pursue a Dual Specialisation which multiplies career opportunities manifolds. The curriculum for all specialisations is actively updated with inputs of Industry experts. The suggestion would be to get a flavour of all fields during the first Semester, which comprises core papers only; specialisations start in the second semester. One can truly be successful if one pursues the field that inspires and excites them the most, so kindly choose the specialisation that students are truly passionate about, success will follow.
