College is good in terms of exposure and extracurriculars, but it can improve a little otherwise.

Placements: The current placement percentage is over 95%, but out of students who apply. Salary packages range from 5 LPA - 10 LPA. Companies like Zomato, Tries Vista, KPMG, Swiggy, and ICICI Bank come for recruitment. Internships are scarce and non-rewarding. Top roles are in the marketing and finance domains.

Infrastructure: College is like a school, with professors instead of teachers. Wi-Fi is decent, and labs are available but of no apparent use. Library is academically inclined with a lot of study material, but the ambience is not appealing. Other facilities like medical and canteen are really good.

Faculty: Teachers are great, barring some. Curriculum is relevant, with one or two unnecessary subjects each semester. It does make students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult but in a different way. They give us virtually no time to prepare and tons of coursework. Students have to study the entire book content in one night for 40 marks.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted a great head start in the corporate world. I love the events on our campus, especially after organising a lot of them. But the college fest, Sympulse, is the epitome of randomness.

Not value for money but Great choice if you want to socialize and party.

Placements: You have to particularly apply and register for placements. Basically if you want to opt in or not , in my opinion its a great facility provided by the college. And also the college does not bother you if you don't decide to sit or opt in for placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure may feel small but the cleanliness is on point and the mess food is really tasty. The canteen's food is also very yum, And the place where the college is located. There are tons of cafes and restaurants in which you can have a great time with your friends.

Faculty: The faculties are moderately okay and its just you have to be in their good books all the time. The curriculum is not that great and the teachers trouble you if you don't score well in the exams or have low attendance, you just have to score well for that matter. The exams and backlogs are really bad as the schedule clashes with the holidays.

Other: If you want a 30,000 job and you are a party-animal then symbiosis is the place for you. But if you want to start a business the entrepreneurship plan of the college is not that good , so i would suggest some other college and also if you don't like to party symbi is not the place.

Moderately satisfied by the faculty, and placements are good specially for BBA.

Placements: 96.96% of the placement-registered students were placed. The highest package was 10 LPA, with 6.58 LPA and 3.5 LPA being the average and the lowest package, respectively. Top recruiting companies are KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, Barclays, Zomato, ICICI Bank, Accenture, etc. Plenty of internships are provided. Roles offered are in finance, marketing, and HR.

Infrastructure: All the facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library are indeed available, but the infrastructure is not completely state-of-the-art compared to other Symbiosis colleges. The reason being that this is one of the oldest and most prominent Symbiosis colleges. Infrastructure improvements are needed. Hostels, on the other hand, are state-of-the-art and newly constructed. All the facilities are provided. Food is very decent, with all types of cuisines served and food quality being sincerely good.

Faculty: My opinion about the teachers is mixed. Some are very qualified and intelligent, whereas some are just not good enough for such a big institution with a 20 lakh fee. The course curriculum taught is relevant, but there is a lot of scope for improvement, and much obsolete material is being taught. Generally, only 10% of the batch gets backlogs, and the exams are not very difficult to crack.

Kindly dissatisfied because of the infrastructure and facilities, but the social life is good.

Placements: Generally, 95% of the students sitting for placements get placed. However, the percent of students sitting for placements itself is quite low. The high package that was offered this year was 11 LPA, the lowest was 3–4 LPA, I believe, and the average was 5-8 LPA. The top recruiting companies were Zomato, Amazon, and ICICI Bank. We have frequent internship drives provided by the college itself, for which an average of 15-20 students apply and 4-5 get the internship. At the same time, there are bigger internship drives as well, where the company is looking to hire 20–30 students at once. The internships are for an average of 3 months, but there are shorter ones available as well.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided by the college are fine, but there are no auditorium classrooms and no ACs either. The entire college is just one building, and the campus itself is not huge either. The Wi-Fi is the only redeeming factor. The library is decent but not extraordinary. There is barely any space to sit inside the library, but they have seating arrangements outside the library. The mess food is mediocre, but the canteen food is very good. The medical facilities are decent, but they cannot handle anything too complicated. There are barely any fields available. We have a basketball court and football field, but the rest of the sports facilities are not available on our campus. However, they are available in SLS, which is open for use.

Faculty: The professors are quite knowledgeable in their field and know what they are doing. They give us interesting practical experience-related assignments that help us learn new things. The course curriculum focuses on everything equally, from academics to real-life skills to even fitness. The college also organizes the occasional factory visit to show us how things work. The semester exams can be difficult, but the pass percentage is only 40%, so it is not that bad.

I am absolutely satisfied and happy to be a part of this college.

Placements: More than 90% of students are placed in the course. The highest salary package offered is 7.15 LPA, the lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are KPMG, PWC, Deloitte, Zomato, TresVista, Accenture, Calvin Klein, and Tommy Hilfiger. The course has a mandatory component of corporate internship where every student is required to intern in the field of their choice namely, finance, marketing, HR, etc. Students can get internships through the internship cell in companies like Zomato, Recruit NXT, and Tradeshala. They can get internships on their own. Top roles offered in the course are accounting and finance, marketing management, Human Resources, international business, entrepreneurship, and environment studies.

Infrastructure: The campus is enabled with 24x7 Wi-Fi with good and stable connectivity. It has infrastructure like classrooms, a library, computer labs, AV room, a reading room, conference room, music room, counselling room, and gym. Classrooms are equipped with modern technology of teaching like smart boards and audio facilities. The college has separate hostels for male and female students. Good quality food is served in the canteen and mess. SCHC is always available for the safety of the students.

Faculty: The college has the best teaching faculty members who are knowledgeable, qualified, and selfless. The teaching quality is modern, adaptive, and interactive. The course curriculum is relevant and apt. It makes students industry-ready. It develops them as professionals who are ready for business management. Semester exams are neither moderate nor difficult. They are designed perfectly to test the knowledge of the students. The pass percentage is 40%.

Other: I chose this course as it makes students industry-ready. It gives exposure to the corporate world. The best thing about this course is that it provides students with all the elements required for management professionals. Practical assignments have to be given to students for more hands-on experience. The college has its annual fest named Sympulse. It is a fest managed by the students and is one of the best things one can experience during college. The campus has a diverse crowd of young minds across the nation and foreign countries. The campus has a lively environment that makes students feel at home. The course focuses on extra-curricular activities also. It gives opportunities for students to show their talent in sports, dance, music, debate, organising events, and so on.

Great college, immense potential, failure in execution.

Placements: 98% of students interested in placements were placed. The highest package was around 8.8LPA. The lowest package was around 2.5LPA (not sure). The median package is 5 LPA. Most placements range from salary offerings of 3LPA to 6LPA, with five or six companies exceeding 7LPA. Top companies on campus were Accenture, DeltaX, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, Fuld and Company, Zomato, and so on. Top roles offered were HR trainee, general management trainee, marketing analyst, financial analyst, social media managers, customer relationship managers, and so on.

Infrastructure: The college campus was bright, cheerful, and well-ventilated. It consisted of spacious classrooms, a computer lab, AV room, a library filled with a variety of books, including exam prep books, novels for light reading, newspapers, and magazines. We also had a digital library. The campus included a 400+ seater auditorium, an amphitheatre, and a juice centre. The campus was Wi-Fi enabled. The official college hostel was 1 km away from the college, and a shuttle bus facility was offered for commute. Hostel rooms were comfortable as well, available for double and triple occupancy. Lack of air conditioning made it a little difficult to adjust in summer. Food quality was okay but predominantly vegetarian, with very few non-veg options. Sports and games formed a major part of all students' lives, with basketball and football courts in the adjoining law campus.

Faculty: The teachers were helpful and knowledgeable. On paper, they were perfect as they completed the course on time, provided notes, and took regular lectures. The course material, however, was not very challenging. The deadlines were often relaxed, and submissions and exams were rote-based and could be easily copied off the internet instead of actually working on them. The semester exams are fairly easy.

Other: Things I would like to improve are to increase the number of permanent faculty members instead of depending on guest lecturers. Another thing would be to reduce student politics in clubs and committees by increasing faculty and admin involvement, allowing inclusivity instead of restricting all positions and duties for a select pool of 30 members out of a batch of 500 students. Main fests included Sympulse, the annual cultural fest, Conoscenza, the annual business fest. Both of these were organized with grandeur, with several cultural, sports, and business events as well as gala entertainment.
