{Source: BBA students & alumni}

Based on student reviews and feedback, here's a summary of the pros and cons:

Infrastructure: Good infrastructure with modern amenities, including Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms and libraries.

Faculty: Okay faculty, with some being more experienced and knowledgeable than others.

Curriculum: Relevant curriculum that covers essential topics, making students industry-ready.

Extracurricular Activities: Regular events, fests, and sports activities.

Placements: Unfortunately, there are no placements guaranteed, and students must find internships and jobs themselves.

Internship Opportunities: None provided by the university, leaving students to seek out their own opportunities.

Food: Mess food is decent, but not consistently good.

Campus Life: Good campus life with a mix of relaxation and academic engagement.

Value for Money: While the infrastructure and faculty are decent, the lack of placements and internship opportunities might deter some students from considering BBA at CUK as a worthwhile investment.

Overall, while the programme has its strengths, the absence of placements and internship opportunities is a significant drawback. Students seeking a strong career path might want to consider alternative options. However, those interested in pursuing higher studies (MBA) or other certifications might still find the programme valuable.
