Good to study, but poor coordination and placement support.
Placements: Poor placement support. Mostly finance companies come and that too for sales roles and the college brags that it offers all specializations. High level of politics in placements and the placement committee is only concerned in fulfilling their targets. The highest salary was 12 L but that too the student has worked by herself. However, the college ensures that every student gets an internship. I don't blame the college but they really need to collaborate with external agencies to improve.
Infrastructure: No proper computer lab facilities, classrooms are good and comfortable, the hostel is available nearby and food is Jain. College celebrates sports and annual day. Librarian is a moron he does not respect for students and all students are disappointed. However, management journals and newspapers are available free.
Faculty: Teachers are good. But good teachers are not satisfied with the college and leaving out. The course curriculum is well designed by GTU but in this college more focus is only on passing exams. More practical learning should be part of MBA syllabus. IT-based learning is required.
Other: I wanted to study MBA marketing and supply chain.
