    Placement committee is helpful and opportunities are also good.
    Placements: Till now, few companies have visited the campus like Uber, Google, Microsoft, BNY, and Expedia and all of them have offered internships to 3rd year students. Approximately, with the same stipend is around 1 LPA and more companies are set to come because this was just the first month of the season, and long way to go ahead.
    Infrastructure: There is a sports club which organizes sports competitions in which anyone can participate, and they don't need to be professionals.
    Faculty: Faculty members are good, especially in Software, and they have a deep knowledge of the subjects they teach. They allow students to communicate and encourage them very firmly to participate in the class which we really like about them. Exams are relatively on the easier side but branches like Electrical, ECE, and Mechanical are on the tougher side because they are core subjects.
    Other: We have an annual fest called Abhudaya, which is decent. We have other fests, including both inter and intra-college. There are DJ nights and festival celebrations like Diwali, Onam, Ganapati puja, etc. A lot of clubs and committees are there in which students can apply as per their interests. They get chances to perform and come out of their comfort zone.

    Best facility providing MBA college.
    Placements: The college placements are good but the packages are low. The average package offered is 2.5 Lacs and the highest is 11 Lacs. Accenture, Genpact, EXL, etc. hire many students. Accenture hires for test analyst profile, Genpact for business analyst, and EXL for consultant profile. Mostly Tech companies recruit students. 70% students got placed in our batch, but the internships are very low with most of them being unpaid and useless.
    Infrastructure: The University infrastructure is modern having the latest technologies. The classrooms, benches, and library all are modern in design, the benches are colorful. Wi-Fi is available but it’s speed is less. Hostel facilities are provided in the college campus having a bed, a cupboard and a table for the students in sharing rooms. Washrooms are cleaned time to time. Both indoor and outdoor sports are played.
    Faculty: The teachers are good but mostly English is used for teaching. There are 9 members for our branch of 50 students keeping an eye on each student. The teachers are funny, they crack jokes during the teaching so we do not feel bored in the lectures. The course curriculum mainly makes us an analyst in all analysis tools which are in the syllabus like advance excel, Tableau, power Bi, etc. The semester exams are for a total 100 marks, 70/30 is the pattern of the University. Exams difficulty level is medium.
    Other: College campus and facilities are very good.

    The best college of my life and career.
    Placements: The placement offered by our college is so good, as in the last semester students are eligible for placement opportunity as many of the top-reputed companies in the world visited our college for placement, some of which are Infosys, Infotech, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, etc. As there were 150+ companies visiting our college for placement activities, the students were getting a higher position in the reputed company with an average package of 9 lacs, with the highest going to 25 lacs per annum .
    Infrastructure: The hostel facility of our college is so good, as we have a secure hostel campus where no one can enter or go out without the permission of hostel staff. The rooms of our hostel are also good, as every student has their own personal room. The room has decent facilities to live in, as we have a mess facility, and we also get healthy and hygienic food to eat.
    Faculty: The course of MBA is so good as I obtained it because I am in the commerce field. Our college has the best teaching environment because of our teacher, who is so polite and humble. Also, if I talk about the qualifications of teachers, all the faculty are well experienced in there field, as some are Ph.D. holders. Also, at the end of every semester, we have our examination .

    Very best faculty is provided by the college.
    Placements: Bajaj, ICICI Bank, etc. companies come for the placement. The highest package is up to 10 lacs, and the average package is 2 lacs. 50% of students get jobs through placement. I also got placed in ICICI Bank but I did not like that, so I didn't join it.
    Infrastructure: The hostel infrastructure is very nicely designed and the rooms are well maintained. The hostel rooms are equipped with good-quality beds, almirahs, and study tables. The hostel mess food is good and properly cooked. The hostel's security is very good and strict. The wardens are friendly and behave in a well-mannered way. The hostel has 24 hours of water and power supply. Hostel Fee: INR 35,000 per year.
    Faculty: The course is really to the point and mostly they are all more concerned with practical exposure than theoretical knowledge. I chose finance as my core specialisation as I am from a CA background, and I really love to analyze data. Excel is my cup of tea, and I also love doing work in Excel and other Microsoft Office.

    The college provides all the facilities for their students.
    Placements: The placement of the college is good as there are numerous numbers of companies coming in for recruitment every year along the hour for different profiles and different positions. The recruiting companies are Deloitte, Verity, Protiviti, and Berkadia. 98% of the entire batch gets placed, and the rest is chosen for further studies.
    Infrastructure: The hostel facility is good as far as the feels are concerned but I think more hostels should be made on the campus as there are many students who have not gotten admission to any hostel. They are staying outside the campus in PGs and their cost of living is not as low as it is in Pune. There is only one mess in the hostel and the quality of the food is average. We get non-vegetarian meals once a week. But it is good, as mess charges are not so high. One full late meal costs you? 40 and it is more than sufficient. The locality outside is urban and IT-oriented. So many students have to live 5 km away from the university to get a good PG. But transportation is very good. Hostel Fee: INR 6,000 per year.
    Faculty: I chose this course for a master's degree and to enhance my knowledge and skills in the corporate sector. Faculty are about 30 for a particular department and are assigned to all subjects. Qualified faculty members are present with doctorate and professor degrees. Teaching methods are very impactful on students, and they are great for any student. Term exams are two times, and midterms are two times, for a total of four times a year. It is not very difficult about the exam if you have studied well. Class size;-55 The course costs INR 405000 per year.

My plans after getting a degree are to work in a very good MNC work for a decent number of years gaining proper experience in the corporate world then I would like to start my own business.
    Infrastructure: The Hostel rooms are neat. Twin-sharing facilities are available. Students will have their own B.Ed almirah, study table, and bookshelf inside the room. Rooms also have AC gaser and a 24*7 water supply. Students are mandated to stay in the campus hostel. The hostel food is also moderate and the menu keeps on changing to overcome boredom. As the college is in the southern part of the country hence is a bit of inclination of the menu towards the southern side. Hostel Fee: INR 120000 per year.
    Faculty: MBA intrigued me very much which is why I chose this course The course curriculum is like First Year: Core courses covering fundamentals of management like finance, marketing, human resources, operations, and strategy.
