Placements & Internships : All the major consulting, financial, FMCG companies come to campus. From McKinsey, BCG to JPMC, BAML to HUL, P&G. A number of marketing roles are also on offer from star recruiters like ITC, Star, Xiaomi, etc. With the boom in start up sphere in India, many of the unicorns like Flipkart, Uber, etc do come to campus. The average salary for a batch comes to around Rs 16-17 Lakhs per annum. The alumni network plays a very important role during the placements as they are the contact points between the college and the firm.

Academics & Faculty : Classes are from10 AM - 4.30 PM in the first year. In the 2nd year, we choose our own courses, and can choose the schedule. With regards to pedagogy, it is very up to date and the content of all the courses are relevant. The quality of teaching is high where the instructors motivate you to think beyond what is in the text. Since it is an MBA program, most of the learnings is through case-based teachings. The overall experience for me has been intellectually challenging, making me think. 

Fees & Scholarships : The fees for the 1st year is around Rs.9 lakhs per annum. There are scholarship options available for people belonging to the economically weaker sections of the society through the NBFA program. Many a banks set up shop during the induction and provide the students with loans with minimal paper work.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : There are 3 Boys Hostels and 2 Co-ed Hostels with all kinds of basic amenities. The mess charges are around Rs 6k per month. The food is good and healthy.
