There are so many clubs at UBS and it is compulsory for students to join at least one of the clubs. There are so many events conducted by these clubs, be it educational, technical, cultural fests such R4R, parties such as MSR (Midnight Sunrise), Octave, Freshers, etc. All the students participate in every event with great enthusiasm.

For the International MBA+PGDM Course (Cardiff), the tuition fees is Rs 10,98,000 for 2 years. I believe that it is quite feasible as two degrees are provided and one of them is from reputed international university. There are no additional fees charged during the admission in the course. Also the college provides a brochure which contains a proper breakdown of the fees infrastructure.

The college does provide scholarships. One of the most popular is that of Capital First Scholarship.

The gender ratio of boys: girls is 60:40. The students come from all over India. There are so many clubs in UBS and it compulsory for every student to join at least one club. Some of the clubs are UIC (UBS Innovation Club), Marketing Club, ELC, etc. ELC, that is, ExCoLearn Private Limited is a student-run private limited company that works for student development and ais a division of Experiential Learning Corporation. It gives an experience of corporate life to students. Over here I have received many opportunities for personal development as well as opportunities to communicate and network with great leaders.

The hostel facilities are great. There are AC rooms with a common living room, a small kitchen, and dining. It feels like home.

The alumni is very helpful. They are always available to us if we have any doubts and help us to resolve our queries. They also help a lot during the placement season, helping us with the Group Discussions and the interviews.

This course provided me two degrees. One of MBA from Cardiff Metropolitan University and another of PGDM approved by AICTE. I chose this institution because it provided me international exposure and world class education in my home country, it is situated in the lap of nature, is endorsed by Sixty CEOs, provided leadership lessons from top CEOs in India. The admission process is transparent and uncomplicated. A student has to go through two interviews, each taken by the faculty themselves.

There are around 22-25 lecturers, whole other departments for IT and Accounts. Each faculty member has a corporate experience and some of them are Ph.D. holders. All the faculty members are excellent teachers and are always there to help students solve any doubts. They gave us many case studies to solve which helped us in experiential learning and also helped in personality development such as the development of self-confidence through weekly presentations.
