Course Curriculum Overview

I am very much satisfied with the course curriculum. We read about general media management and relations management. Our curriculum was entirely from managerial perspective with media management being our specialisation. We learned about clients management, customer acquisition/retention, etc.

Placement Experience

Many of my batch mates got placed in companies like Oxford University Press, CNBC, NDTV, Star and many leading media firms. The packages which were offered to the students vary depending upon the profile. Average package drawn from our course was around 4 LPA.

College Events

4.5

Freshers and farewell were an elemental part of our calendar at YMCA. Students are expected to take part in activities to contest for Mr. and Mrs. Freshers which was pretty much fun. Vivid, Umang, Ability Utsav were some of other events celebrated in the campus.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Our total program fee was around 1.1 lacs. Our institute was flexible in terms of fee structure. Students can pay the fee in three instalments or five instalments as per their choice. Our college also award meritorious students for excelling in academics.

Campus Life

4.5

Classrooms are well furnished and digitized. Entire campus was air conditioned and wi-fi enabled. All the facilities offered to the students are pretty great and the entire staff was quite accommodating. Cultural and gender diversity was another distinct feature of our institute which enabled the flow of diverse viewpoints.

Admission

Students have to purchase prospectus along with the application form, from the college by paying the prospectus fee. Then students have to appear for the entrance exam. entrance exam was pretty basic and they notified me that I have to appear for the counseling round. Entire selection process was pretty hectic.

The companies coming for internships are great
The experienced faculty who came from IIMs
The experienced clubs and their guidance

Dislikes

There is bit of mismanagement experienced,
There is last minute information available at the end moment
Disclarity in information throughout the whole semester

Placement Experience:

It is okay and it is based on luck of the student more than hardwork. You also have to network super well to get into good dream companies. It is a good place to get it out of luck through ATS sysytem.

One of the strongest aspects of the institute is the faculty and the academic environment. Frequently members are generally experienced and approachable.
The teaching methodology includes case studies, presentation, group, assignments, group, discussions, projects, and practical assignments.
Another positive aspect is the exposure to corporate and professional life.

Placement Experience:

Lbsim has a structured campus placement process with participation from companies across sectors, such as consulting FMCG, IT/ITES , BFSI, marketing and operations. The institute provides students with placement preparation through aptitude test, mock interview interviews, group discussion, resume, building and corporate interaction.

LBSIM- In depth review

Likes

We have well maintained library with more than 40000 books and documents, there are study cabins and all facilities required to have a productive day
There ample opportunites provided to students to amp up their game. The clubs and societies themselves take initiative to provide certifications to students, more than case comps are floated and students are encouraged to take part in them
The level of discipline and commitment expected of us is very similar to the other top MBA colleges, multiple assignments, deadlines, case submissions etc. The curriculum also requires students to make use of resources like Bloomberg and prowess.

Dislikes

The quality of cohort can be better. The quality is deteriorating from the senior batch to the juniors
Not being a residential insititute is a big challenge, as the load of work is the same as any residential insitute but most students also have additional buden of travelling which becomes very taxing in the long run.
There is some level of politics that goes on in student societies which can become toxic sometimes.

Placement Experience:

The college actively provides placement support, students are eligible for placements from the first trimester itself. Last year more than 150 companies took part in the placement process. The highest offer made was 24 LPA and the average was 12.32 LPA. 99% of the 2026-2028 batch got placed by April 2026.

YMCA- An excellent choice, only if you study

I was passionate about film making and found YMCA offering the right course with great practical exposure. The admission process starts in May- June. Your course batch starts in the first week of July. The Institute had great alumni under its umbrella and really experienced and wise faculty members. That's why I chose YMCA over other Universities....Read More

Best Diploma Program

The YMCA institute conducts its own entrance exam in order to grant admission to the postgraduate programs. I appeared for the entrance exam and ultimately got shortlisted for the next round. After the counseling round, I presented all my documents and paid the fee. I was looking for a diploma in digital marketing and ended up on this course and the media management curriculum was an added plus to what I was looking for....Read More
