Entrance Preview

I took CAT , the score was 84.33 percentile. I was a mechanical engineer and was looking for opportunities which are sector specific and where i dont have to compete with B.Com or other graduates.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course was a mixture of general MBA where normal subjects of MBA like marketing , finance , accounts and operations are covered and electives were more focused on energy and infrastructure based. Like project finance , oil and gas accounting ,energy trade and risk management .

Internships Opportunities

Intership companies are mostly PSU's and other marketing based companies. There are consulting firms as well but they mostly prefer [revious work ex.

Placement Experience

2.5

In terms of placement college is quite average not much high but PSU's do visit college like GAIL,IOCL,BPCL and than there are other IT firms like Infosys,wipro,accenture but no much of big names.

College Events

3.5

College do have cultural fest CATALYST a forum for students to demonstrate their leadership and managerial temperament. Apart from that on university level there is FLARE which is the flagship event of PDPU. Also there is PIZZAZZ which is also a cultural plus technical fest.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes most of students do take Loans , scolarship is only for quota students and not for general ones as in my batch but in current seniors. I am not aware of college do provides fees for programs like ERP.

Exam Structure

Exams in SPM happens in like every one and half month as there is trimester system so mid semesters happens .Like in every 40 to 45 days which is something good as well as bad as its hard to learn and deliver that quickly so most of students does end up mugging.

One thing that needs to be approved as waterlogging during rainy season because water gets collected around the campus and it gets difficult for the students to move around comfortably, specially for hostel students
Sometimes the schedule can get tiring back-to-back classes in sessions
I feel there should be more space for students in campus during breaks. They can go sit and learn their.

everything you need to know about BKSPMS(gia)

Likes

the fee structure of the mba is very less compared to the other colleges
good classmates because people come from cmat and topppes only get admission
placements are good if you are satisfied with 6/7 lakhs a year

Dislikes

infrastructure of the campus is very poor
the faculties are average except one two, more from a teaching bg rather than corporate experience.
for me the average package is less, and some people also left by getting placed

Placement Experience:

good placements, avg is 6.5/7 ctc and in hand avg goes arounf 5 lpa, highest 17 lpa, lowest 4 lpa, median should be around 5 lpa, this is as per my batch(batch 23-25) it is similar in other batches and 80/90% students get placed easily if they are good and the placement cordinator also try to get the rest placed where the batch have achieves 100% almost every year. there are options after college if you dont get placement from college because it is core mba with subjects marketing finance and hr.
