Aniket Mitra's Review On University Of Burdwan - [BU], Bardhaman

The institute department of which I was a student is one of oldest Management Institute functional under an University in Eastern India. Very recently it has secured NAAC- A grade and has consistently scored good reviews in nirf ranking and have been featured as a best management institute in Eastern zone for 3 successive years by Business Review magazine.

The syllabus we followed in our MBA curriculum was updated to the latest and was in tune with the Industry requirements. By 2016 we were exposed to industrial internship program where students were taking a 60 day long industry immersion and learning about the processes of management and how decision not only takes a top down route but also a bottom up as well in terms of internal communication of feedback whether the decision has been well implemented and functional. The faculties at the institute is good. They have good number of research paper publications in various journals and at international level management associations. Prof Dr Gautam Mitra. Prof Dr Sushmita Banerjee, Prof Dr Partha Sarkar Prof Dr Tanmay Dasgupta.

The placement opportunities at the institute is average in terms of the companies coming to the campus. The IT giants are frequent takers while large FMCG or other companies are not big takers. Students find their placements mainly through off campus via different referrals & placing resumes through channels. The placement department has been active and need more assistance in terms of getting good companies to come down to the campus. Alumni network helps through getting proper referrals whereas that also need to be more assisted to have a good rapprt being established and maintained in time to come. There is a Entrepreneurship Cell attached to the Engineering department. But not in Management Institute.

The department hosts a number of seminars and talk events inviting industry personalities. However it needs to have more such number of occasions to be held to have a good reputation build up for the institute.

It is a sprawling campus with lush greenery everywhere. Having a good internet connectivity and better library facilities with modern Finance lab. There is a separate sports complex for the university. We also had clubs eg. Marketing club, HR club and finance club to focus on the respective trends on the industry of the following domain and to present a case study before the class on a regular basis.
