Remarks

Good aspects: good internships from FMCG, technological giants, telecom, e-commerce companies as well as startups, with desired roles ranging from business development to sales and marketing interns with an eye on market research and digital marketing. Talented faculties who have hands-on experience in the corporate sector and a minimum job experience in the education sector of at least 5 years. Teachers who went out of their way to help students, career consulting to judge what is the career path most suited for you according to your interests. One of the best mentoring aspects is that a college alumnus who has been working in the corporate sector will guide you (1:1) so that you can work on your weakness and acquire new skills. Bad aspects: Zero holidays, overburdened with work, could not sleep for more than 4 hours per day since admission, negative impact on health. Admission process: Group Task, GD(Whether digital bank transaction a blessing or curse), PI reason: good placements.
