Anonymous's Review On Symbiosis Centre For Management And Human Resource Development - [SCMHRD], Pune

The faculties are well qualified and also the alumni network is an advantage for students since most of them are HR heads. The bad part is the transparency during the summer/final placement process. The entrance exam for the admission process is SNAP. Based on the SNAP score shortlist, the GD/PI rounds are conducted very smoothly and final admission is offered based on the cumulative score of the process. The SNAP is conducted in the month of December and GD/PI takes place in the month of February. The reason behind choosing this institution is its reputation. SCMHRD is renowned for its academic excellence as well as a good link in the industry. I strongly believe that having the right education at the right business school will provide me with open doors in order to succeed in my career. SCMHRD is one of the few b-school which provides an MBA in Business Analytics which was matching with my interest. I was following SCMHRD's official website while selecting the college.

In SCMHRD MBA-Business Analytics most of the subjects are taught by visiting faculties and they have a good amount of Industry experience. Studying the subject from experienced faculties brings real-world insights to the classroom. Faculty: student ratio - 1:7 Permanent faculties hold Ph.D. while visiting faculties have Master degree and relevant working experience Exams are divided into two parts - Internal & External. Internal exams include Mid Term exams, Class assignments, Class participation, Experiential Learnings. Internal exams are the part of the semester and students are evaluated throughout the semesters. However, External exams are conducted at the end of the semester and cover the entire syllabus. Exams are easy to pass if the student has listened to the class and has executed all the assignments properly.

Companies visited for Internships are: Ecolab, Vodafone Idea, Aditya Birla Group, BMW, Welspun, Capgemini, Schlumberger, Yes Bank, Lithion Power, RBL Bank Projects offered: Marketing Analytics, Supply chain Analytics, Sales Analytics, Business Analytics, HR Analytics, Analytics and Technology, Financial Analytics, Investment banking, Machine Learning, Predictive modeling, etc.

Aspect Ratio, Boston Scientific Others - Ecolab, Indigo Paints, Welspun Highest Package offered - 22 LPA, Average & Median - 14 LPA Percentage of a student getting placement - 95% After getting the degree I would like to work as a business analyst in a company in a mid-management position

The flagship program of 2 years full-time MBA has a fee of approximately 21.5 lacs including mess and hostel fees. The MBA Business Analytics program has a fee of approximately 17 lacs including mess and hostel fees. The MBA IDM program has a fee of approximately 14.8 lacs including mess and hostel. The fees are slightly on the higher side but the return on investment is worth it. I have not yet received any Scholarship from the college.

Annual Fest - NEEV (Cultural Program & Competitions) conducted in the month of December-January. So far I did not get a chance to visit the library physically due to Covid but Online Library provides all the required books and Journals. Sports & Extra Curricular activities take place from time to time. Due to Covid, it is happening virtually. All the video games, competitions, Challenges are being conducted by different committees. There are around 15 committees and clubs that are managed by students themselves that take care of various events like Techfest, guest lectures, and various cultural celebrations.

Interview questions were - Introduction, Why MBA, Which this course, About my work experience, my strength, and weakness, current affairs, and a short case study. The process was - SNAP Exam, Shortlisting, Technical Ability Test (TAT), Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion, Personal Interview I prepared through a coaching institute. They conducted mock interviews for me.
