Remarks

When we went for the process the words of the founder late col. Balasubramaniam made me sure about the admission in this institute. His mantra of problems are opportunities made me choose this institute. Some of the other factors that I considered during my admission were Strict Curriculum, 100% Placement record, Events and Competitions held at the institute

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

We were shuffled within our classrooms every semester. We were a class of 60 students with a teacher teaching the subject. We had renowned people from the industry specialising in their field as our visiting faculties while had more than 100+ guest lecturers sharing their experience in the first year. We had a similar experience during our second year where the classes were held online. The college did focus on completing the curriculum as well as the teachers also motivated the students and tried to make the online classes engaging.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 900000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

Many of the internships offered were for a sales role. Companies like Whirlpool, OYO did visit the campus for offering internships as well as placements with a decent stipend.

Placement Experience

3.5

Balaji has a record of 100% placement which it maintains. Our batch being the worst hit because of the pandemic but still our college has been able to get many of us placed in renowned companies.The salary offered to our batch was low than expectations but as said it is alot as many companies were focusing on laying off their employees but balaji was able to get their students placed. More than 100 companies visited our college even though the pandemic gave a rough time to the industry.

Campus Life

4.5

We had a DJ party at every month end which helped us release our stress over the month. We even celebrated days like friendships day which is hardly a part of the adult life. Balaji being a 365 day college ensured that they made us feel at home at every festival and celebrated in a grand way. Every occassion was celebrated with all the rituals from Ganesh Sathpana to Visarjan to Navratri and Dandiya nights. We had inter college competitions held twice a year and the fest in the month of December is for almost 30days and you see a very different spirit in the college at that time.

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for campus placements from starting of the second year. The placements commence then and continue till everyone is placed. Being a young college, the placements are improving on a yearly basis with new companies being onboarded. The average package stands around 12-13LPA.

Remarks:

I had honestly applied in only a selected number of colleges, as I was doing really well in my coaching and was always among the top 2. Since, I was expecting a lot from myself, it created performance pressure and I went blank during the actual CAT examination. So SDA bocconi was among the top 2 options that I had. It is less than a decade old and has still managed to provide good placements. The most fascinating part is the entire semester in Bocconi,Milan which is the 21st best college in the world and 7th in Europe. I also spoke to many aluminis and hardly got to hear anything that will stop me from taking admission in SDA bocconi. Plus, the advantage of the college being in a city like Mumbai has it's own advantages.

Other than Balaji Institute of Modern Management, Pune, I have applied for Indira Institute of Management, Pune, Pune Institute of Business Management, FOSTIIMA, Delhi, Jaipuria Institute of Management which I rejected due to low ROI and Low Average placement. I haven't availed of any quota for admission. Admission criteria are based on various factors such as competitive exam scores any competitive exam such as CAT/CMAT/XAT/MAHCET is applicable, Graduation marks and extracurricular activities also hold weightage, GDPI process is the final barrier for admission. On counselling days, teams will be made and three rounds of writing ability, GD, PI. There are no minimum age or marks criteria for applying....Read More

NielsenIQ - The internship forever to cherish

The college had three definite processes for selection. 1. Document Verification - We are asked to submit our documents and after getting verified we are allowed to go for further steps for selection - I was assigned with a topic to write. Post that the seniors helped us to go for GD 3. GD - The students were grouped in number 10. Firstly, each student was given a separate topic to talk about. Just like an extempore. So, I was given the topic of Swach Bharat's talk for a minute. And after the completion of each student's extempore, a common topic was given for group discussion. The group discussion went for around 35 minutes. 4. Personal Interview - My personal interview was taken by the director of BITM himself. Very basic as well as subject-related questions were asked along with the preference to choose the institute between 4 institutes. The seniors throughout the process helped us and were very quick in scheduling everything back to back with around 65 to 70 students on the same day....Read More
