ANKUR BISWAS's Review On Balaji Institute Of Management And Human Resource Development - [BIMHRD], Pune

I cracked Dec-MAT 2009 and scored 92 percentile in that. I came to know about this college from a friend who was already studying there. She gave a positive feedback regarding the college, the faculty, the infrastructure & the placements which I found exactly the same, after joining the college.

They design the course very well & systematically. You will be given a basic exposure of all the management subjects inspite of what ever stream you have chosen. Initially they wont just start with your normal academic subjects. Starting 2-3 months, they will only gave you behavioural trainings, on-stage presentations, other management activities by experts.

Yes, they provide internship for almost all the industries in India. They have separate training & placement team which worked very hard to get all the companies in-line. Companies like Infosys, HCL, Tata, Vedanta, ITC, etc are some of the best among them.

In my batch of 2012, there was total 900 students altogether out of which approx 90% were placed through campus placements only. The college has a good track record of placing it's students, over the years and their alumnus are doing great in their respective field, presently.

Though the schedule of the college is hectic but as far as celebrating the events are concerned, they never back down from it. The college will provide you separate fund to celebrate each and every festivals for all the religions whether its Onam, Id, Dipawali, Christmas, Durga Puja or Holi. The college also conducted events like Fresher's party, Convocation, Alumni Meets, New Year Eve, Showing Cricket matches, etc.

The Fee structure is very flexible compared to other B-Schools. It is around 3.20 Lacs per annum for the course they offered. Its a two year Full Time course. The payments are done on instalments as below Rs. 49,000 immediately within 10 days from the date of declaration of the merit list. Rs. 1,76,000 within 30 days on receipt of the admission letter. Rs.95,000 to be remitted by the month of October.

No there is no scholarship / loan facility is offered by the college. You need to get an education loan (If req.) of your own. The college will provide any specific certificates required for the same, if required.

The college has a policy of intake of atleast 50% female students of the total strength of the college. Hence, the gender diversity in the college is 1:1 Male to female. The college is safe for females as the campus is highly secured and very disciplined. The college always promotes extracurricular activities like Sports, Debates, cultural activities, quiz, plays etc.

They have a separate group of alumnus and all alumnus are still connected who even passed out from the first batch of the college. They occasionally organised alumni meets in the college as well as various cities. The call their alumnus for a guest lecture sometimes also to interact with their students.

After getting 92 percentile in MAT, I applied for this college as they consider both MAT & CAT. Based on your score in MAT/CAT,10th, 12th & graduation scores, they shortlisted some students. I was among them. Then they will call you for a selection process of their own which includes Written Test, GD / Extempore & Interview. They conducted this selection process all over India.

One of the highlight of this college are its Faculties. The Dean himself is vastly experienced, knowledgeable & very disciplined. Similarly he chooses his faculties very precisely. All faculties know their subjects very well and know how to teach the same. They treat every students equally and teach as per their standards.
