Short review of BMSCE

I chose to study at this University as it has received accreditations by the NBA (National Board of Accreditation) and has an experience of many years of imparting quality education. Furthermore, the Management Department was also approved as a research centre by VTU. For admission, I filled out the application form available on the website. I also had to enclose a demand draft of Rs 1000 along with the application form before sending it via post. The eligibility criteria for applying here was three/four year undergraduate degree and MAT scores

The MBA curriculum incorporates all the fundamental management topics such as essential function of management, managerial economics, accounting for managers, business communications etc. The curriculum has also helped me to learn how to apply management theories to solve business problems. The student faculty ratio is around 10 : 1 which is why our professors were able to interact with all of us personally. We usually had group discussions, case studies and presentations which helped me personally to gain a better understanding.

Internship at a recognised company was mandatory during the summer term. I completed my internship with the marketing team at Berger Paints and got to interact with a lot of people from the creative team, sales team to clients. Most internships are unpaid but some companies did offer stipend.

My College has a dedicated placement centre that maintains active connections and collaborations with employers and corporates from different industries. It also provides a lot of pre-placement training such as personal interview, analytical, quantitative, reasoning, mock tests, CV writing workshops and so on. Some of the companies that visited our campus during the placement season are Amazon, Adobe Systems, Infosys, Big Basket, Intel, KPMG, Sony India, Tata Group, Cognizant, Marcedes Benz, Deloitte, Google, Myntra etc. Average salary package offered was around 7 LPA to 15 LPA.

The fee for one year for my MBA program was around Rs 2.5 Lakh. I had to pay the amount in equal installments at the start of new semester. Financial assistance is provided by my university only on a need-basis. Candidates who require financial assistance or tuition fee waiver are required to send an application to the College Admissions Committee. Other than that, government of India sponsored scholarships are available for applicants.

We have our annual event BMSCE Utsav which gives us a chance to socialise with our fellow college mates as well as showcase our extracurricular skills. Many celebrity singers and artists also come to perform at our annual fest. Other than that, there are also a few clubs on campus like Photography Club, mountaineering club, NSS unit and so on.

I chose to stay at college hostel where I could meet new people, socialise and have fun with them after classes. My room on a twin sharing basis is in the girl's hostel in Block II. It is quite airy and spacious. The hostel also has a kitchen, visitor's lounge, reading room, dining room, and TV lounge room for residences in the first floor. There is also another lounge in the top floor with indoor games facilities.

There is no group discussion or personal interview round. Final selection is conducted based on the overall undergraduate marks and scores in MAT. When calculating the aggregate score at Undergraduate level, the marks obtained in any language based subjects is also taken into consideration.
