Varun Balakrishnan's Review On Universal AI University, Karjat

Overall i would say i took the wrong decision of joining this college, should have waited for another year to make a better decision.

XAT chose this college since they had an 1yr MBA program got a score of 74% UBS marketed their college really well and i fell into the trap.

It was intense and pretty good the curriculum was the same as that of ISB or Great lakes(GLIM) it was designed pretty well and the course was hectic from Day1.

LG had come to take in a few sales students and a stipend of 7k was offered they had to miss classes to work for LG over 3 months other than LG no one showed up, the students had to get their own internships.

Pretty bad only a handful of companies came like Decathlon who offered a mere 25k package even for students who had 3 yrs exp in Infosys like myself.

Karjat is a very small town in the outskirts of Bombay, hence not too many colleges are around. UBS does have its yearly Rush 4 Rush cultural event which is usually attended by just one other Marine school.

Fee is affordable but they quote a higher amount for what is offered and payment of fees is poorly managed by the management of the college the rooms are pretty expensive.

They did offer a scholarship of an elegible student while joining the college it was waived off from the fee no loan facility was offered by the college.

Hostel life was the most fun part of the college, true with most colleges we had tons of parties almost every week we did have workshops and debate presentations and quiz competitions.

Hostel was pretty compact and decent per say mess food was awful at times and was very sub standard for most days of the year, cleanliness was a massive problem.

Alumni is almost non-existent and hardly anyone is in touch with their peers purely cos of the lack of trust with the college and the dissappoinment of not getting any good placements.

Like the course we had regular tests, assignments and exams which was pretty hectic but students do get the time to relax themselves in the weekends.

Except a few who had exp teaching in top colleges in India and abroad others were sub standard and hardly any idea how a course should be taught. U cant directly mix work experience and MBA school, which they did.
