Entrance Preview

I took CAT, 97 percentile One of the oldest B school with exchange collaboration with ESSCA France Very reasonable fees structure.

Course Curriculum Overview

Lots of practical assignments. Did Saturday group work in real world situation, very useful in implementing what we have learnt. Did marketing as major elective with Operations as minor. Able to learn business as a whole with marketing tactics to survive it.

Internships Opportunities

I conducted internship in family business itself Got an opportunity to apply learning in business and understand difficulties. Which further helped me to be more focused in second year of studies.

Placement Experience

3.5

More than 50% of the candidates got pre placement offers. Rest got placed by the end of session. Few were still left which later got placed within span of one to two months. Package offered were average considering norms of B school.Myself didn't opted for placement as business was in blood.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Very feasible. Rs. 25 to 30 thousand per trimester. Hostel fees was sperate around 15 thousand for yearOne of my criteria for college selectionNo extra fees was charged for exchange programme

Alumni/Alumna

Most of the old students had strong bonding with the college. Lots of local alumni visit college in different occasion. Got help from alumni even after passing out. Can say good bonding.

Exam Structure

It was trimester system. So as soon as we finish one exam time flew and time for next exam comes. Lots of case studies in between.Was a bit hectic but manageable.

Faculty

Excellent faculty with good experience of subject College conducts lots of guest lectures of working ceo and various departmental head having good experience was very useful in establishing confidence by knowing real world experience of them.

Review of RICS MBA CPM

Likes

we had smart classrooms and beautiful public library. the college infrastructure was modern with touch of historical blend. I was staying off campus, hence could not experience the hostel life. However we did enjoy all the sports facilities.
The faculties for RICS where mostly Doctorate holders while some were experienced veterans
the Boy to girl ratios was 60% to 40%. we are supposed to where business formals to every class and our classes often has projects and application based problems, which was very much linked to the real world.

Placement Experience:

we have 100% placements, when the year i passed i.e., 2022. basis what i have gathered, 2026 passout batch also have more than 95% placements, while the remaining students are still under the process of interviews

Honest Review

Likes

Infrastructures of the college are good.
Facilities provided by the college are good.
The placements and the companies visiting are good.

Dislikes

I disliked the social life of the college.
I disliked the fact that the college did not organize anything such as festivals or functions during our academic year.
I disliked the food in the college campus.

Placement Experience:

The placements depend upon which Specialization you're in. If you're a marketing student there will be lots of good companies coming in for placements followed by finance and then HR. You become eligible for placement from 3rd semester. Companies such as Deloitte, PWC, TCS, HCL, etc. visit the campus for placements and offer a good amount of Packages.

My College Review

Remarks:

We learned a lot from the curriculum and the college itself. My journey was a mixed bag of feelings with many sweet and sour moments. The classroom sessions were fun and so were the field visits and management activities like webinars or mock marketing competitions.

college journey

Remarks:

College is almost good .this for those who want only masters but no placement .if you also want to get placed in any company need only degree ur welcome. The management is worst the nonteaching staff doesn't know how to talk with students especially the admission office. I here declare whatever I have seen and suffered I presented my view about this college to you, not it's your choice to go to heaven like symbiosis or choose hell. I was misguided and helpless so I came here means I got fewer marks in a snap so please students appear for snap sincerely.
