Entrance Preview

All the students can get admission by being eligible for the course with minimum 50percent marks in class 10th, class 12th and graduation. Students from any stream in graduation can apply for the programme. A student also needs to submit the entrance marks of cat, mat, xat, snap etc. to be able to get the admission. Seats are offered on the first come first serve basis.

Internships Opportunities

All the students are placed in companies at the end of the second semester as an intern in the company. Students can select the field of the internship as per their choice / interest and can inform the college management about it before the interview process starts. The students will get extra credits at the end of the semester as per their performance in the internship, project and presentation.

Placement Experience

Students are encouraged to start their own ventures in the college itself and are offered any kind of help possible by the college. They are given help in advertising, human resources and helping them connect with the right investors and lawyers and also help them get their venture registered. The college act as an incubator for these ventures. Other students apply for the placements in the company as a regular process and the management keeps an active check on it too.

College Events

4.5

Apart from the major placement week event, the college organizes a lot of cultural, technical and management events for all the students. We were allowed to form our own team to take participate in the event and also were allowed to invite outsiders in the college. We were also given extra passes to invite our friends and family. The events were organized at a very large scale including a lot of resources and operations.

Campus Life

The campus has a very well-equipped auditorium with LED projectors and screens for panel discussions, conferences, meetings, seminars and gatherings. The college also has a meditation room where students can concentrate and work on harmonizing their mind and de-stress themselves. The canteen area provides the most vibrant atmosphere to students and encourage them to improve their interpersonal skills and enjoy the amazing food prepared by the amazing chefs hired by the college.

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.

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.
