Career Enriching Experience

I gave the admission test conducted by the college itself for getting into the MBA course. I could have joined the other available courses of management into International marketing etc, however was inclined to do the general management course.

The course structure was apt & relevant to the management category. Amity University follows a uniform standardized curriculum for all the management related courses in each & every center of the institution. The courses material is though provided by the college, however we had always taken the help of the reference material for getting better insights into the respective subjects.

Generally, the practice of internship is not provided by the college. However, some students were internally placed in the HR department of the college post the completion of the course. Remuneration package of the placed candidates was meager though.

Placement was satisfactory, the corporate resource committee of the college took feasible initiatives to invite the organizations & conduct the placement.Some known corporate including HDFC bank, Spencers, IDC, Reliance Money came to the college for their recruitment initiatives.

The events that were organized in the college may be listed as follows: -Induction program an official get-together of the new entrants -Freshers party organized by the senior students for the upcoming students in the management cadre. - Annual Fest organized by the institution which included fashion show, talent hunt & other cultural programs collectively performed by all the students of amity.

The fee structure was quite expensive as compared to the other contemporary management colleges in the vicinity. Course fee for the entire program was Rs. 3.2 lacs during that period.& it was a bit costlier as compared to the other colleges. However, faculty, infrastructure & placement may somehow justify the fee-structure.

The provision of scholarship was not available, however the assistance for getting education loan from the banking institutions was duly provided by the colleges. The college admission committee fully assisted the students post the clearance of the entrance examinations to avail the loan facility from their banking partners.

Campus life was fun all the more, a two- years delightful & learning experience that will last for life. The gender ratio was fairly balanced, girls were justifiably present in all the enrollment programs of the institutions that just not relate to the management category. Extracurricular activities were not rampant though, however group discussions & presentations on case studies was observed during the lecture sessions in the class rooms itself. Net lab was therein the premises that offered free internet facility & facility of printing copy materials as & when required.

Though I was a localize, so did not opted for the hostel facility & mess facility therein. However, many of my friends were hostel residents & have frequented the premises on a regular basis. The rooms allotted to the students were spacious, neat, airy & equipped with the essential properties like wardrobe etc. Fooding was good enough, hygienic & well served to the inmates.

Alumni network is not yet maintained by the college, however an initiative in the respect was recently triggered wherein all the pass outs were called upon for a meeting session in Lucknow. Although the need of such practices & a comprehensive alumni network is incremental for boosting the placement process of the institution.

Exam structure was conducive to the management program. The course comprised of eighth semesters which were evenly divided during the two year duration. Unit exam was marked off with 20 marks & the end semester exam for 60 marks while the rest of the marks was proportionate to the assignments, presentations & the group activity of the said subject. The exam structure was justified & not a hectic affair.

The admission test comprised the written examination featuring the questions of English, reasoning & general awareness most of all. Followed by a personal interview with the admission committee of the college. The exam was simple with the generic questions of the respective fields.

Faculty was amiable, cooperative & well-experienced to handle the professional course & strength of the graduate students. Lecturers were prompt in taking sessions, imparting presentations & briefing on the modes of handling case studies. Always willing to go a step ahead in helping out the students.
