What Students Say

Likes

Faculties knowledge and cooperation in the classes
Infrastructure is also good enough and classes are also comfortable
Course structure is also good, knowledgeable subjects are there

Dislikes

Academics criteria is not cooperative and too strict which make many students suffer during exams
Fees structure is also not appropriate according to ROI
Events are good but not that much happening.

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose this course as I've done a BBA in Finance and Banking and want to learn more about Finance in a professional course. Student-faculty ratio is good enough and teachers are very cooperative. All the faculty members are highly qualified and have a doctorate & their teaching method on average is good. In 3 months we're having term exams and it's so difficult to pass as they are given absolute marking.

Class Size: 75Course Fees: INR 1206000 per year

Internships Opportunities

For internships, ICICI Pru, Fin AtoZ, BNY Mellon, etc offer college internship opportunities with good stipends like 15k, 20k, and 35K respectively. Projects and outcomes are like training reports etc

Placement Experience

3.5

In the 3rd semester itself, the campus placements are started PWC, Deloitte, oracle, HDFC, ICICI PRU etc companies visited & many vacations were made The highest package this year is 12.6 national for finance The average package is 9 LPA for wealth management 90% of placements are there I plan to learn & gain more practical knowledge.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees are high as compare to their ROI I find the internship on my own as the college provides startup internships. They are helping students get internships, but the placement rate is lower than last year.

Campus Life

4.5

The fest is Parichay' 23 as freshers, art beat, and Manthan and they're doing these fests during December and Parichay in August. All the related books and journals are easily available in the library. Sports & extracurricular activities are happening on weekends on the campus Cultural club, CSR club, operations club, marketing club, Finance club, and many more run by students. I'm also the coordinator of the CSR & Cultural Club.

Admission

The admission process is in 2 rounds. The first one is the aptitude test after that GD & PI. The cut-off is good. They're accepting 75+ percentile for the IBSAT entrance exam. Eligibility is 65% in graduation. Anyone can find the application form on their official website The application fee is 1800 and the dates are from November to January. Improvement in the admission process is to be discussed more in GD & PI.

Interview Experience

4.5

My topic for GD was the Impact of globalization on the Indian economy. Interview questions were asked from me like hobbies, my introduction, achievements, and my skills. I didn't prepare for these rounds. I just read some latest news.

ISME: THIS IS ME !!

Course Curriculum Overview:

For jobs, it prepares you very well. You work through real case studies, Harvard business simulations, and a 4-to-6-month corporate internship, so you aren't completely clueless on day one at an office. If your goal is a PhD or pure research, though, it leans a bit too practical and corporate rather than deeply academic.

Infrastructure, facilities , diversity , good for networking and banglore is a corporate hub so it's getting easy for to experience corporate speakers.
