Course Curriculum Overview

5

Course curriculum is very rigorous. Insurance subjects are extras with the basic MBA subjects. Curriculum is well designed and you may have mostly a packed schedule. The course starts with ice breaking sessions, industry experts seminars and other things and we have a well designed orientation program for us as studeits very helpful in getting to know about what we are going to do in the next two years here at NIA. Teaching methods include presentations, case study discussions, informational videos, etc. Exams are every three months except the 3rd trimestwhich is the most hectic where exams are just in 2 months as we all head to start the internship. The curriculum prepares us very well from the basic insurance knowledge to the practical working in the industry what applies what skills are needed everything. Difficulty level is 'doable' its definitely tough managing the presentations, assignments and study but surely doable in the time we get. Its an amazing experience overall

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.

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.
