Remarks

There's kinda politics and partiality goes on but you can't avoid it as it happens everywhere.

Entrance Preview

It was one of the best in Karnataka and it was oldest as well with very cost effective fees and I learned that lecturers are resourceful which turned out to be true with decent infrastructure facilities. You can opt-in this college if you are okay with not getting placed in a campus.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Curriculum is very Outdated, But basics are covered. there will be alot of Assignments and project based learning which will help you have a practical perspective of understanding the concept. It's CBCS- Choice based Credit system where you can choose any subject you want unless you fulfil your minimum credits.its an interesting system which is very favourable to students.

Internships Opportunities

No, But it allows you to take internship and it's mandatory actually, for 2nd semester and 4th semester. Stipend ranges from unpaid to 5k.

Placement Experience

3

Institute doesn't get alot of good recruiters but you can go attend interviews in other colleges of Hubli Dharwad district and it's mutual so that's a good thing, apart from that College has huge Alumni network as it is one of the oldest MBA college so that helps

College Events

4

SAMAR is a sport event Initially there will be orientation events which ranges between 1-5 days Then a Fest called Kshitij Then Darpan is one of the biggest event where all the alumni meets and it's a platform where Students meet alumni. Then Samarpan it's nothing but a Send off party

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees structure is one of the cheapest in Karnataka. It doesn't even cost 1Lakh including all the expenses if you get hostel. Scholarships are also available to some extent. Overall a very cost effective college to be frank where any kinda aspirants can earn an MBA

Fees and Financial Aid

No such facility as it's a government college but Loan could be taken from any bank feasible for you.

Campus Life

1.5

Gender Ratio is equal, Campus life is lovely if everyone gets along. Sports events ar held once an year so not alot of scope there but if you really are passionate university can make a way for you. labs are not good enough and library too isn't very good. But university library is very nearby and can access very easily. Competitions are rarely held.

Hostel Facilities

4

College food is covered in Management fees which is totally transparent and quality is good enough for the money paid. Hostel facility is alotted category wise so that would be a Con and you need to buy food if you are not in college I meant to say hostel doesn't have mess facility

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is very strong it depends on students to take use of it, but if taken use correctly it can build your career.

Admission

First Document Verification of You Degree Marks card and Degree Completion Certificate with ID proofs. Application Fees. Then fill the applications Deposit the PGCET fees of 25K it depends on the Caste and category with it will eventually be refunded but takes time Then college fees with management fees which will cover food book and uniforms.

Faculty

3.5

Few Faculties are very Resourceful and they cover most of the subjects so that's the plus point. If you are lucky enough you will get good teaching Fellowship students who will be doing Ph.D. under the Assistant Lecturers. Then there are few lecturers who you can't take seriously too.. learn accordingly.

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.
