JAGSoMs continuous practice of developing students for the industry ready by conducting seminar's workshops etc
The work life balance that we have here. Even after rigorous academic we can get some time for ourselves

Dislikes

Mess food is sometimes pathetic. It's better to eat from outside those days

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

JAGSoM follows the case based study curriculum. These helps in interactive classroom session which help us to get real life industry knowledge. The curriculum is focused on making students holistic in nature and make them industry ready. Exams are conducted in every 3 months.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 1500000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Placement cell of JAGSoM assist in internship opportunity. We have 100% internship placement for atleast 3 months for the batch of 2022-2024. Alongside internship JAGSoM opens opportunity for live projects for the students.

Placement Experience

4.5

Students are eligible for the placement after 5th semester. We have dedicated placement cell ran by student committee as well as faculties incharge. Companies such as HDFC, Tiger analytics, Wow momos, etc have been on campus for hiring process. Our average package for the batch of 2021-2023 was 1350000/- with 100% placement rate.

Fees and Financial Aid

Total of 1500000/- tution fees I paid + 50000/- during registration for the foundation and external courses that college provides. This year the tution fees is going to increase by approximately 100000/- All other expenses such as mess, travelling to college, library, etc are covered in tution fees.

Campus Life

4.5

Our main festival is called as Kanyathon that is held in the month of February. We have library in college as well as in the hostel with more that 1000+ relevant books. Library is fully air-conditioned with ample amount of space for the students to study. Classroom have best facilities with centralized a/c, projectors, comfortable seating area.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel fees are included in the tution fees. Hostel rooms are very clean but not too spacious. Twice a week maid comes to clean the room Hostel has common bathroom area. Food quality is pretty decent, don't expect 5 star restaurant food.

Hostel Fee: INR 300000 per year

Admission

I applied to Welingkar business school, Mumbai but JAGSoM seems to be far better in terms of faculties and facilities. As it is the residential program so there is continuous interaction between the students which helps in overall development of students. We have 4 steps admission process, which includes Group Exercise, Personal Interview, Shoulder panel interview and JagMat exam

Faculty

We have faculties with high industry experience. Our faculty to students ratio is 1:20. Faculties here are so friendly that one can approach them at any point of the day to get guidance. There are total 6 terms + foundation term. We have tri-semester academic structure, where the exams are conducted in 3 months.

Interview Experience

4.5

Admission process was of 4 rounds. Begining with the JagMat exam which was aptitude test, followed by Group Exercise where 8 to 10 candidates have to work on one assignment then followed by Personal Interview and shoulder panel interview.

B-School of great choice in Bangalore

Likes

The college is usually focused on creating a transformative experience for the students. The students here get exposed to practical knowledge more than just theoretical knowledge in classes.
All the subjects include projects which is mandatory which makes the students to get real time experiences outside the college by meeting people outside college.
The students also get to work on a tight schedule throughout their MBA which is a great thing, there will always be something to keep us occupied like events, competitions and sessions which gives real world exposure to students

Dislikes

The college is strict in most of the aspects as they maintain high discipline all the time
Hostel closing time is at 9PM, so it's more restriction on students to go out and order food

Placement Experience:

The placements are good. The college has totally 6 semesters and after the 4th semester the students are eligible to attend the placements. The students need a minimum of 4.8/8.00 CGGA to sit in the placements The companies which visit here are - EY, KPMG, Mindsprint, Lowe's, Accenture, Tata Power, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Sabre, Oxane, Well's Fargo.

The average package here is 10.5LPA and most of the companies come for this range. The percentage of students getting placed is close to 95% as some of them don't clear the eligibility and some don't get placement event with good CGPA. Plans after getting degree is to join work and continue to learn

Practically 80% of my 2020 batch was given job offer by top recruiting organizations like Amazon, iGate, Accenture, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, DE Shaw & Co. Typically the average package they offered to people was around 3- 4 lakhs and the highest was way up to 10 lakhs. Our College possessed an active location cell that functioned hard to provide recruitment and other job opportunities to us.

For me it was strategic location of the college, the curriculum like PEP, personality enhancement program which prepares you for interviews and improves your personality just like an mba or pgdm person needs. I didn't get rejected from any college, my plan was to go abroad but because of some issues I had to drop to idea.
