What Students Say

Likes

Crowd is from diverse backgrounds and smart. Overall the crowd is nice
Curriculum is well designed and they have a stable timetable for both years
All the professors have phD degree and have relevant experience in their field.

Dislikes

75% attendance is mandetory. Even if you're sick, you have to submit your medical certificate.
Placements are a bit disappointing according to the fees paid.
Fees charged for 2 years is too high when compared to same category colleges.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is fine but some irrelevant topics are also taught. Apart from that alot of field visits and industrial visits are also organised by faculties. Some masterclass are also organised where skill development is possible.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 1000000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Total fees for the course is 20 lakhs for 2 years. Year wise fee is 10 lakhs. Reservation fees is unknown but they do have provisions for reserved category. Scholarships upto 16 lakhs is available for grabbing which, in our batch was given to only 2 students with excellent profile.

Campus Life

Infrastructure is great when compared to the colleges of same tier. It is the only college in this tier which provides the Bloomberg lab. Sports and extracurricular activities are also given very much importance.

Admission

The admission process was just like other colleges. I appeared for CAT and then received a call for the interview. Once the interview was done, I was selected as per the merit list. As for the comparison, location played a major part in my selection as I'm from Mumbai.

Faculty

Faculties are all very approachable and helpful whenever needed. Faculty ratio is 1:10 and all of them are friendly. Exams are pretty easy to handle and teachers usually help with the doubts. Total 6 exams are there in 2 years.

Night Life

A lot of places to hangout are there near the college as it is in the heart of Mumbai. Various clubs, gyms, cafeteria, food joints are available. The campus is pretty big and beautiful so the nightlife is kind of good but not top notch.

Review of RICS MBA CPM

Likes

we had smart classrooms and beautiful public library. the college infrastructure was modern with touch of historical blend. I was staying off campus, hence could not experience the hostel life. However we did enjoy all the sports facilities.
The faculties for RICS where mostly Doctorate holders while some were experienced veterans
the Boy to girl ratios was 60% to 40%. we are supposed to where business formals to every class and our classes often has projects and application based problems, which was very much linked to the real world.

Placement Experience:

we have 100% placements, when the year i passed i.e., 2022. basis what i have gathered, 2026 passout batch also have more than 95% placements, while the remaining students are still under the process of interviews

Honest Review

Likes

Infrastructures of the college are good.
Facilities provided by the college are good.
The placements and the companies visiting are good.

Dislikes

I disliked the social life of the college.
I disliked the fact that the college did not organize anything such as festivals or functions during our academic year.
I disliked the food in the college campus.

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:

We learned a lot from the curriculum and the college itself. My journey was a mixed bag of feelings with many sweet and sour moments. The classroom sessions were fun and so were the field visits and management activities like webinars or mock marketing competitions.

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.
