Remarks

It is very good and I do not agree about the negative comments about our college. People are just spreading false rumours and accusations. We have a really good college and no one is forced to do anything they are uncomfortable with.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

We have Internal and External examinations. Internals continue throughout the semester and External are at the end. Our course structure is also very diverse and allows us to have dual specializations.

Placement Experience

4.5

Our college has 99 to 100% placements and that is very good for an under graduation course. Average packages are 3.5 lakhs. The highest domestic are up to 8 lakhs and the highest international placement is 17.5 lakhs.

College Events

We have many college activities and have 13 clubs. We also participate in inter-college fests and we have SYMPULSE which is the biggest college fest in India. We have a lot going on in the extracurricular exams.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees are high around 1.37 lakhs per semester with additional hostel fees. It is definitely very expensive and the college does not provide as many scholarships as it should. The scholarship is for the toppers.

Fees and Financial Aid

The only scholarship given is to the topper of the first semester. And it covers only about 10% or 50% of the next semester. Though I do not remember the exact policy and loopholes which our college follows.

Campus Life

Very good indeed. As I mentioned earlier we have 13 clubs and all festivities are celebrated nicely. We have a computer lab, library and reading room. We also have a game room and the sports council is in charge of the sport.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Hostel fees are 150,000 per year. As our course is 3 years we have to pay accordingly. The infrastructure is very good. We have gardens and games. All festivals are also celebrated in our hostel with a DJ and party.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Our alumni network is very good and we have an alumni cell that keeps in touch with them and every year at impulse, all the alumni are invited for a get-together and meeting. We have a good reputation.

Admission

I had to fill out a form for the entrance exam and pay for the admissions form. Then choose the city as a centre for entrance. I then cleared the SET exams and got an offer letter for Pi-Wat. Then I gave my written test and personal interview and got admission after clearing all 3 stages.

Faculty

The faculty is very good and most of them gave PHDs. They are experienced and very helpful. They give us experiential learning class for solving our doubts and also help a lot with our projects and exams.

Proud to be a part of claras college

Likes

The faculty members are highly qualified, approachable, and always willing to help with academic or research projects.
The campus infrastructure is excellent, featuring modern labs, a well-stocked library, and great sports facilities.
Placement opportunities are robust, with many top-tier companies visiting the campus for recruitment every year.

Dislikes

The hostel mess food lacks variety and quality, which is a frequent concern among resident students.
The placement department needs improvement as more core internship and job opportunities could be provided for undergraduate finance and BMS students
There is a lack of student-accessible Wi-Fi facilities across the campus premises, which makes online research difficult during college hours.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) course primarily due to its highly comprehensive coverage of core business aspects specially human resources. The curriculum is well-structured to offer a deep understanding of corporate administration and strategic management, which strongly influenced my decision to enroll. Regarding the examination structure, semester exams are conducted systematically every six months, with internal assessments, assignments, and class presentations spread across the term. The timing is generally manageable, and the difficulty level ranges from moderate to high, effectively testing a student's analytical thinking and problem-solving capabilities rather than just memory recall.

Symbiosis: a zig zag experience

I chose Symbiosis because it offered International Business which is of my keen interest. When I contacted other colleges and enquired about this course, they said they don't have this course or some said "we're not sure". I mean how can they be not sure of their own curriculum? And I applied only to SYMBIOSIS. Now I'm in my final year and dual specializing in International Business and Marketing. For the admission process, firstly fill the application form and then they'll also conduct a mock test when main entrance exam is around a month away or smtg. And then Symbiosis Entrance EXAM (SET EXAM) happens. After qualifying that,the student is shortlisted to WAT (written assessment test). It's like an essay writing test, you will be given a topic and 20mins of time. Lastly it's the PI (personal interview) and then merit list or not depends on student performance....Read More
