Remarks :

The admission process was quite smooth and easy. The eligibility criteria for getting through the admission process are: a) CAT score - generally the cut-off is 75%ile but it drops down depending upon the overall CAT difficulty level and score. b) 10th, 12th, and graduation scores are a must. The percentage has to be 60% and above. c) There was no GD conducted. It was a direct PI round for every shortlisted candidate which was conducted by professors of the institute. The application form, the entire fee structure, and the updated application dates notice are available on the college's official website. Improvement - The admission process should have involvement of the admission committee and students.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The reason behind choosing this particular course is that apart from the MUST subjects of a PGDM program it is also updated with the current trends in the field of education with inclusions of subjects such as Management Science Models and Business Analytics. Another reason for choosing this course is that it offers dual specialization. Our batch strength is 189 divided into 3 sections of 63 students in each section. They are overall 16 faculties and each section is run under 7 to 8 of these faculties. Every faculty is highly qualified and excels in teaching. the methods of teaching are quite student-oriented. It involves a lot of activities apart from presentations, quizzes for each subject, and exams. The term 1 exam was on time and the difficulty level was moderate. The 2nd mid-term exam had to be rescheduled and run a week late because of the summer placements process. But it was smoothly conducted as well and the difficulty level was a bit higher compared to term 1 exams.

Campus Life :

Life at campus is quite happening since it involves a lot of competition from all aspects such as academics, sports, etc. The campus celebrates almost every big occasion all within itself starting from Ganesh Chaturthi to Diwali to New Year. The library holds a huge variation starting from non-fictional self-help books to trending fictional books. Apart from that, it also has extra books suggested by our professors. And it is available in such quantity that at least half of the students can have access to it. The classrooms have a gallery setup and include two projectors and one large whiteboard for 60+ students. Sport is a major part. Almost every time the field is occupied by any group for football or cricket. It also has a volleyball and badminton court. Further, it has a swimming pool, pool table, and table tennis. A social group is Prayas which carries CSR works and there are also academic clubs like finance, HR club, etc., and alumni, placement, and PR media committees.

My hostel has double occupancy with inclusions in a room like a mirror, attached washroom, personal almirah, study table, and personal bookshelf. The meal quality turned out to be better than the normal hostel food. And the menu holds variations having food from every zone of the country having the south Indian dish Idli for breakfast on any one day of the week and Bengali dishes, north Indian dish rajma.

Interview Experience :

During our time of admission, there was no GD conducted. It was a direct PI round. The PI round included questions about myself. The interview questions were mostly based on my interest and hobbies. I had to be true to them and to myself regarding those. Questions were also asked from my core graduation stream. Also, questions were thrown based on my most interesting area of knowledge. My preparation for the PI round was not too drastic. I revised whatever I learned in my graduation which included Taxation, Microeconomics, Management Accounting, and Cost Accounting. I revisited the domain that I am interested in which is Personal Finance and Investment. Thereafter, I nurtured my communication skills by practicing basic HR questions with my friends.
