The washrooms are clogged and stink The class rooms resemble that of a Coaching Centre and not of a Business School. The Computers are dated and most of them need urgent replacement There is just one class that is shown on the website that looks like a proper business school class.. others don't.
Nothing beyond regular academics is given. The way you were at the start of the course.. you are the same at the end of it. No skill development takes place No personality development takes place A few professors go out of their way to give you hands on experience but the rest just focus on completion of the curriculum
The placement team is a very strong one.. I comprises of not 1 not 2 but 3 people!!! Yes 3 People are delegated the responsibility of placing 240 students The placement team should be responsible of making the college known to the corporate world There it seems they are concerned only with applying for things online
The campus life is okay... They give you opportunities to participate
The Institute is tall claims with no real outcomes... They ensure you will get a good placement but the reality is they aren't taking enough efforts to get their students placed
Dear Karan,
Your query brings out the comparison among the three colleges you have mentioned. All three colleges are unique in their own way. Now the solution to this lies in what exactly are you looking for. For instance, campus life, placements, social and cultural events alongside an engaging and practical curriculum, etc.
If we talk about RIIMS which is situated in Pune has its own pros like maximum number of students get placed every year and offers high Return on Investment. While Athena which is situated at the corporate hub of Mumbai, has been awarded the best upcoming management institute in the year 2017 by International Education awards. Coming to DSIMS that is Durgadevi Saraf institute of management studies, the placements and faculty management is average.
So now you have RIIMS, Pune and Athena Mumbai to choose from. A per what i have analysed, it is better to opt for Athena which is located in the corporate environment in Mumbai that will give the exposure you will need in future before joining the corporate industry unlike RIIMS which is located in outskirts.
Hey!
Durgadevi Saraf institute of Management studies, Mumbai is a very well- known institute for MBA and other management courses. It provides good placements, good infrastructure and impressive faculty members. the course is well - structured and the atmosphere is quite good.
Hope this answer helps!
