Hello Sumedh,

See it depends upon company to company. If you got a sponsorship from a company who already have their college then you have to go to theirs college this type of companies are Anglo Eastern, Great Eastern etc. But if you're getting sponsorship from a company who doesn't have it's own College then you have to go for the counselling of IMU.

Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any query.
