SoM, Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU)

Admission: The teachers at PDPU are super experienced and smart. They're great at managing things and always help us out. The course content is top-notch, similar to what you'd find at top management schools like IIMs. Love it here!

Placement: Placement at PDPU is awesome every year. Last year, about 80-90% of students got placed. Companies like Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, Shell, Adani, Reliance, Indian Oil, and more came to our campus. The average salary offered is around 7 Lacs per year.

Campus: PDPU's campus in Gandhinagar is top-notch. It's super peaceful and green. We've got all the latest facilities here sports grounds, a great library, and big classrooms. The canteen serves top-notch food, and the hostel rooms are really good too, with all the necessary facilities.

Admission: The teachers are qualified, but their teaching methods could be better. They use projectors and PowerPoints, and sometimes even case studies. However, the issue is that even subjects like accountancy and stats are taught verbally without solving problems in class. We did get some industry exposure during the internship, which was helpful. The course curriculum was good, but some professors didn't explain things well.

Placement: All of us in my batch got internships, and we're working there now. In the senior batch, almost 95% got jobs. The highest salary was 8 lakhs, the lowest was 4.6 lakhs, and the average was around 6-6.5 lakhs. Companies like ICICI, Future Group, Knight Frank, JLL, Reliance, Asian paints, Gail, Cococola, Ambuja Cement, Waghbakri, and a few others visited our college. Most of the roles were in marketing, like creating demand for products or building client relationships. Everyone got internships, with the highest stipend being Rs. 15,000. The placement committee is really helpful. They bring in a lot of companies and handle the entire batch's placements.

Campus: The campus at PDPU has Wi-Fi everywhere, and the classrooms are big enough for the whole batch. They've got good benches, chairs, projectors, and screens in every class. The library has over 14,000 books, which is awesome. The medical facilities are a bit lacking with only one doctor for 4000 students. But the sports grounds for football, cricket, and volleyball are top-notch. The canteen food is tasty, but the mess food isn't great at dinner. The hostel rooms are spacious and comfy. I didn't face any issues with the infrastructure, but it's a bit of a trek between the classrooms, hostel, and mess. Lots of walking involved!

Admission: The teachers know their stuff, but they struggle to explain things well. They use lots of presentations to teach, but they lack real-world experience. Sometimes they're late to class. The courses are too focused on theory and not enough on real-life skills.

Placement: Placements right now aren't great. Only 10 students have jobs so far, with the highest salary being 6 lakhs. Our batch only has 1 company offering internships at the moment.

Campus: PDPU's SPM college isn't great. The campus is huge, but the infrastructure needs work. Chairs are old, AC hardly works. Professors are often late, and the grading system is unfair.

Admission: The teachers here are great. They have real-world experience and teach through case studies, not just books. This is important for an MBA. Each student gets a mentor for support. Classes mainly use PPT slides. We have guest lectures too, which are super helpful. There are 11 full-time teachers for around 240 students, but lots of visiting teachers as well. The course covers a lot of topics like Marketing, Operations, Finance, and more. It's interesting to learn. Most teachers are awesome, except for one. Overall, it's a good experience.

Placement: If you join this college, you don't need to worry about getting a job. They guarantee 100% placement. Salaries can vary a lot, from Rs. 4.5 lakhs to Rs. 17 lakhs per year. So work hard to improve yourself. On average, people get Rs. 7 lakhs per year. Many companies come to hire students for different roles. You can get jobs in consulting firms like KPMG, Protivity, and Mott Mac Donald, as well as in PSUs like ONGC, BPCL, and IOCL. There's also a general management course that attracts banks like ICICI and SBI. You can find the full list on the college website. The placement season starts in November, and by December, 80% of students are placed. Everyone is hired by April. Some students even get a stipend of around Rs. 25,000. This gives you great exposure and opportunities.

Campus: The whole campus has Wi-Fi, thanks to JIO. The library has books on every topic. You can also find magazines and newspapers there. If a book is missing, just ask and you'll get it in 1-2 weeks. Plus, there are separate libraries for different schools. Medical help is available, with a doctor and counseling center on campus. There's even a 24-hour ambulance service. If you're into sports, there are two football grounds, a cricket ground, a tennis lawn, a volleyball ground, and more. The canteen serves food four times a day, with a variety of dishes. They have Jain, Gujarati, Punjabi, and non-veg food. If you're not a fan, there are other eateries on campus. Girls stay in hostels on campus, while boys are off-campus. Both have AC and non-AC rooms with 1-2-3 sharing options. The boys' hostel feels like a 3-star hotel, with TVs on each floor and good security. They take care of any issues in the rooms weekly and clean daily. Laundry is available but costs extra. Classrooms are top-notch, with projectors, whiteboards, and blackboards. And they're all centrally air-conditioned.

Admission: The faculty at this college are a mix of great and average. Some teachers really know their stuff, while others struggle to keep the class in line. They mostly use their own PowerPoints and do a lot of case studies in class. The curriculum works well for marketing and operations, but could be better for other subjects.

Placement: The summer internships were good for us juniors. But the final placements for the general management batch had some issues. The average salary was around 7.1 lacs per year, which is a bit higher than what our seniors got (about 6 lacs per year). Some students even got up to 10 lacs per year in companies like Accenture, TCS, Nerolac, Ambuja Cement, and Waghbakri. Most marketing roles were in sales or digital marketing. Over 80% of us got internships through the college. The highest stipend offered was Rs. 15,000, but sometimes there was no stipend at all. The placement cell is good at getting the companies you want. I wanted FMCG companies, and they brought more of those.

Campus: The college has awesome infrastructure with everything you need. The classrooms are top-notch with comfy chairs, projectors, blackboards, and AC. Food in the mess is good for lunch but not so much for dinner. It's a bit of a trek to get to the main road, about 3 km away, so you'll have to walk a bit for any shops or eateries. The cultural committee organizes events often which is cool.

Admission: The teachers and the courses are up to date with what's happening in the business world. They know their stuff and share useful real-world tips.

Placement: I loved how the college helps us get jobs based on what we like. They work with really good companies that train us well. The number and quality of companies that hire us is impressive. The salary they offer is pretty good too. Everyone from past batches got a job and they're doing well. The college also prepares us for internships in big companies. It's a great way to learn about industry trends and work culture.

Companies like public sector utilities, IT consultancies, and banks hired students. Everyone got internships, and the profiles offered were great.

The average salary is around Rs.6.5 to Rs.7 lakh per year, with the highest being Rs.15 lakh per year. Companies like Infosys, Accenture, and KPMG hire regularly from here.

Most of them had PhDs and knew a lot about their subjects. They were super interactive and always willing to share extra knowledge beyond the textbooks.

Placement: The job placements for my batch were good. The average salary for our batch (2013-17) was 3.5 LPA. The highest salary offered was 7 LPA and the lowest was 2 LPA. About 60% of us got jobs. Companies like Capgemini, Infosys, Collabera, ACT TV, Universal Hunt, and others came for placements. They offered roles like Management Trainee, Implementation Specialist, Technical Support, and more.

Campus: The college's infrastructure was top-notch. Classrooms were big and cozy, but got a bit warm in the summer. Still, no problems with the structure. The labs had all the latest tech, which was awesome. The cafeteria was clean and roomy, but the food was pricey. It was tasty, though. Sports facilities were just okay, not the best.
