Admission: I chose to do the MBA program at NMIMS Mumbai because it matched my work background. I wanted to enhance my knowledge with theoretical business ideas. The classrooms are spacious and bright, and there's one teacher for every 30 students. The teachers are experts in their fields and most have PhDs. They use a method where we discuss cases in class, which keeps things interesting. We had quizzes every week and midterms three weeks into the term. Finals were at the end.

Admission: The teachers here are really smart and they help a lot. They teach well too. Most of the stuff we learn in the BCA course is useful, but some subjects in the first year like business communication and environmental studies don't seem that helpful. Still, the teachers for those subjects are okay.

Placement: I'm not sure about the placement percentage, but I do know that some companies come for entry-level jobs here. They offer roles like system administrator. Throughout the year, students can get internships, but I didn't apply for any. The top recruiting companies are service-based.

Campus: The classrooms are small, but the labs are huge. The campus is just a 7-story building. Wi-Fi is in most classrooms, but it blocks social media. The library seems good, but I haven't used it. The reading room takes up half a floor. Food in the mess is pretty good. There's no playground for sports. There are a few clubs you can join if you want to.

Admission: The teachers at Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research are a bit of a mixed bunch. Some are really nice and helpful, but a couple out of the six we have are not so great. They just go through the slides without really explaining stuff. The exams and semesters were pretty easy, especially since it was our first time. On the bright side, they give students taking exams rooms with air conditioning, which is a nice perk.

Placement: After graduation, most people make around 4 to 5 LPA, but some get up to 19.9 LPA. Big companies like AMD, INTEL, and TCS hire a lot of grads. They say 93% of students find a job after school. The best job is learning about IT.

Campus: The college hostel is awesome! It has everything you need. The rooms are nice, each with its own bathroom. Two students stay in each room and it has all the stuff you need to live comfortably.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and know their stuff, but there are a few who might not be as great. They stick to the course material, but the classes could use some work. It's important to have a good mix of theory and hands-on stuff for each subject, which is lacking a bit here.

Placement: Around 75 students have already found jobs, not just in IT but other fields too. The college is working hard to bring in more companies, which seems okay. The highest salary offered is 22.5 LPA, while the lowest is 3.44 LPA. DE Shaw is the top company that hires from our college.
