I have read a lot of reviews about this institute, some say its bad and some say its the best but for me it turned out to be a really bad experience.
When I considered this institute I was of the opinion that this was an AICTE institute which it was not.Now I regret that decision.When I had given my interview the interviewer had promised that every help would be given by the faculty.That was a good trick to get people in and later tell them that books need to be issued as the faculty has no time to teach the basic.If that was the case why did they want me to be at institute, well because they wanted money .
Then came the part where institute session started and it happened in the auditorium.What in the world I got myself into and there was no sign of having the session in the class .Even Harvard Business school has sessions in the class and they are top brass College.The faculty was also teaching the managers as though they were in school.There was no respect.The mentors were of no power, just a waste of utility and time.
Then Harvard case study, even Amity Business school teach them, that is not the USP of the institute.Then role playing in class sessions, better join an acting class in that case.Funny some of the faculty had just passed out of institute, "kudos".The faculty was useless, mentioning Statistics , accounts , FMS , GTM .They knew the subject but lacked the teaching skills.
I also forgot to mention that they claimed that they had a tie up with IGNOU to provide MBA degree but that was scrapped as due to IGNOU internal issue but the institute made no attempt to help the students by providing transport for going to Dwarka to fill the forms.Due to that in Jan 2013 there was a strike which was understandable.The management threatened action as Behavior agreement was signed by the student (not a legal document), that meant that there was a strike in the previous year as well.
You can imagine now students had to tell the management that they wanted a class not auditorium.Thats the level of cheapness is there in the institute. next year fees is 13 lakhs on the pretext that foreign trip for a month is there.If they provide full time job in the states during the trip then all should go for it.Oh yeah the 2012-14 students are left in the dark as they would get a certificate not AICTE approved diploma.The 2013-15 batch get the diploma.If the batch wants a diploma 1, 00, 000 extra needs to be dished out.If things were not bad enough now this.Parents who paid in full have no option but to continue as their money is lost.
The placement side is also best.They say students have to ask their dream companies to come and recruit.Why has the student paid 8, 00, 000 to institute only for Harvard Case study or a puny textbook or role playing or get scolded by lecturers. A lot of good faculty members also left the institute due to management politics.
I am not the one to judge who should join and whom should not, but there have instances where the institute has been dicey .They claim a lot but do not deliver.Its your career at stake .Even parents need to think it through this and look at all institutes before joining.Parents sit down and look at the criteria that you want.If you are interested in sending you kid just to spend two years and not interested in diploma or placement this institute is the place.But if your kid is interested in serious studies and want a good skilled job well look some where less expensive.There is no substitute for hard work but the right guidance is also important which I can say is not there in the institute.
I wish you all the best for your search for the B-school that might help in launching your career.Have a nice day!!!
