Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research, Mumbai

Admission: The professors here are pretty good, although not all of them are top-notch. The courses are based on what the industry needs, and there's tons of study material given in class. The exams can be challenging because getting good grades isn't a piece of cake. However, your professor plays a big role in how you do.

Placement: The placements here are really good, with students getting industry-average packages. The return on investment is great too. If you have the right skills, you can even land a higher-paying job. There are lots of opportunities here for students. Most students end up in marketing, sales, FMCG, or banks. If you're good at coding, you might even get a role in analytics.

Campus: Classrooms have good air conditioning, digital screens, and wall speakers. The library has plenty of books for classes. The hostels are nice, but food isn't provided. Electricity is free and they have washing machines. The rooms are for two people.

Admission: The college officials can be a bit rude sometimes. Office staff works pretty slow. But the teachers are good in class and give helpful hand-written notes. Lectures are long, like 2 hours each, but cover everything from management to tech stuff like cloud computing and coding. It's a flagship program, so it's pretty important. Exams in the semester are kinda tough, so make sure you know your stuff.

Placement: The average salary for our batch is around 12 lakhs a year, and the highest one is 25.5 lakhs. Companies like Adani Wilmar, Amazon, Accenture, Cognizant, Tech Solutions, and Deloitte came for placements. We all have to do summer internships for 8-10 weeks. I did mine at HP, but there are also options like Jio and Indian Oil for digital marketing and analysis work.

Campus: The college in Matunga doesn't have an outdoor sports field which is a bummer. Living costs around here are pretty high. With 800 students, the campus gets super crowded. Good thing is, Wi-Fi is available in the hostel, canteen, and all over campus. The library has both digital and traditional books. But the hostel isn't great - lots of problems there, especially with the food quality.

Admission: The teachers at our college are super helpful. They do a lot to support us, like giving us notes and explaining things. They also help us revise our work. The teaching is really good. The courses we take are practical and get us ready for working in the industry.

Campus: The library had tons of books on every topic, all good quality. They covered industry-related stuff in different chapters. The internet was fast, and the Wi-Fi worked well. The canteen served really tasty food too.

Campus: The Wi-Fi at this college is good, and you can use it anywhere on campus. They keep everything clean, like the labs, classrooms, and library. The food is decent too, they switch it up every day and have special meals for events.

Admission: The teachers are really great! They know their stuff because they come from the real world of work. They use lots of examples from actual businesses to help us understand better. The course covers important topics, but it's more theoretical than practical. The exams are fair, you just need to get 40% to pass.

Placement: I was promised placement opportunities, but they never came through. It's been 11 months since the course ended, and they stopped responding to our calls and emails.

Campus: The classes at Welingkar Institute are actually held in Ruia and Podar College nearby. The classrooms there aren't very clean, and the benches are small and not very comfy. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to use the main building at Welingkar.

Admission: I really liked this course because it gives us a mix of hands-on and book learning about retail. It's better than a usual PG or MBA course. The teachers are experts in the industry and teach us a lot about how things work. The classes are small with only 10 students, so we get lots of help. It costs INR 650,000 per year, but it's worth it for the knowledge we gain.

Placement: Once we finish our summer internship, we can apply for jobs. This usually happens after the 3rd term or 1st year. They also give us pre-placement offers (PPOs) during this time. Last year, the top salary was 24 lacs, and the average was 10 lacs. About 90% of us get placed. After going through this process, I might think about starting my own business once I get some work experience.

Campus: I think it's important to mention that the hostel doesn't serve meals, which I feel is unfair. Weldingkar doesn't have much space on campus, so they've set up hostels within a 2-kilometer distance from the college. The hostel where I'm staying has everything I need except for food. They've provided an AC, fridge, beds, pillows, cupboards, desk and chair, cloth stand, kettle, iron, and iron stand. When you fill out the forms, you can choose a hostel, but availability is limited. Also, even if you ask for a hostel at first, you can change your mind later. The hostel fee for a year is INR 205,000.

Admission: The staff here are super supportive and helpful. They know their stuff and use cool ways to teach  like videos and PowerPoints. The course is great and gets us ready for the industry. Exams happen every semester, and you just need 40% to pass.

Placement: Most of us got placed in big companies like Reliance, Nestle, HUL after college. The highest salary was 8 lakhs per year, and the lowest was 3 lakhs. On average, we got 6 lakhs. The top job role was area manager. Almost everyone in our batch got an internship.

Campus: The college has great infrastructure. Classrooms are nice and have good seating. They're air-conditioned and there are computer labs. The food is clean and cheap. There's natural light and medical help if needed. We have a sports ground and coaches for activities. It's a good place to study and have fun.

Admission: I really liked how the professors at our college focused more on teaching through projects and assignments than just exams. They explained concepts well and used practical methods. The MCQ exams were manageable, but some questions were tricky. Overall, I learned a lot from the techniques and theories taught in class.

Placement: Campus placements usually start in September and go on till March/April. Around 90% to 100% of students get placed through the college. Some students prefer to find jobs on their own or start their own business. Even if things don't go well, the alumni network is really supportive. They're friendly, helpful, and down-to-earth.
