Glimpse of ISME

What I Liked

College is really located outside the city travelling in Bangalore's traffic can be a bit hectic, course offeres a good knowledge and all some facilities are very friendly and some can be very tough to even have a communication
Infrastructure is good but not that excellent college has got a play area outside the college where students can entertain themselves by playing outdoor games

Remarks:

Interview was conducted before admission but it wasn't that tough they just check your communication skills as we all know college needs students for business and to gain profit, but it's mandatory to give any Management exams but there's not cut off as such for admission

The college infrastructure is good and is organized well.
The faculties are highly qualified and give their best.

The location of the college is far from the center of the city
The campus is small compared to other colleges

Remarks:

The only thing I had to do for admission was a personal interview where they asked me about my grades and some questions related to my graduation. They check whether we are eligible to do a master's or not.

ISME Bangalore - College Review

What I Liked

The infrastructure of the college is good.
The faculty of the college is helpful to the students.

What I didn’t like

The food in the mess can be improved in terms of taste.
More variety can be added to the food menu in the mess.

Remarks:

I got to know about this college from YouTube and Google. I wanted to come to banglore to pursue my Graduation as it is the IT Hub of India. There was an interview conducted for the admission of the students. I also gave the interview.
