I chose to be a part of Symbiosis because of its good reputation. Symbiosis colleges add value not just to the CV but also to the individual's personality which is true to some extent. For admissions, a symbiosis-centric entrance exam, SET is conducted which also includes WAT (Written Ability Test) and based on SET scores, colleges are allowed. Then a Personal Interview is conducted and a final list is released. SET is similar to another entrance exam. Any good coaching center would do justice to the entrance exam preparations and for interviews, I took a few mock interviews, prepared basic questions, practiced communication, and revised old concepts subject to the course. At Symbiosis School of Economics, here, the faculty is quite helpful, you get good exposure via guest lectures and boot camps, the course structure is well crafted, and it is a research-oriented course. However, infrastructure is not adequate and placements are poor. Overall, the college experience is decent.
I chose economics as I was from a commerce background and economics was something I wanted to study further. As mentioned earlier, the faculty is well-qualified and helpful however, there is a need for more teachers. The curriculum is well-crafted and quite rigorous. It is holistic in the manner, internships are compulsory every year and time is allotted for that. Internal as well as external projects are part of the course and extra courses are encouraged such as courera and swayam. The college also provides classes to study software like Stata, R, and Python. Fees are average, cost of living nearby is also decent. Symbiosis does not provide any scholarships. Scholarships under government schemes and NGOs can be availed.
Every student compulsorily undertakes two internships, an NGO internship and later a corporate internship. The college placement cell does not provide NGO internships but does send a list of potential NGOs and guides with the application and referrals. A few internship opportunities are provided by the placement cell for corporate internships but students prefer to look out for one on their own according to their interests and the college helps them with application guidelines and recommendation letters.
The college is still building upon for placements and very less job opportunities are available. Most of the students plan for a master's after college and or look for a job on their own. As per previous data, SSE students can get into a good college for a master's and at least get an average-paying job at the well reputed organization as the curriculum does focus on industry-oriented skill development.
The majority of the students at SSE are hostellers. On-campus life is average. We do have an annual fest, Niverve which is decent. Since we have a small campus and less crowd, college social clubs are mostly dead and Fest is always a failure due to lack of funds and interest of students. Although students get an opportunity to be a part of college clubs and multiple departments of the fest along with the student council which does guarantee great exposure. However, off-campus, life can be fun, Pune is a good city with many happening places to hang out. College hostels are good but quite expensive, there are many good and affordable PGs available at a walkable distance from college. Mess and canteen offer decent food but options nearby are better. Most students prefer to rent a flat near college. Social life here has been the best experience for all of us which has transformed us as a person in a positive sense.
I haven't reached my placement stage yet but from what I have seen the college doesn't wait until the final year to start preparing students. We have coding sessions, skills building workshops and career guidance from the beginning. Seniors also share their experiences which gives us a better idea of what to expect. I feel the college is helping us build the right foundation for internships and placements. At the same time, I think getting a good job also depends on how much effort we put into improving our own skills. So far I feel I am on the right track
no placement data is present now but many of students are working on their own projects and few are cracked the internships and now currently serving their period on the companies and it's really great opportunities.
The college does have a placement cell. It provides some in campus placements . Rarely 2% students get in campus placements. Rest have to find jobs pn their own. You wi have to do alot of interships and gain practical skills to be placed
Diffrent companies have different criteria, limited companies comes in campus such as bootcoding Pvt.Ltd , and some small companies arrived. Highest package giving by companies is 4 LPA lowest package is 3LPA and average package is 2.5LPA. about 20% of students got placed. Searching a job after my course computation.
The faculty members are supporting but inexperienced the experienced professionals have left the college long time ago. This is one of the old colleges in Pune. The semesters are generally proactive extracurricular activities are less and are given not much priority .
There are the placements are done in the final year of college, You are eligible for the appear in the placements drive you have to score good scores in the semester exams. There are the lowest 3LPA and highest 6LPA packages are offered by the companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, BOAT, SBI , Ultra Tech, Mahindra, Capgemini etc. Students have to maintain their SGPA up to 8.0 CGPA.
engineering course curriculum is very old specially for university batch students my batch get admission in 2022 at that our college is not get autonomous status. passing semester exams is little hard in university compare to autonomous batch. faculties teachings methods are very old. And not practical learning provided.
there are lots of mnc company visted college every year, most of companies have there eligiblity criteria is 60% and above overall from 10th, the biggest tech companies like tcs, wipro, accenture, deloitte, infosys, the average package is around 3lpa, every year 50 to 70% students getting placed.
The placements are nice. Majorly Hafiz contractor firm take students. But a lot of firms do come fruit placement. Take interview and hire students. Last year a lot of students got placements based on their portfolios and skills And got salaries ranging from 2,50,000-6,00,000 Annually.
The placement and job opportunities in college is good the MOU's signed by company are good almost 40-50% of college gets placement remaining go for off campus placements there are companies like TCS , Accenture etc
