Symbiosis International University (SCMS), Noida
Likes
- Good brand for off-campus opportunities and with NEP in place and the new SIBM Campus, peer quality and opportunities can increase with time.
- Faculty is usually very approachable and certainly helpful.
Dislikes
- No real ROI, if you depend on the college for employment opportunities, students should be self aware and should try to look for good opportunities off campus.
- The college campus is pretty small with no to very little sporting infrastructure.
Remarks :
The Symbiosis Brand was the most important factor. Don't opt for this college if you have any other better options like top Delhi or Mumbai university colleges, main campuses of Symbiosis, NMIMS or Christ or any IPM programs run by IIMs. To enter a candidate would have to enroll for Symbiosis Entrance Examination, clear the cut-offs which would be generally around 42-45 out of 60 marks and accordingly appear for interviews. For test preparation, the syllabus will be very similar to other undergraduate commerce entrance tests. It will be Quants, VARC, LRDI and General Knowledge. I did not prepare for these rounds as my decision was very ambiguous. But anyone who is wondering can just check out some videos on YouTube for concepts, practice some questions for clarity and will be good to go. For the interviews, you just need to brush up on your general and business knowledge and be aware of the world of business and anything that can be relevant to your life before college.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course curriculum is the only thing that is very timely updated and can be considered good. One of the very few undergrad business colleges in India that offer a business analytics specialization, you can also choose a minor and get a dual degree if you don't change it throughout the course. I chose finance as my major because I eventually want to build my career in finance, Some of the faculty are good, but others are decent with all of them being fairly qualified and the teaching methods can be improved but can vary depending on personal experiences. The exams are conducted timely, with moderate difficulty level and can be compared to other similar colleges, you will have to put in a small amount of effort but not very difficult to score good marks. There is a fee hike of 15,000 every year and it is comparably expensive for a BBA, but if you perform well academically and can meet their T&Cs, you can avail of concessions and also the fees can be paid in EMIs.
Internships Opportunities :
I opted for an internship outside of the campus, you will have to do mandatory internships, and the opportunities provided by the college are not up to the mark, with very few stipends and very little learning scope. Usually very sales-heavy internships and would suggest not relying on campus opportunities, can change in the future though.
Placement Experience :
You should have no active backlogs and above a pre-determined cgpa threshold to be eligible for placement assistance. A few good names are Zomato, Decathlon, Motherson Group, IDFC Bank etc. About 30 offers were made combined out of a total of 40-50 students who opt for placement assistance which would be around 65-70% of students getting placed in absolute terms, usually, people opt for an MBA, look for opportunities on their own, or just join their family business. The highest would be around 10 lacs per annum CTC and the lowest can be in the range of 1.5-2.5 lacs per annum CTC. The average would roughly be around 3.5 lacs. I did not opt for campus assistance and looked for opportunities off-campus, have a few offers from Zomato, Feeding India, D.E. Shaw, and Dasra. Haven't decided yet, but truly a very humbling and enriching experience.
Campus Life :
Multiple Cultural and Business fests - Symaroh and Bizcon, Symunc and Symcharcha - MUN and Parliamentary Debate Events, Symperia - Sports Fest, Symudhyam - Entrepreneurial Event, and a lot of other events all year round. You have numerous clubs and cells including the academic clubs, corporate affairs cells, student activity committees and other extracurricular groups that keep you engaged throughout your college life and help build lifelong friendships. The infrastructure is also very good with all modern facilities, online domains and classroom amenities but the campus size is comparably small with no sporting infrastructure inside the campus but are booked from time to time outside the campus for all the sporting events and tryouts. Teams travel to different colleges for tournaments in sports and also other extracurriculars and you will be kept engaged throughout. At the moment Hostel is only available for outstation girls which is a bit costly with decent food quality and items.

Awesome Campus, Hands-on Experience, Supportive Professors.
Placement Experience :
Campus placements start from the 7th semester for students, once the University criteria is fulfilled. As B. Tech Biotechnology is a newly introduced course, there is no Branch wise Placement data available for B.Tech Biotechnology as of now but the university does attract companies like Nestlé, Yakult, Dabur, Cognizant, Accenture, Infosys, HCLTech, and so on. The university stated the overall highest package was 60 LPA and the average placement was around 5.4 LPA. My ambition is to pursue a career in Biotechnology in R&D or QA/QC or Biopharmaceutical industry after graduation and enhance my technical knowledge.
