SOIL Institute of Management Gurgaon Campus: Photos, Virtual Tour

Tiny would be an understatement because after studying at TNU and visiting so many Colleges including B-Schools, in my academic career, I think SOIL is without a doubt one of the smallest Colleges that I have seen. Well, this is one aspect, and the other aspect is the architect of the College, as any modern office in India will die, wondering how can such a College be built. Everything is automated here, from lifts, to classrooms, and obviously the library. A lot of money has been spent on technology, and probably that might be the reason they couldn't have afforded a land which was big enough to boast.

Campus life is heavily dependent on classes and seminars. We had no choice but to attend all of it. Performance pressure was at its peak at SOIL because no matter what, performance was the only way to survive here. Luckily, a few events happened and we were like, is this the return of College life because at SOIL, I never felt like I was at College. I always felt like I am a labor and going to toil hard for the day and that too without getting paid.Read Full Review

The campus area is the bare minimum, but one will still be saluting the campus arrangement as it was damn good. There are five floors and each floor has something or the other. The conference hall, and the auditorium were on the first floor, and the second and third floor were for classes. The fourth floor had a recreation room which could easily accommodate over 100 students at a time. The top floor was a library which in a way was small, but we could access CME at any point as the library was fully automated. So, the building was excellent and the little parking area was good enough; there was enough space outside the College gate to park vehicles.

Some activities kept happening at the campus, but students themselves denied many activities as we were left with no time for ourselves while studying at SOIL. So, SOIL was all about learning and developing skills because the small crowd that we had at SOIL was so good that each student was friends with almost every other student at the College.Read Full Review

The city's most happening area, HUDA city center, was close to the SOIL Gurugram campus. Infrastructure in one word is elite, as the building had an architect that was laced with all the latest technology. In course of time, almost every B-School will take a leaf out of the SOIL book on how to build infrastructure. Infrastructure was an explosion of technology because of one word for the computer lab as it only had MAC PCs. Infrastructure was comprised of a great canteen, which we always referred to as Café, and a recreational room that had sports facilities like never seen before.

My campus life review is on the things I did at the campus because otherwise, it becomes a cop-out where you want to pack seven best things and do a review on that. I need one concession in my review and I will explain why for a specific reason. If one gets a great placement, campus life becomes great, and if one doesn't, then it looks bad. My experience with placement was bad, so I am rating my campus life as average, but there were things that I did which I know I wouldn't have otherwise. By otherwise I mean many great things like interacting with business experts, learning or taking a leaf out of the bags of people where I see myself in the future. So, many opportunities were provided at SOIL, it's that placement challenge was something where I failed miserably.Read Full Review
