Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University MBA Review By Srikanth Lanke

I studied MBA between the years 2013 and 2015. It all started introducing MBA as the greatest thing we can do in college. However, their words didn't match the reality. The reasons are many, but if you ask me the major cons, I say about the mediocre lecturers, average infrastructure, very less exposure to the management events and very poor placements. Besides, the HOD interaction was very less with the students. It's been a long time I have completed my MBA on campus, and all my opinions are based on the course of our study at that time. I suggest this college only when you want to get a certificate from JNTUK University. However, the college is not the right choice to get a campus placement.

Concerning the MBA, the university campus is offering HR, Marketing, Finance and Systems Specialisations. There are common subjects in the first year for every student. The students can choose the specialisations in the second year, and the students can go to the dual specialisations in any of the combinations. For Example, the students can for HR & Marketing, Finance & HR, Systems & Finance etc. The students should also complete a Mini Project and a Major Project as a part of their course. The internal marks consist of 40 marks (20 Marks for Descriptive and 20 Marks for Presentations), and the external marks for each subject is 60 marks. However, the college focus is only on academics and classroom teaching by the lecturers.

They recruited the experienced faculty for MBA Course. However, hardly one or two lecturers have industry experience. The rest of the lecturers are not carrying any corporate or industry experience, which is essential to teach the management courses. The student's exposure to the outside world is too little with traditional classroom teaching methods. The faculty were friendly, but the college environment lacks professionalism. Please keep your expectations low when you are looking to join this course for getting exposed to the outer world that an MBA aspirant always dreams of.

I will not suggest this college if you want to join only for getting a good placement. The college has a very poor placement record concerning MBA placements. I had studied MBA in HR & Marketing in the same college, and we didn't get any placement support for our specialisation. The other specialization students could able to get only one placement from a mediocre company. Moreover, our successive batches also didn't get any placements, according to my knowledge. There is a college placement cell, but the major concentration is only on technical courses students.

The campus has a huge hostel building for the students of all the courses. Hostel Facility is only for non-local students. The hostel facility is given to the students on the first-come, first-serve basis. The students will not get any accommodation once the hostel blocks are filled. I observed my friends who used to stay outside in the private hostels during our course. Moreover, the rooms in the college hostel are small, and the facilities are just average. The food served for hostellers is also average.

The infrastructure facilities for the MBA block were mediocre while we were studying. We didn't even have a proper building for MBA Course. We used to have a library, projector and computer lab. However, our successive batch students were moved to the new block with all the facilities like classrooms with projector, library, and computer lab. However, all the students have a common playground, canteen, roads, and a bank on campus.

The campus has separate buildings for each of the courses being offered. It is located in the middle of the city, where the students can easily commute from different places across the state.
