Ranchi, April 30: Ranchi University management students rue that the lack of infrastructure and corporate exposure has spelt doom for their careers.
“Nowadays MNCs are looking for MBA pass-outs from reputed institutes. Our MBA centre under Ranchi University suffers from an identity crisis which needs to be addressed,” said Nishi Sinha, of 2004-06 batch, who was recruited by ICICI Prudential.
“Even though the management course was inaugurated in 2002, it started quite late so we completed the course six months late. During the placement, there was only one company that recruited three final-year MBA students. The selection criterion was based on GD, personal interview and written test,” said her batchmate Madan Kumar.
“Even the salary package offered to us is quite low — Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 3 lakh annually. We lack in terms of infrastructure and the latest facilities and are unable to interact with students from XISS and XLRI. When I compare myself with others pursuing the same course in national institutions, I feel a little depressed, mainly owing to the treatment we receive afterwards,” added another student Rita Singh.
The Ranchi University Centre for MBA Studies, opened in 2002, is yet to be equipped with basic infrastructure, placement cells and faculty members. Though the head of department, S.B. Say, said that an AICTE recognition, which the centre had applied for, was not a necessity, the authorities had not compromised on quality. Say said: “We had started the course as we felt that the management courses have the potential to generate employment. We also felt that the students cannot spend lakhs for doing a course. So we kept a minimum admission fee.
“Besides, quality does not come in a day. We cannot boast of a sprawling campus, but we can certainly be proud of our standard of teaching and other technical facilities, including information technology gadgets.”
Officials said that from time to time they also invite speakers from abroad — like Harry Harris from the US, who had spoken on globalisation. “He appreciated the MBA centre of our university after his interaction with students,” added official.
