Bangalore University - [BU], Bangalore - Affiliated Colleges

According to the reviews online, Bangalore University (BU) is an average institution. It sure is one of the oldest in the country and has a reputation. But it nowadays has been seen to deteriorate day by day. 

Here are some facts about BU:

• The faculty members, though highly experienced, are very few. Most of the classes are taken by Research students.
• There is no proper management.
• The exam results are delayed most of the time.
• The syllabus is not upgraded catering to the latest trends in the industry.
• Bus service is not provided.
• The canteen is not clean and well maintained.

Most students choose to study in this college due to its brand and reputation. It is an older elite institute which they often think will be reliable. The quality of education is considered to be good and students are selected here for admission based on their merit.

The MBA program offered by Bangalore University is average at best. The academics are decent. But the university doesn’t ensure 100% placement and hence a good return on investment. Bangalore University placements have an average package of around INR 5 LPA. 

There are many better MBA colleges available in Hyderabad, such as NMIMS, Ashoka School of Business, IMT, etc. Hyderabad colleges also offer better placement opportunities due to the locational advantages.

Doing an MCA from Bangalore University is certainly worth the time and money invested. It offers decent academics. Third semester onwards, the course work includes two mini projects per semester. This gives a lot of hands-on learning experience. These projects will also help you enrich your resume.

The placement will depend on how you utilize your skills and knowledge. The average CTC for MCA offered during the recent Bangalore University placements was INR 6 LPA. 

My brother is a BCA graduate from Bangalore University with four years of experience in the Software Industry. He was the gold medalist of his batch. At present, he is at the same pay and designation as his BE counterparts. However, he had to face some circumstances which proved to him the significance of one’s degree.

He applied to Georgia Tech University through Udacity, for an MS. However, his application was rejected because the university requires at least 4 years in UG from its applicants. Next, he applied for a well known product based company through referral, and was not even shortlisted for the interview. 

Upon enquiring, he got to know that only B.E./B.Tech graduates were being considered by the company. Between him and his colleague, the latter was preferred for an onsite opportunity because that person was a B.Tech graduate. 

According to my brother, if you wish to pursue BCA, do complete your higher studies before entering into the IT industry. As far as Bangalore University is concerned, it is a good institution for anyone who is ready to put in the hard work.
