CIR plays a crucial role in any placement process. For any student to crack an interview, Motivation and Perseverance is key and the CIR Department of ASB Bangalore has driven us through the interview process with abundance of the same. Their seamless process of Mock Interviews and Group Discussions has given us an edge over others. One important aspect that they have taught us is: “How to accept failure, not give up and rebound with the same motivation in further interviews.” I would love to extend my gratitude to the CIR Department for supporting me throughout the 3-day interview process and for keeping my confidence and morale high.

CIR provided the best assistance for all the rounds in the interview processes to ensure all the efficient candidates are placed in their deserving companies.

Talent Management, Bridgei2i Analytics Solutions
Batch: 2016-2018

The best of both worlds’- That was life at Amrita for me. I was lucky enough to be a part of the MBA-MS Program that Amrita offered in collaboration with SUNY, Buffalo. Two high valued professional courses in a span of 2 years and from esteemed universities- It was an opportunity I did not want to miss. The MBA course gave me an understanding of how the business world works. The challenges we faced, kept us on our toes, constantly pushing us to give our best shot! It was a synergy between rich experiential learning and deep rooted values that our faculty imparted in us. The MS course was all about strategy and business analytics. The exposure we got at UB was quite a unique one in terms of the curriculum and the teaching pedagogy. I feel fortunate to have experienced student life at both the campuses. The faculty of the program were SME’s from their fields which was indeed the main reason we had a great learning at Amrita. Looking back, my journey at Amrita was such an exuberant ride. The opportunities I got, paved my path from Can I? to I CAN! The 2 years here, I made some wonderful friends and mentors and carved some beautiful memories which will remain etched in my heart for a life time!

I have nothing but words of profound gratitude for my alma mater, Amrita School of Business, Bengaluru. Life and learning experiences at ASB have made me so much wiser, stronger and smarter. Career took off the moment I landed at ASB and I have never had to look back since then. Great faculty, great facilities, great placements! Just was the perfect place for me to live my dreams,, thank you ASB!! Discovered that the hard skills learnt at college are the most sought-after at my workplace now. Thanks to my mentors, I transformed from an individual who spoke and wrote a great deal, to a prospective leader who communicates powerfully with fewer words. Professors inculcated in me the value of being precise and concise. All this plus, a ton of nostalgic memories to cherish lifelong. Couldn’t ask for more, could I?!

Amrita is not just a campus but a family with energy and life all over. Students are always in constant pursuit of knowledge. When two renowned universities (Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham & SUNY, Buffalo) collaborate to offer two high valued programs in a span of two years with all the necessary exposures, will be an opportunity which nobody wants to miss. Amrita gave not just the management side knowledge but it also taught us how to live a life of values. When MBA taught us how the business world is and its techniques, MS helped us in building strategies in business to succeed. The main attraction of the whole course is the techno-functional exposure to the world of data. How to use the analytical techniques to understand what the data is telling us and deriving insights to help the business to hit the mark. The faculties here are the best in their fields and that’s the main reason why we don’t have a doubt on the quality of learning which we get. The two years here have given me some great mentors and wonderful friends who are still a part of my mainstream life. There is a great saying by Benjamin Franklin, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” Yes here we are involved and so the learning stays with us. In a nutshell Amrita gives you bliss full Life and Learning.

I’m proud to say that I’m a part of (the future alumni of) Amrita School of Business Bangalore. I’ve learnt a lot here, that has inspired me to grow and become a better person both- professionally and personally. The best thing in this college is its highly knowledgeable and friendly faculty, who treat you like family, who continuously guide & motivate you, and who are always available to help you. Apart from this, the ambiance, the infrastructure, the co-curricular & extra-curricular events, the trip to University at Buffalo, are all well-organized and well-designed, and I’m happy that I got an opportunity to experience it all.

Vidyalakshmi Nair

Batch: 2009-2011

The uniqueness of the MBA-MS dual degree program is many fold apart from the few obvious ones. MS courses mainly deal with strategy, development and analytics which is a must-have for any manager in today’s competitive world. Thus the MBA and the MS program go hand in hand. The Bengaluru campus houses a cosy atmosphere and students become one closely-knit family – encouraging healthy competition, learning to work in multi-faceted teams and leading initiatives. One of the most enlightening highlights of the program is the “unlearning & learning” period at The University at Buffalo (UB), State University of New York (SUNY). Not only were the students exposed to an entirely different pedagogy but the stint at UB also taught us the importance of working in diverse conditions and groups, working with deadlines and exams that give us every kind of advantage whilst being the most challenging. This educational modality helped us to think better and faster even in our MBA courses.
