Questions Asked On Faculty of Management Sciences, Adani University - [FMS], Ahmedabad

My friend has completed his PGDM from the Adani Institute of Infrastructure Management recently. His initial years were pleasant with no complaints about the management and the facilities.

But as he got used to his surroundings, he came across internal politics, employees who were not satisfied. The core faculty panel which consisted of 6 professors was changed within a year and a half.

New people replaced the ones on the placement committee. The team went through a complete revamp. Some of the people who joined for placements did not have any manners as to how to approach a company or how to be respectful with them. Even after a number of complaints, the management never paid any attention to any of them.

On contrary to what was promised, the institute only brought in 20-30% companies and they provided packages of only around 60% and the average package was 4-5 LPA.

In addition to that, most of the companies that the institute brought in were giving placements in the sales area. Most of the time, the job descriptions, packages, and even the locations were unclear. The director of the institute is hardly approachable.

The course of infrastructure management does not provide anything distinctive. It is very much like the PGDM program.
