Remarks

The main reason to choose DFS was having a knack for finance and ROI. After joining I knew I made a good desicion because here from the 1st sem throughtout MBA we have core finance courses. We have had few of the best faculty here even Alums from IIM A etc.The admission process for DFS wasn't complex as opposed to most of the top tier Colleges. Pagalguy is the best forum to ask our team anything regarding the admission process.

Course Curriculum Overview

Faculty to student ratio is around 1:5 which is one of the best in the industry. We have few of the best Faculty here as there are alums from IIM A and other top B-Schools. The course curriculum is totally finance specific. If the student is into Finance, DFS is undoubtedly the best in the industry.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 20000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Right now I am doing an internship but it hasn't started yet. So I don't have any experience in this regard.

Placement Experience

The batches here have had 100% placements every year. The recruiters are limited to the finance industry, so we may have less companies. But, the quality of recruiters and the package they offer are really good as they are some of the top players in the Finance sector. After studying all semesters in finance, students opt for mostly finance jobs so the cmpus brings mainly finance companies. If the students are interested in profiles other than finance, the placement committee provides assistance for them to find suitable jobs for them.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees is very liberal when compared to other colleges. There are also scholarships for CFA level 1 based on merit. The internship and placement oppurtunities are really good. We get offers from big players like Arcesium and EY.

Campus Life

4.5

Till now we haven't been to campus yet due to the pandemic. But as far as online classes are concerned, they are really interactive and great. There are a few clubs offline but right now they are not active due to the semester being online. Although, there are various committees functioning online to help develop ourselves and the college.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Till now we haven't had the chance to go to college and therefore we haven't had a chance to enjoy hostel or campus life. There are limited seats to the hostel and local Delhi NCR candidates are not eligible to apply for hostel. But we hear that there are good affordable PGs nearby.

Admission

CAT - 2019 - 96.39 %ile

According to me, u would rate it 7 out of 10 as it actually prepares me for the real world and makes me able to handle the situation by analysing the real life case studies in class. And knowledge about reality rather than theoritical knowledge only.

The companies coming for internships are great
The experienced faculty who came from IIMs
The experienced clubs and their guidance

Dislikes

There is bit of mismanagement experienced,
There is last minute information available at the end moment
Disclarity in information throughout the whole semester

Placement Experience:

It is okay and it is based on luck of the student more than hardwork. You also have to network super well to get into good dream companies. It is a good place to get it out of luck through ATS sysytem.

One of the strongest aspects of the institute is the faculty and the academic environment. Frequently members are generally experienced and approachable.
The teaching methodology includes case studies, presentation, group, assignments, group, discussions, projects, and practical assignments.
Another positive aspect is the exposure to corporate and professional life.

Placement Experience:

Lbsim has a structured campus placement process with participation from companies across sectors, such as consulting FMCG, IT/ITES , BFSI, marketing and operations. The institute provides students with placement preparation through aptitude test, mock interview interviews, group discussion, resume, building and corporate interaction.

MBA experience at DFS

The college is very famous for people who want to build their career in Finance domain and I was one of them so, I choose to take admission at DFS. The good aspect of the college is the college life and the fee structure which is so less that one doesn't have to be burdened about the loans for education purpose. The admission process involves, qualifying CAT and then going through group discussion, finally clearing a personal interview round will get you admission at DFS. The main reason for preferring this college was the less fee and specialisation in finance. I knew about this college prior to getting admission because some of my graduation college seniors studied here so took their guidance and advice while selecting this college....Read More

We cannot really differentiate between DFS and other private institution management the office bearers, faculties are really helpful the only shortcoming of DFS is that infrastructures sometimes we need to share the seminar room with other departments. The classrooms are Non A.C.But quality of education, guidance we get after bearing only twelve thousand per annum is really unmatched.There are people who leave IIMs and join DFS only to get value education.The writer here has left 6 IIMs (obviously not the older ones) to join DFS....Read More
