Sadly the pandemic has made us study online and miss out on campus life but the various committees ensure that we still enjoy the process. There are clubs such as CIC, Marketing club, debate club, HR Matrix, finance club, etc. Pratyush is the annual fest of IES MCRC and is exciting for participants as well the audience to showcase talents and compete in events. The library in the campus has all books available but now due to the online mode, we also have access to online e-books for studies as well as other resources which can be used in competitions and general knowledge.

MHCET test is the entrance exam. The pattern is the same as other MBA entrance exams - quants, logical reasoning, and verbal. There is no GD conducted for the interview process. Instead, those students who qualify the cutoff marks are sent emails regarding the interview process and slots are provided to them with the date and time. Hence the final selection is based on entrance exams, the performance in the interview, and the overall eligibility and cumulative scores. The fees are then to be paid only then the admission is confirmed. The questions asked in the PI rounds are very basic and generally based on the student's CV such as any job experience, education, interests, projects, achievements, and why they chose to do this course. Along with this, knowledge about the topics in the news is important as they want to know how up-to-date you are about the country and also the globe.
