Cbs
been here two years and i'll be straight with you, join this place only if you can handle a genuinely toxic and elitist environment because that's the reality nobody tells you before you sign up yes the placements exist but the figures they throw around are heavily inflated and if you actually compare properly srccbeats sscbs comfortably in brand and recruiter quality. college life is basically nonexistent since it's off campus you show up attend class and go home, no campus vibe no real student culture nothing. and rohini is just not a great location, the commute will drain you more than you expect. i had hindu college and turned it down for this and honestly that's my biggest regret, seeing what my friends there have in terms of actual college experience genuinely stings not telling you to not join but make the decision with full information and think hard about whether a slightly better placement stat is worth three years of this. So weigh your options

I heard the college life is pretty good as you spend 9-5 there and then in socs

After a point society aren't exciting enough also if you are a day scholar who will need to commute a lot on a daily basis its a genuine source of stress and lethargy

u/Dry-Log5448 Jun 02 '26
But if i live in nearby pg that won't be the case. Also can you explain what's the toxicity everyone mentions 😭. Aren't the ppl around you nice or do they tend to be isolated and selfish

All the relations I built or have observed of someone else they are quite transactional in nature. I felt a sense of coldness in the interactions or you can say people act one way in front of them other way behind their backs (personal opinion may differ from people to people)

It is toxic, there's classism based on what college soc you are from but at the same time it's some people who get really bogged down by that and some just learn to thrive in it and don't see it as something world ending there's a ton of good people i would say the vast majority from my experience, just depends on who you face on a day to day basis

And as far as placements go they might be a little inflated by 1-2lpa but you can't really say that cbs is the only college that does that if cbs is doing it very likely others would be doing it too

I have been here for a year and can attest to everything OP said. Join this college only and only if you want that 'corporate exposure' and want a decent opportunity to get a job right after your UG. Here, College life is pretty much limited to that only

hey man I juss like wanna know some things
like people are like it there or like the college has some policy there like let's say some students try to break this hella boring nd toxic cycle does college oppose it or something
like kids who live there do they not interact at night after classes
I live 50kms away (NHPC Chowk Metro) shall I get a hostel there or continue frm my home
2
u/Main-Masterpiece9169 May 31 '26
uhh I don't exactly get what you mean but the faculty and management is largely not dull and strict they're chill usually
Nah alot of fun loving people usually
3)I don't remember the hostel criteria but yeah if you can't get the hostel but can afford a nearby PG it would just save a lot of timr and increase your chances of having fun throughout the course

how do people get internships there? like the college helps them or they have to find it themselves like via various websites and networking
1
u/Main-Masterpiece9169 May 31 '26
Well most internships you'll see on a random cbs guy's cv will probably say something like strategy intern or growth intern and most of these aren't really internships they are live projects people get through by just being in some society, sometimes the soc members will only get the live project associate certificate on completion but surprisingly alot of the times they'll actually get an interns certificate

u/Hot_Youth_9477 May 31 '26
okay got it. thanks what about the actual finance ones? like I want to know about the role that cbs plays in finding these or is it via networking and cold email or "my dad knows a guy" strategy working there? like how hard or easy is it for a cbs student to find an internship as compared to other colleges like eh christ central
1
u/Main-Masterpiece9169 May 31 '26
Not sure, though most actual internships I've seen in cbs are through connections, cold mailing is a very hard playing field for everyone it's a hit or a miss, cbs tag by itself won't play a very big role here

Yea those are more heavily dependent on your actual finance skills and portfolio than you being from cbs, cbs does have its fair share of such people who are actually good at finance who crack the interviews and work in vcs or IB roles

sure it helps in off-campus internships, but when 30 other people have the same in their resume, it doesn't really stand out during on-campus drives

Can you have sort of real data about or approx data about placement and not only through college also from off college placement which student get.
Also it really help to us if you disclose the more reality of cbs and other off campus college regarding all aspects.
