| The Awareness Award |
Sri Balaji Society believes in the universally cherished
values of 'Loyalty, Integrity and Hard-work'. Everything in
the organization is aimed towards the common benefit of
each and every student. However, in every system, some
negative elements may exist and they may cause a hole in
the ship to achieve selfish and ulterior motives. Therefore,
it is the duty and responsibility of each student to report to
the management about any such malpractices or anti-social
or anti-national activities which may come to their notice.
It should not be assumed that the management may be
aware of such activities. At times, even the employees
may be involved in such crimes. Those student(s) who bring
such instances to the notice of the management will be
suitably rewarded. |
| |
|
| Grievances Committee |
The committee functions independently and its recommendations will be binding on everyone in the Governing Body of Sri Balaji Society. The President and the Vice-President of the Students' Council will constitute the first tier of the Grievance Committee. |
|
| The following will constitute the Society's high power Grievance Committee:- |
| (a) |
Chairman : |
Director (Corporate Relations) |
| (b) |
Members : |
Two Directors to be nominated |
|
|
| Internship for PM & HRD Students |
Every PM & HRD Student has to undergo an internship in companies in Pune , for a duration of one month, daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. under their own travelling arrangements. This is known as 'Field Study'. Students will have to submit a detailed Field Study Report to the Institute as well as to the company concerned. This will be at the end of the first year course. These students are also required to visit few industries in a group to neighbouring states such as Karnataka and Goa under their own expenditure. However, the visit for all the students of the class will be organized by the Institute expenditure. |
|
| Company Project Studies (CPS) |
Each student of SBS is required to undergo a highly practical oriented Company Project Studies (CPS) for a duration of two months at the end of the first year of course. The Project in question shall be directly relevant to the needs of the company. This can be undertaken in any good company in any part of the country. The companies have a system of giving Pre-Placement Offer (PPO) to those students who excel in completing projects which are of utility value to the company. The entire Market Research techniques and methodologies taught in the class are supposed to be applied for the project studies. The Companies also forward an 'Evaluation Report' about the performance of the students to the Institute directly. The project will be evaluated for 100 marks out of which 50 marks will be reserved for viva.
|
| |
| The CPS will be undertaken as under :- |
| (a) Marketing, Systems & International Business : 1st May to 30th June |
| (b) Finance, PM & HRD, Operations & Telecom : 1st September to 30th October |
|
|
| Rural Project Study (RPS) |
All the students are required to undertake a rural project study on their related specialization area for a duration of two months during Feb and March in the second year of their course. This project should cover at least ten villages in depth and can be undertaken in any part of the country at their discretion but not in Pune or around .However; students from Pune district can undertake the project study around Pune. At the end of the project, a detailed project report will be submitted which will be evaluated for 100 marks. |
| |
| Appreciation / Complaints from Companies |
The students will be required to interact with the Industry experts during various workshops/seminars/training activities. They are also required to work in the Industry for the Internship/Projects as mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs. It should be noted that the students are the 'Brand Ambassadors' of the Institute. They are the opinion makers in their companies. While the appreciation from the company will promote the Institute and thereby the cause of the students; the negative reports from them will work against the interest of the student community at large. |
|
Therefore, any complaint received from the companies or the Guest Faculties will attract severe disciplinary action against the students. One such action could be that the concerned student will be placed in the 'Red List'. It implies that he / she will not be allowed to sit for the Campus Placements. |
|
| Campus Placements Eligibility Criteria |
| Eligibility Criteria for Placements | Attendance Criteria | | All the Companies | 90% and above | | 51st Company onwards | 85% - 90% | | 76th Company onwards | 80% - 85% | |
|
Besides the attendance criteria the students should not have any backlogs from the examinations. They also should not have any dues to the management. The Directors are required to certify to the effect that the student appearing for campus placements is not having any backlog and sign the curriculum vitae only after verifying the same. |
|
| Corporate Relations Committee (CRC) |
The activities of CRC include round the year efforts to arrange placements for all the batches starting from presentations to corporate, to maintaining the corporate interface and conducting various placement processes on campus. The emphasis is not only in getting students placed, but also organizing various corporate processes for the batch for wholesome learning.
SBS takes pride in preparing students for the corporate world. Students are groomed with professional and personal skills which employers expect in their future leaders. Year after year an increasing number of companies visit our campus to absorb our students. This is the affirmation of the faith of the corporate world in the ability and quality of our students and faculty.
SBS has excellent placement record for management students. MNC's and Indian companies from IT, ITES, Consultancy, FMCG, Consumer Durables, Banking and Finance, Service sector, Manufacturing, Media etc visit our campus to recruit our students.
We have an almost common placement for all the four institutes of Sri Balaji society. This not only provides a varied range of students to the company but also facilitates a healthy competition between the students of the Society. Corporate Relations Committee is a part of Corporate Relations Department. The department is headed by Director Corporate Relations of SBS in the society and the placement officers in the respective Institutes.
|
|
| Achievement Day |
We celebrate the ‘Achievement Day’ in the last week when the students complete the course to celebrate the placements and to bid farewell to the seniors. On the 'Achievement Day' of the respective institutes, the senior students receive the original appointment orders issued by the companies from the auspicious hands of the President, Sri Balaji Society and in the august presence of all the dignitaries of the Society and the juniors .To symbolize the oneness and unity of the B-schools the Directors of the Society and Institutes call upon the senior students to receive the appointment orders. This emotional farewell day is organized by the juniors as the’ Achievement Day’ and is cherished by everyone. |
|
| Examinations |
We do not have the system of categorizing any subject as supplementary. All subjects are compulsory, in which the students are expected to qualify.
|
|
| The system followed for examination / grading is as under : |
Details | Weightage | | Assignments/Presentation/Seminar | 20 % | | Mid-term examination | 20 % | | Terminal examination | 50 % | | Director's/Dean's award for attendance, class discipline and participation in co-curricular activities | 10 % | |
| |
However it is not necessary that only one examination should be held. Many examinations/presentations will be organized according to the subjects and methodology proposed by the faculty with the approval of the Director (Examinations) and the Director (Academics). Students who are part of Corporate Relations Committee may be given special marks at the discretion of the ‘High Power Committee’ which will comprise of all the Directors. In case any student fails in any subject he/she can appear for the backlog exam along with their juniors as in the case of University. A sum of Rs. 100/- will be charged as backlog fee per paper. |
|
| Marks & Grading |
The grading of the students will be done based on the marks given below : |
Marks | Grading | | 70% and above | A+ | | 65% to 69% | A | | 55% to 64% | B | | 50% to 54% | C | | Less than 50% | Fail | |
|
| Library |
We have a well-equipped Library for our students. Students are allowed to issue ten books at a time, for a period of 15 days. The Library subscribes to all the leading newspapers, periodicals and international magazines. Students, faculty members and scholars are encouraged to recommend as many books of international standards as required by them. |
|
In case the books are not returned to the Library by the due date, a fine is charged as per instructions of the institute. A refundable Library deposit of Rs. 5000/- is required to be paid by each student at the time of admission. |
|
| Hostel Facilities |
The hostel, as of now, has the capacity to accommodate 400 female students and 300 male students. The rent for hostel accommodation, which is fully furnished, will be Rs. 3,000/- (Rupees Three thousand only) per month. |
|
The hostel is a landmark in Pune and located in Tathawade
on the Mumbai - Bangalore bypass.It is inside the campus.
It provides all the facilities including a mess, a gymnasium,
a coffee shop and a shopping centre . |
|
Until one more hostel is constructed, for which action is in
hand, the hostel accommodation is provided for the first
year students only, for the duration of June to April . At
present about 1000 senior students (both boys and girls)
are day scholars. This in one way trains the students to live
in different environments which in any case they have to
do when they join the corporate world.The present
inmates of the hostel will be vacating the hostel by 30th
April 2010 i.e. before they go for their summer projects. |
|
| Mess Facilities |
Mess facilities will also be provided at a cost of
approximately Rs.2,000/- (Rupees Two Thousand) per
month. The exact mess fee and menu thereof will be
negotiated by the student body once they reach our
location and once they are selected by the students. It is
not compulsory as restaurants are also there adjacent to
the campus. So it is left to the discretion of the students.
The cost of mess facilities can also be covered from the
bank loan, although it is not required to be remitted to us. |
|
| Upkeep Of Health |
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and to maintain the same SBS provides various facilities : |
|
Gymnasium:A state of art gymnasium is there in the hostel which can be availed by the students for a nominal fee.
|
|
Sports:Though we don't have a sports ground we do have limited facilities. It is the responsibility of this committee to ensure the well-being of the participants and encourage sports through a competitive spirit in the campus. Ordinarily, in today's hectic schedule, it is quite possible that one may get stressed out. The best way to revitalize is to spend some time with 'mother nature' for which a walking track is created in the campus.
|
|
Physical Training:It is strongly felt that physical training for sometime everyday leads to energetic involvement of every student in the learning process. It also acts as a conditioner of body and mind. The concept of sound mind living in the sound body can be seen in the armed forces where the fitness of the people in all weather conditions is testified to be strong and stable. The youth of today is habituated to stay away in the night and to go fast asleep in the early morning when they are expected to go to the class with the fresh and receptive mind set. It is therefore proposed to involve the students in physical training from 6:30 to 7:30 in the morning. This aspect will be further studied in consultation with the students once they arrive at SBS after their selection. Before that the same schedule will be implemented. It is also proposed to introduce yoga classes. |
|
|
| Periodic Reports to Parents |
The Institute will furnish a Performance Report on each
student to all the parents periodically. A monthly
attendance report on each student will also be forwarded
by the Director. We insist on regular attendance of
students in classes, workshops, seminars and other co-curricular activities. Get-together's and cultural
programmes organized by the Student's Council/Institute,
should also be attended by the students as part of their
team spirit, oneness and as a course of personality
development. |
|
| Holidays & Vacation |
The students are unlikely to have holidays during the first
six months as this will be a conversion period. Classes will
also be held on Sundays. There will be no vacation period
during or after any semester. We will utilize all the days of
the year to sharpen and hone the competitive skills of the
students so that money spent by the parents leads to
building a productive career of their children. |
|
| Suggestion box - "we value your input" |
|
There is no end of learning and the scope of improvement is thus present in each and every system. To achieve towards perfection, we at SBS invite all new, innovative and creative comments, ideas, thoughts, suggestions and feedbacks. |
|
Gathering student comments through a suggestion box
can also be fruitful to understand the problems and
perspectives and to take remedial measures by the ‘High
Power Committee’.The suggestion box will be kept in each
institute and also in the hostel and the same will be opened
once in a week by the Registrar of the society and all the
inputs will be presented to the President/Principal Director regularly. Besides this ,all the students of all the institutes
are at liberty to meet any Director or the President ,Sri
Balaji Society to air any of their grievances at any point of
time.All the requests/complaints/suggestions will be given
a positive look and examined for a positive solution where
required. |
|
| Attendance |
Attending classes and learning in the class through the learned faculties is a critical step towards growth and development of students, as the skills required by the Industry are taught and to be learned in a systematic and progressive manner in the class rooms. Consistency in attendance is, therefore, a pre-requisite. Absence from class leads to discontinuity in learning and defeats the very approach of progressive learning, as the subjects are inter-connected, missing one session may lead to confusion when the next session is being conducted.
Consequently, it is not only difficult but may also put those students under tremendous pressure and in a helpless situation leading to stress, frustration and depression. This is particularly so because while a student studies about six subject per year in their graduation course, they have to study more than ten subjects in a semester in our Institutes. Moreover we hardly have much holidays for the students to cover up the past curriculum. We have come across quite a few cases of such students becoming psychiatric cases because of the pressure on them. Therefore, attending classes regularly is a requirement of any student who joins a good management institution. Similarly, studying at home/hostel everyday will lead to expected growth and development of students.
We plan to hold our training / classes for 365 days in a year. We do not believe in the concept of holidays. Each and every class is critical for learning in a continuous manner. Therefore, no request on the account of medical grounds for exemption from attendance will be accepted. Parents are advised to please understand the medical problems of the children who have a medical history and not to encourage them to take up our stressful management programs which are very hectic in nature and are held for prolonged hours throughout the year because such students undergo lot of peer pressure and tension leading to possible depression. They are also unable to focus on studies and are in a fix of not being in a position to express their difficulties either to the parents or to the management, as the requirement of the learning process is stringent in nature and cannot be changed. The parents should therefore understand the realities and care for the children instead of taking the matter lightly.
However, only a minimum of 80% attendance is compulsory. Those who maintain 95% of attendance will be awarded an attendance incentive of 5% marks per subject. Those who fail to give 80% of attendance will be placed in 'Red List' and may not be allowed to appear in the examination. We may mention it here that one should not get disturbed in the minds and should understand that attendance criteria provides sufficient cushion as the permissible limit of absence is 20% in a year and if one calculates the total days on which one can legitimately be absent from the classes on account of sickness or other important contingencies will be more than 20 days in a year provided the student attend all the classes regularly from the beginning and save the attendance without wasting the same when they are absolutely in normal conditions . To be away from the class for casual reasons or carelessness and then to remain absent on account of medical grounds or other contingencies cannot therefore be justified. Because in a professional course, training will have to be undergone. It is not a matter of writing examination, it is also more of conditioning the mind, body and systems.
No one, including the Director is empowered to grant attendance on medical ground or on any other ground, as one who is not physically present or involved in academic activity can't be marked 'present' in the class as it will be illegal. Only those who are present in the class or involved in academic activity under the direction of the Dean/ Director will get attendance. However, any one having any medical problem should promptly avail medical assistance and those who have urgent family commitments can also visit their family. We, as an institute cannot restrict the movement of the students. There is no system of leave with attendance. Grant of leave means permission to remain away from the campus on personal reasons which cannot entitle grant of attendance.
|
|
|
| Discipline |
Students are trained for bright future corporate careers through various scientific grooming processes which also involves healthy lifestyles. The word 'Discipline' for us implies adherence to civilised life, following the code of conduct. Therefore, strict discipline will be an essential part of the training process and the defaulters will be dealt with appropriately. |
|
| For example: - | | (a) | Mishaps involving students driving two-wheelers have reported in the past in our Society just like in other parts of the country. It could have perhaps been avoided, had those students were wearing good crash helmets. Therefore, wearing of crash helmets by the students riding two-wheelers and by pillion riders is compulsory. Students violating this rule will be fined with Rs.1000/- in the first instance and more stringent punishment will be taken on subsequent incidents. The fine thus collected will go to 'Students Party Fund'. | | | | (b) | Carrying of mobile phone to classes is strictly prohibited. Incase a student carries the mobile to the class a sum of Rs. 1000/- will be fined. Besides that, the mobiles found inside the academic block will be confiscated and kept in the permanent custody of the Director. Even the sim card will not be given. They will, however, be returned to the students on completion of the course. Parents are advised to call their children at night after the class hours but before 10 pm. No mobiles will be used in the hostel after 10 pm. Any hostelite found using the mobile in the hostel after 10 p.m will be punished. Their mobile will be confiscated and also a fine of Rs. 100/- will be imposed. The aim is that the students should study at night properly and should not disturb their roommates. | | | | (c) | 'Silence hours' will be maintained strictly after 09:30 pm in the hostel. All the students of the hostel should get into the rooms and 'silent hours' should be maintained more strictly even in the rooms. The privacy of each roommate should be respected. No music or watching of movies during 'silent hours' in the room is permissible. Defaulters will be fined heavily. | | | | (d) | All the students are expected to be in their room by 09:30 pm. Late night parties or loitering around at odd hours, on any account both inside the Campus and even outside is not allowed. Similarly boys and girls moving into each others' hostel or private accommodation will attract rustication from the institute. In this connection, it should be mentioned that students living in private accommodation adjacent to the campus should note that our culture and traditions do not permit boys and girls meeting at odd hours, even for the purpose of group / combined studies/preparation for group presentations/ assignments is not permissible. Therefore, if any complaint is received from anyone or the housing society, the delinquent students will be severely punished. One such punishment is “Red List”. | | | | (e) | Students are expected to behave well like gentlemen and gentle ladies not only in the classrooms, but also throughout their stay with us, even when they are in their private rooms. We demand decent life style including in the maintenance and up-keep of the rooms. | | | | (f) | Students are also expected to carry at least one pair of their traditional dress. Traditional dress means those dresses, which one generally wears as per his / her region, religion, customs and traditions, on festive occasions. The traditional dress will be worn for the pooja and also for the induction ceremony. The best traditionally dressed male and female candidate will receive a cash award of Rs. 5,000/- each. | | | | (g) | Students are not allowed to go and stay out of the hostel. If any student has to be away from his / her room after 9.30 p.m. or want to go out of station for any personal reason, he / she should take written permission from the Director. Permission for that is a must and that will be granted subject to parents' request to the Director which should be done through a fax followed by a call at least 3 days in advance. The Director, in turn, will properly verify the request and may or may not recommend the 'Night out Pass' to the Rector of the Hostels. However, Night-outs will be restricted to the bare minimum, say once in three months. Nomination of the local guardian, if any, should be made by parents through a letter to be addressed to the Director before 1st July 2010. | | |
| (h) |
Ragging of any kind is strictly prohibited. Anyone indulging in ragging will be dealt with 'Zero Tolerance' and will be expelled as this has been prescribed as a minimum punishment by the Supreme Court of India. The Supreme Court has also categorically mentioned that harassing fresher physically and mentally will be booked by the Police, expelled from the college and also denied future admission. Therefore, no one should allow others to rag them. If anyone tries to rag any student the same should be reported immediately to the Director. |
| |
|
| (i) |
Students are expected to be dressed smartly and to follow the dress code meant for various occasions. Students should never enter the class rooms/academic block in casuals/chappals. |
| |
|
| (j) |
Students are expected to be inside the classrooms well before the commencement of the class in formals. Those who reach for the class late will not be allowed to enter the class. Similarly after entering the class they are not allowed to leave the class till the session gets over. However, in case of contingencies such as on medical ground the student concerned is expected to inform the faculty before leaving the academic block. Taking permission from the visiting faculty/ faculty taking the class itself is not sufficient. In case any student leaves the class after giving attendance without permission from the full time faculty in charge, he/she will be dealt with disciplinary action. Students staying in the hostel can leave the hostel for medical treatment any time with a roommate with prior permission from the Rector, Cluster Friend and Friend of the Floor. The ambulance, kept at standby can be used for all the emergencies. |
| |
|
| (k) |
Boys are expected to be clean shaven every day except those who grow beard on religious ground. Side locks should be kept trimmed and short. Students are not allowed to sport a long and trendy hair style. Girls are expected to tie their hair neatly. No flicks are allowed to be maintained. |
| |
|
| (l) |
Student Managers are expected to use the stair case in the academic blocks and leave the elevators vacant for the professors. |
| |
|
| (m) |
Student Managers are expected to address their seniors as 'Sir' and 'Ma'am' respectively. |
| |
|
| (n) |
Students are expected to relax and sleep in the night at least from 12 to 5 am. They are supposed to study before 12 at night and after 5 am in the morning, which is sufficient to maintain excellent academic record, as learning is a continuous process and should be under taken regularly. Laptops should also be switched off after 12 at night. Proper sleeping helps to remain fresh, creative, active and promotes out of box thinking. |
| |
|
| (o) |
Students might bring their two wheelers for the purpose of corporate visits. |
| |
|
| (p) |
Hostel rooms are expected to be kept clean by the occupiers. The maids are at service for cleaning the toilets and the corridors ONLY. Students are supposed to switch off lights and fans completely when they are not in the room and ensure that water taps are also closed. In case the lights and fans are not switched off a fine of Rs. 1,000/- will be imposed. They should keep their belongings in the almirah and keep the keys with them. Management will not be responsible for the loss of any valuables or cash. Students are advices not to carry any valuable ornaments.
|
| |
|
|
|
| Gifts/Presents |
No gifts/ presentation of any kind are to be given to
Director(s)/Faculty / Staff for any reason whatsoever. We
are doing our duty and personally we don't expect any
gratification. If any kind of gratitude is to be expressed, it
should be done by presentation of a book in management
science and the book should be presented to the college
library. At best, one 'thank you card' can be given. Above all, if you remember us as an alumni, that is more than
sufficient. |
| |
| Assessment of the Behavior, Conduct and
Integrity of Student: Endorsement in PG Diploma |
The industry at times asks us for references and opinion
about the behavior, conduct, integrity and suitability of
the students even after their passing out , for specific jobs/
placements. They expect us to field the candidates with
right attitude and attributes alone. This is not only for
campus placements but also generally through out the
career of the students when they change the jobs from one
company to other. Traditionally the Dean/ Director of the
institute is a reference point. We are also required to sign
testimonials whenever a student wants to go for higher
studies abroad. As time passes we have found it difficult to
recollect the attributes of the individual students.
Therefore, it has been decided that hence forth we will
suitably add a column in the Post Graduate Diploma of each
student to state his/her 'Character and Leadership
Qualities' assessed by the institute and record our opinion.
The grading will be Exemplary / Very Good / Good /
Satisfactory / Unsatisfactory. The duplicate copy of the
diploma will be a reference point for us in the future. We
are sure that our students will behave in a mature manner
exhibiting positive attributes and leadership qualities,
contributing to their growth and development and enabling
us to give highest grading. |
| |
| Compulsory Breakfast: |
It is noticed that students are generally not taking
Breakfast before classes which is not good for their health.
Probably, they get up late and rush to the class which
starts at 8 or 9 a.m. It has therefore been decided that
students will have to be forced to take breakfast and they
will not be allowed to leave the class, once the classes
have started. To ensure this, the only option open is to
charge a fee for breakfast and to make them available in
time. A sum of Rs.30/- per day will be charged on account
of Breakfast along with the Tuition Fee. |
| |
| Banking Facility |
The ATM centre of the Axis Bank is located very close
to the campus. This facility can be availed by the
students. Therefore, those from outstations are advised
to open their account with Axis Bank so that their ATM
cards can be functional here. |
| |
| Students Council |
We have a powerful 'Students' Council' which is involved in organising a lot of co-curricular activities such as cultural events, parties, picnics and so on, as we believe that academics alone cannot promote the overall / personality development. These events formally organised by the institute / students' council will be attended / participated by all students. The students' council also exercise authority in imposing discipline in the campus and in promoting student welfare activities. To be a member of the council is an honour. Students for these prestigious posts are selected based on their performance and contribution to the institute. |
| |
| Auditorium |
We have two Auditoriums of 800 seats and 1000 seats
respectively each having dedicated multimedia support,
centrally air conditioned and acoustics designed by BOSE |
| |
| Classrooms |
We have fan-shaped class rooms and a ceiling mounted LCD's. Each classroom has a capacity to accommodate more than 60 students. In addition SBS has a well equipied seminar/ conference hall for various programmes and interactions organized in the campus.
It is the duty of the students to maintain cleanliness in the classroom. |
|
| Computer Lab |
Computer lab is well-equipped with branded PC's adequately supported by 10 mbps (1:1) leased lines for internet connectivity. It is also equipped with a wide range of licensed system software and applications software. The entire campus is connected with Wi-Fi network. Computer labs with workstations connected to the internet are available for the use of the students. Instructors are also regularly available to assist students in planning and implementing their projects. |
|
| Class Co-ordination & Class Discipline |
Class discipline will be maintained strictly. Each class will have
two students who will be selected as class representatives and
another two who will be a part of the Institute's Discipline
Committee. They will report to the Professor-in-Charge on a
day-to-day basis and whenever necessary directly to the
Director. Students who have any problem or grievance can also
directly approach the Professor-in-Charge/Director/Students
Council/Grievances Committee. All the issues related to
academics in the institute may be referred to the Director,
Director (Academics) or Dean and issues related to
examinations will be referred to the Director (Examination).
Students can meet the Director / Directors of Society and the
President of Sri Balaji Society on any issue with prior
appointment. |
|
| Seminars and Workshops |
The seemingly boundless energy of the students is not just channelized into the demanding activities of the academic curriculum, they are also encouraged to participate in varied activities depending upon their interests.
|
|
Debates, seminars, Book reviews and quizzes go on round the year, honing the communication skills and enhancing the knowledge of the future managers. Workshops are organized from time to time to facilitate the growth of the students and equip them for the challenges of the corporate world. |

They may be periodically inspected by nominated staff members and Directors. The Institute, however, cannot take responsibility for their personal behaviour or misconduct at any time outside its premises. Students are expected to devote their time to build a corporate career by maintaining self-discipline. |
|
| Medical Fitness |
| The following medical requirements need to be met: |
|
| (a) | All students should vaccinate themselves against common diseases like Hepatitis, Chicken pox and Typhoid prior to entering the college. | | | (b) | Dengue and Malaria are common problems in Maharashtra. Prevention is the only way to encounter these diseases; simple measures which need to be taken seriously are: | | | • | Mosquito nets | | • |
Mosquito repellant's and Mats |
| These diseases are not contagious (spreading directly from one person to another) | | | | (c) | Certain diseases like diarrhea do occur during the rainy seasons. Again prevention should be the aim. The hostel has 2 messes and a cafeteria which cater to the students. The hygiene aspect in these places are any time better than outside eating places. Hence, it would be the student's prerogative to choose where he/she wants to eat. | | | (d) | It has been noticed in the past that some students have had serious medical problems and have not revealed the same during admission. It is advisable that if anyone has any of these serious problems they should not take admission in our institute because the institute cannot take care of their medical problems. However, if anyone develops this kind of illness during the course, it should be brought to the notice of the institute doctor. | | | The kinds of diseases are: - | | • | Epilepsy | | • | Gall-bladder/kidney Stones | | • | Heart Problems (Rheumatic/Valvular Heart Diseases) | | • | Asthma | | • | Old History of Tuberculosis | | • | Blood pressure | | • | Depression/Mood Disorders | | • | Severe jaundice in the past | | | | (e) | The society offers only O.P.D. Medical Facilities to the students at stipulated time daily. Student having medical problems should use this facility to the best. | | | (f) | Hospitalization is advised in case of any severe medical emergencies. Students in Medical distress are expected to take care of themselves supported by their roommates if they are non-hostelites. If brought to the notice of the society, the society will render all the assistance as required and possible but the hospitalization charges will have to be eventually borne by the students/parents. | | | (g) | Students are not prevented from going to any Doctor/Hospital if they feel so. However, even in such cases, they should update the institute doctor for validation of the treatment offered and to prevent exploitation where necessary. | |
|
| Management oF Quota Seats |
15% of the seats are allotted to candidates who qualify the eligibility criteria at the discretion of the President, Sri Balaji Society with twice the prescribed fee. Allotment of these seats will be made only after declaration of the results for admission from all the selection centres. Those seeking management quota seats should mention the same in the application form and only the candidate or the parents are permitted to communicate directly with the management. Third party interference will disqualify the candidate. We have not appointed any agent and we will not accept the recommendations of any one.
Therefore, paying money to any agent who may claim and act as if they are very close to the management or any one closer to the management will be doing so at their risk. Such dangerous people do exist, and in fact they even take advances giving invalid guaranty for admission .Such people simply gamble. In case the student is selected on his/her merit they will say that they got the admission. In case the candidate is not selected they may or may not return the money .In most of the cases they vanished. We have reports from the past that many were cheated. Therefore, we caution everyone not to depend on such characters, notwithstanding their positions, status or affiliations to anyone as many cases of cheating have been reported in the past.
