After thorough training and guidance at BFCMT, the students become the most employable management candidates and thus placed in leading organizations such as Jaro education, ITC, AIM India, Yes Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank, Liberty, Amul, The Princeton Review and so on. "Each student pursues his/her degree with a motive, whether it is grabbing a job or learning entrepreneurial skills. And, we at BFCMT are accountable to focus on both," claims Dr. Dhaliwal. The institute boasts of Industry Interactive Entrepreneurship Cell (IIEC), which takes necessary initiatives like organizing panels, lectures, and breakfasts with entrepreneurs, networking events, visits to a start-up incubator, invite speakers and so on. Recent speakers include Amit Mishra (Mentor, Govt. Startup Advisor, New Delhi), Vikas Mittal (AGM NABARD) and R.D Singla (Sr. Manager PNB), just to name a few.

Matchless Placement Record

Offering a full-time two-year MBA course in four fields of specialization viz. marketing, retail, human resource and finance, the institute renders a good balance of theoretical and practical training to the students. The team of efficient and experienced teachers at BFCMT uses innovative teaching methodologies in the classrooms along with motivating the students for regular industry visits and taking up industry-based live projects in every semester, which is a compulsory part of the curriculum. Affiliated with Punjabi University, the institute believes in continuous evaluation of the students through written test followed by Group discussions and Personal interviews, which are done by a special panel including Industry and Academia Experts.

The students of BFCMT also benefited from the unique Stipend based internship projects, which fill the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge by introducing them to the realm of the corporate environment.
