Hey Shivam, Athena is a pretty good business school. I have a couple of friends who are studying there, they have already picked up pre placement offers. Also, they give multiple internships and have International Study Tours. But, the only way of knowing how good a b school is by actually visiting it and interacting with the faculty and students. Best of luck.

First of all, it is not a college as per definition, as neither is it affiliated to University of Mumbai or any other university who has jurisdiction in Mumbai nor it is AICTE approved. Further, they are offering Post Graduate Program (not degree) in management to avoid tagging as a fake status the same way IIPM operated. They are offering MBA from a university and that's the distance learning degree for which you need to give additional exam and may be fee too. Conclusion: avoid for your better future.
