I have a friend at Flame university and his experience at the institute has been great. Here is a brief highlight of the institute.  Academics: The academics of this college is very good and the professors are quite strict about assignments and these must be submitted by the given time. Faculties are knowledgeable and the classes conducted by them are very interactive. The combinations of major-minor are high across various subjects like business, science, humanities, performing/fine arts. Sports: The sports scenario is very good and it is mandatory for first-year students. Every week three hours of sports are compulsory for all students which occur early in the morning.  Attendance: All the students are required to maintain 85% of attendance and you may end up failing if you have a lower percentage of attendance without any valid reasons.  Hostel: There are separate hostels for boys and girls and the hostel facilities are very good and they are kept clean and organized and housekeeping is available on a daily basis.  Rules: There are some strict rules too which every student needs to follow. Nonveg is strictly prohibited inside the campus and stuffs like alcohol and cigarettes are not allowed too. And if someone is found smoking or consuming alcohol they will have to face serious consequences and may even get suspended.  Hence, Flame University can be a good choice as it provides all the modern facilities and the academic culture is nice too but there are certain strict rules like attendance which has to be followed by everyone and cannot be avoided.

One of my friends is currently pursuing his BBA degree in Communications major, thus sharing some details about the college will be easier. The placement scenario is improving each year. The batch of 2020 received 93% placement offers among top companies. Finance and Banking Sector received the highest number of offers followed by E-Commerce and Retail. The table below shows the recent placement statistics of the institute: Categories FLAME University Total Companies Visited 55 Placement Percentage 93% Highest CTC 15 LPA Average CTC 7.3 LPA Recruiting Companies CCD, Byju’s, Karvy Group, Amazon, Jaro Education, Vedanta, etc. It is certainly improving the present UG placement scenario and hopes it will continue this year to upgrade in the years ahead. The PG scenario is very different from the well-known businesses - all from Axis Bank to Zee Entertainment Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. - coming in and picking up students as new additional employees.

After Ashoka, FLAME university is one of the best liberal arts universities in India. My younger sister studied here, hence let me share some things about this university. Here you'll get the diversity of subjects at the PG level that can't be found in other colleges in India. The University has subjects such as Psychology and Philosophy, which are included in the syllabus, making it easier to appreciate the subjects that are not conventional. Their teaching system is case-based and focuses on obtaining a practical insight into the subject. Categories FLAME University Course Fee (approx.) 12.2 lakh Placement Percentage (overall) 93% Highest CTC 13-15 LPA Average CTC 7.73 LPA Recruiting Companies Jaro Education, Bloomberg Quint, HP, Byju’s, Nielsen, BirlaSoft, etc. Professors come from renowned universities and have industry experience making the classroom atmosphere a better place to learn. In Flame, both sports and cultural activities are highly sought-after and encouraged. Without a doubt, the campus itself is a great place to be, and if you find the right people, it will definitely be worth it.

For liberal undergraduate course, Ashoka University is a better choice. Ashoka University's course format is more flexible. Students can choose their major from a total of 21 per or interdisciplinary options. Ashoka University follows a rigorous pedagogy. The course structure will force you to become more creative.  FLAME offers more freedom in terms of artistic creativity. It’s easier to create and make art supported by the facilities offered at the campus itself. 

The academic life and student life varies for the course and the particular major and minor selected by the student. You should try reaching out to the recent pass-outs from your area of interest for real opinion and avoid any confusion. Academic life: The curriculum is rigorous. The curriculum of BBA has helped me with my CFA exam too. You will need to think out of the bound for research, assignments, and projects to score well (8+ CGPA).  Effective involvement in class and good scores in surprise quizzes and semester exams will add to the interest of the academics.  The liberal education taught in the first semester adds to the personality development of the student. It includes theatre, debates, sculpture, sports, dance, etc. they add skills such as communication, innovation, fitness, and stage presence. Securing passing marks is quite easy at FLAME. If you do not complicate things with faculties, bunk classes (more than 15%), or break the rules and regulations, you will not be in the position to fail. Students need to pay quite a few bucks to retake exams. Student Life: The infrastructure and dorm facilities are great.  The food served in the mess is vegetarian and the quality is average. There are small food joints outside the college campus for students who want to eat Non-vegetarian.  Students can take part in various clubs such as VAJR Consulting Club, Dance Club, FLAME Investment Lab.  The institute organizes annual Inter College Fests and Intra College Fest. Students wait eagerly for such events.  Sometimes surprise inspections of the rooms are done to check if any illegal activities are going on.  The students learn to deal and stay with people from different backgrounds and enjoy their college life. You will be among brilliant peers. The campus placements for undergraduates are not that good. However, the institute prepares the students enough to find a job on their own. The other problems that you will come across at FLAME are trivial and common for most institutions.
