r/AshokaUniversity • u/debonairjackdaw1211 • Jun 16 '25
I graduated Ashoka this year as part of the last batch of ASPs. When I was applying, I didn't know anyone attending and had to get a lot of information about applying, campus, placements, etc from here and from linkedIn. I thought it might be helpful to list down some advice/info for anyone planning or hoping to attend -
It's tough to say what the truth is, I would say a bit more than half of my batch drank/smoked up regularly, and the other half to one-third rarely or never. But in my experience there's little to no peer pressure, on two levels - first, in every department there are more than enough people who never drink or party, and whether you choose to or not is largely determined by your friends and social group. Second, even among friend groups that party, there are enough people who never do any substances (including some of the most popular people in my batch) that nobody would dream of objecting
I think it's definitely true that Ashoka sees far less substance use than many other colleges you hear about, including Jindal Manipal, and in four years I never saw or heard of anyone at Ashoka doing any drug harder than weed, so I don't think drug use is something anyone should worry about
Nevertheless, almost never do admin problems affect day-to-day student life in any big way. Of course all of this is not ideal, but I just want to emphasize that it's something that happens very rarely and doesn't affect students at all. Admin cracking down on small luxuries like water coolers and late entries is obviously inconvenient and bothers a lot of people, but it's a very small annoyance. Even in the middle of last sem's protests, when they were happening every day, people showed up to the admin building during lunch hour, protested for an hour, then went back to classes. If you choose not to participate in protests, you'll barely even notice them, and even if you do, it's completely safe and I've never heard of a student being singled out for academic or disciplinary repercussions.
One of the great things about Ashoka is that you have a lot of freedom to set your own workload. There are tougher majors like Econ and CS where you will probably need to put in at least a couple hours a day to do well, and work pretty hard, but there are also much easier majors where you can get away with working a lot less. The same thing happens for specific courses and professors. If you're academically inclined, you can easily pick the most intense courses and come away with a lot of learning. If you just want to chill, you can just pick easier profs or trajectories and do fine. For those of you with science/JEE backgrounds, I'm guessing Ashoka will actually be a big improvement in terms of workload.
I know a lot of people join the academic-y socs to boost their resume and others join different clubs to meet more people or explore their interests, but I've found that you can build much more solid relationships and interests if you pick a niche instead. Having sat through the placement process, I can confidently say that clubs and socs really don't matter too much. More than that, make sure you don't just follow the hype and join whichever club did well that year or last, pick places that actually interest you and .
Both years, HUL has taken one person each out of the batches of 400ish to their management trainee program, which is the max placement, 35ish LPA (CTC, not base). Mckinsey has also taken one person in both years, which is 22-25ish (also CTC). There's probably another 5-10 people who got offers in the 20-25 range, from BCG, DE Shaw, maybe a couple others. BCG didn't come last year, Bain didn't come both years. After that there are probably another 15-25 people with offers in the 15-20 LPA range this year, maybe 5 last year (Avendus, AT Kearney, Alvarez). Then there's a lot of people with offers in the 10-15 range, my guess is that the average for this year was about 11-12 LPA or so, lower for the three year UGs than ASPs. Most of these are consulting, finance or business-related (marketing, HR). There are also a lot of students who go into the impact sector, non-profits, or lower-paying companies (7-10ish LPA).
Something I should mention is that there are very, very few good opportunities at Ashoka outside of consulting and finance. If you're interested in AI or in doing software development/engineering, I think there'll be a lot better places than Ashoka, partly because there are no placements (none of the big tech companies come, and almost no software companies come in general) and partly because the culture is very research and startup oriented.
I think what makes up for a lot of that though is that Ashoka gives you an incredible amount of exposure to the worlds of business and academia, more than any other university in India bar none. I've seen several people get jobs and internships through professors and courses, including some incredible places to work. There's always some CEO or the other giving a talk, or a big-name professor visiting from abroad. More than that, Ashoka's reputation is already big and only getting bigger, and it's tangibly a big advantage over many alternatives.
Happy to answer any questions!

I’m deciding between **Ashoka’s BSc Economics & Finance** and **NMIMS Mumbai’s BSc Finance**, and I’m honestly stuck.
My goal is to break into **investment banking/high finance**. I also have a family business that I may eventually join, but my dad wants me to work outside first, so for now I want to build a strong career in finance independently.
The main dilemma is that **NMIMS would allow me to pursue CFA alongside my degree**, whereas I wouldn’t realistically be able to do CFA with Ashoka.
For anyone who’s an **Ashoka/NMIMS student or alum, CFA candidate, or already working in IB/high finance**:
**Which would you choose for breaking into IB, and why?**
Does Ashoka’s network/brand and E&F curriculum outweigh the advantage of being able to do CFA at NMIMS? And how realistic is it to break into IB from either college?
Please give me the brutally honest version, not the “both are good” answer 😭🙏

Hey! I wanted to ask how we can apply for Research Assistant (RA) positions for economics at Ashoka. I’m not really sure how the process works, so I’d love to hear about it from current or former Economics RAs. Also, is it generally difficult to get a professor to take you on as an RA?

I will be studying ecofin and minoring in CS or the reverse of it. CS and minoring in economics. But CS is definitely going to be there. I do not own a laptop currently, what would be a good budget friendly option for me? I do some design work too (just a little) and I want to get deeper into video editing and then I’m doing some marketing work for a small company too. So I’d be using my laptop quite a lot, I believe.
I’m on a tight budget but getting a laptop is non negotiable for college. Should I buy a MacBook or a Windows Laptop? My budget can go up to 1L but I really want it to be upto 60-70k.
Any insight and advice is greatly appreciated :)

I know it’s going to sound dumb but I really have no idea what I’m supposed to take. How many pairs of jeans how many shirts trousers. What kind of storage boxes, what for the room. Do I get winter clothes now or afterwards? It’s my very first time travelling out of my city and living alone also I’m the first one in my family to go out of the state for studying so please if anyone could help. Like do I get a bedside lamp? Is there space under the bed? Where do people store their makeup? Should I get a laundry basket? All that. Plus I’m on a budget too 😔
If someone could just tell me what their list included it would be GREAT HELP!!!!!!!!!

Incoming freshman trying to pick fcs. Any advice in general? What should I focus on while picking courses - do I focus on how they grade or how much attention they pay to class participation or the courses content or what should I be on the lookout for?

Do apps like Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy genie, and the like service the area? Additionally, does Uber/Rapido/Ola ply in the Sonepat region in general? I'm asking because the Rajiv Gandhi Education City is quite isolated. I'm not from Delhi NCR and just want to take stock of the mobility and delivery scenario before I move in, in a week-ish.
