Student life at KSOM is high-spirited, adventurous, fun filled, a little pressurizing, but still enjoyable. Every morning for KSOM students comes with a fresh goal to work upon and a new idea to improve. The magnificently tall infrastructure and well-equipped classrooms give KSOM an edge over the competition. There are loads of presentations, assignments and surprise quizzes to keep students busy and active. While there is plenty of focus on academics, students are also encouraged to develop their extracurricular abilities. The various types of groups and clubs help students exhibit their true potential. ‘Kolosseum,’ KSOM’s annual management festival becomes a testing ground for students to display their leadership, multi-tasking, coordination and teamwork abilities.

Everything that is done in KSOM is based on the following vision:
To create an advanced centre of professional learning of international standards where knowledge and excellence shall be relentlessly pursued, unfettered by the barriers of nationality, language, cultural plurality and religion.
The mission of the school is to impart quality education with a global perspective. All management students are encouraged to inculcate leadership qualities with a futuristic vision. The institute encourages and supports creative abilities of students, urging them to cultivate the habit of continuous learning. There is equal amount of focus on healthy practices, morality and ethics in the professional life.
The vision and mission of KSOM goes a long way in helping cultivate future marketing leaders of the country. Being one of the oldest private business schools in India, many of the KSOM students have excelled in their respective fields and have gone on to assume senior management positions in reputed organisations, head big companies or have started their own successful ventures.
KSOM is well aware of the importance of globalisation when it comes to cultivating future marketing experts. Towards this end, it has entered into academic collaborations and partnerships with over 105 world-class universities from different parts of the world. As a part of these exchange programs, the institute also receives exchange students from the foreign partner universities.
It’s not without reason that KSOM is counted among the best business schools for marketing. Considering the number of marketing-focused activities it undertakes each year, including many Marketing Projects, Student Mandis, Student Haats, Sales Fairs and Conclaves, it is easily ahead of the competition in terms of the exposure provided to the marketing students. Resultantly, a great multitude of well-known marketing organisations come to KSOM every year for recruitment, including top-notch FMCG and other companies like ITC, Asian Paints, Mother Dairy, GSK, Dabur, Palmolive and Colgate. Going by the records available for the 2014-15 placement season, the highest salary offered to a KSOM marketing student was in the vicinity of ₹ 13.5 lakh per annum.
