    Academics

    The course I am doing is called pgdm (post graduation diploma in management) the reason I selected this program is because it provides a better understanding of the work space that we are going to share in the future. The curriculum is also updated on a frequent basis

    College Infra

    I am currently doing my pgdm course here and the course as far as my knowledge is little bit hectic,not that you can't handle it but it's a little bit hectic in nature. The facilities are enough and more in the college. We have a good range of facility in Rajagiri with proficiency in their own field. As it is a pg college the amount of attention to each child may be not that much, but that's how the program usually goes in any college. About the food, the food served is very good and up to the mark for me and the living spaces are clean.

    Campus Life

    Overall the campus life is pretty balanced but to be Frank it is a little hectic. We will have to adjust with the new culture which will be a little difficult initially but will get used to it in the end.

    Placements

    The college provides with adequate placements and internships. It helps us to be more and more competitive and helps and supports us to achieve our goals. Almost 80 percent of students gets their placements gets good packages.

    Value For Money

    The pgdm program costs around 7.5 Lakh which is just the tuition fees and then as it is a residential program there is additional cost for the hostel facility which is not bad and worth it and the amenities provided is adequate.
