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.
