    Indian mathematician Nikhil Srivastava, working at the University of California in Berkeley, is among the winners of the Prestigious 2021 Michael and Sheila Held Prize, announced last week by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Adam W. Marcus, EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne), and Daniel Alan Spielman, Yale University, are the other two winners.

    College Infrastructure

    A prestigious historic university with a strong academic reputation, it holds an NAAC A++ grade, enhancing the value of its affordable degrees. However, placement support is inconsistent—on-campus median packages are modest (~₹4.2-6.5 LPA), and distance-mode students receive no placement assistance.

    Distance MBA: affordable, flexible, job-ready with placement
