Our PGDM, PGDBA and PGCM courses are flexible and these can be pursued by both students as well as working professionals. Updated syllabus, industry-specific study material, and guidance by experts are some of the perks of choosing our distance MBA-equivalent courses. Furthermore, we also offer career guidance to our students so that they can shape their career in the right direction. Our courses are industry-specific so these make the candidates more employable. That is why over 5000 students have shown their trust in us till date. In the future, we wish to continue with our efforts of empowering those who have the zeal to receive education despite several hindrances.”
