PGDM Course information, the best college.

Placements: The batch has been placed at nearly 65%. The best packages are spectacular, while the average is mediocre. Companies in the retail, IT, and financial sectors hire, and internships were more widely available, but not always of high caliber. These college companies are not providing any rules or offering.
