Hello Nishar Ahmed, I have checked different sources of information but I have not come across in any of them master of business administration as a course been offered by Potti Sriramulu Telugu University. This university is a sort of cultural promotion University and offers many courses even at post graduation level in different areas of liberal arts or performing arts. 

     It however offers one course called post graduate Diploma in travel and tourism which is a bit different from its mainstay. Hence it's actually difficult to offer any comments about career prospects after MBA since this is not even offered by this university. 

Best wishes to you.

Hello Nishar Ahmed, PSTU at Hyderabad and Bhatkhande Sanskriti University (earstwhile Music Institute) at Lucknow, both are fundamentally dedicated to promotion of performing arts. Both institutions offer certificate, undergraduate, post graduate and PhD in performing arts. 

     Unfortunately in this field there is no concept of placements and recruiters making beeline for lapping up graduating students. 

These students can utilise training and education to carve out a niche for themselves in due course of time or seek very few jobs on offer in this field. 

In view of the foregoing, it can be said that a student joining any of these two eminent institutions should not do so with the aim of getting job offer after graduation but with pursuit of acquiring skills in these performing arts.

Best wishes to you.

Hello Nishar Ahmed, Potti Sreeramulu University was formed in 1985, but not with this name. This came about after some years. It's located in Hyderabad now the capital of Telangana and erstwhile capital of complete Andhra Pradesh. It was basically formed with the intention and aim of serving Telugu speaking people not only in India but outside India also and hence it has a distance learning faculty also. It was fundamentally and instrumentality of the state for promotion of Telugu language literature history culture visual and performing arts etc. meaning it dealt in basically of field of liberal arts and literature. The university obtained the present name only in the year 1998. It offers various courses right from certificate to undergraduate to post graduate and even doctoral thesis but all related in this area of liberal arts. 

     As a result of this avowed aim, the courses that it offers are not available to the modern industry and hence the placements of students is not what we see in different colleges offering professional courses. Unfortunately there is no data available us to which companies or recruiters come to this university for blessing students in their industry or organisation. In majority of the cases students have to find their own way to get a job after passing out from this university.

Best wishes to you.
