Admission:

The college needs to think nationally if not globally at attracting good talents. The selection process is too simple. The teaching is standard of in house faculty is not that great and needs lots of improvement. The overall attitude towards students need to change. At PG level the students demand respect and freedom, the college should think on these lines rather than using cctvs everwhere, mandatory attendances and many more such things. At last if the student wants to pursue a career in sales and marketing, then only choose the college. Courses like operations and systems are not at all good. But in Marketing the visiting professors are too good and are from LIBA, IIM, XLRI etc.
