Admission:

After a gap year, I wanted to rejoin college but was unable to do so due to the COVID-19 global pandemic and decided to join this course, with an aim to become either a psychologist or a teacher. I learned about this course from a military officers wife who was a counsellor, herself. I applied to LPU for MA English but went for this course as I found this to be more interesting and helpful to deal with real life situations. The admission process was extremely simple and everything was done on phone and the fees was paid online.

Admission:

After obtaining my graduate degree from the School of Open Learning and having completed my Chartered Accountancy course I decided to opt for a PGDBA in Finance specialization from Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning(SCDL), Pune. I never applied for any quota for admission because my percentages were good enough to fetch me a seat in my desired college. In order to get admission for a PGDBA course in SCDL, the graduation percentage was checked along with the 10th and 12th percentages. There was no age limit for enrolling in a course in the college. It was a distance learning course so there was no counseling of any kind.

Reviewed on Sep 2, 2020

Admission:

I came across an advertisement in the newspaper about the various management courses available in the college. As I did two graduate degrees I opted for something which is on the same lines as an MBA course. After proper thought, I decided to opt for a PG diploma in Business Administration which is a two-year course. The process was simple as we had to purchase a prospectus and then after filling it, we had to submit it and deposit the admission fees. It was a very smooth process as we receive study material on the postal address which we have provided. Once we receive the books we can start our own study and do the assignments related to the subjects. After 6 months we can book the exam dates by paying the examination fees of each and every subject. So in two years, of course, we had to complete 42 assignments and 21 exams which were objective in nature.
