How is SRCCs GBO programme? How are the placements and the faculty? What is the course structure like?
According to the students of SRCC, the GBO is a really underrated and underappreciated course, but has a potential to be considered one of the top management courses in India. The course started with an inclination towards international management. There are few benefits to the course.
- SRCC has a brand value. It is one of the best commerce colleges in the country.
- The Faculty members are well experienced.
- Every faculty associated with GBO has excelled in his or her field.
- Lectures on Communication and International trade also take place.
- The Principal takes classes on Financial Management.
- Taking a Management course is an investment which would give a proper return in the future.
- With a fee of 80,000 per semester and students getting a salary package of 9.5 lakhs is a decent offer.
GBO, therefore will for sure provide a platform to start off your career but it depends on how you modify yourself and enhance your skills to get maximum benefits.

The program will be a unique experience and expand your knowledge base efficiency although the degree itself might not be very useful.
What is the difference between IIFT Delhi and IIFT Kolkata in terms of quality of education, study environment, and placements?
Here are a few factors that differentiate IIFT Delhi and IIFT Kolkata campuses.
- Location is certainly a differentiating factor between the Delhi campus and the Kolkata campus. Students of Delhi campus get more exposure due to the proximity to the mainstem industry and to Gurgaon’s Cybercity. But the student body of IIFT Kolkata goes the extra mile to make sure this is changing.
- Although the faculty of the Delhi campus is more diverse, the environment on Kolkata campus is more conducive for research.
- The Delhi campus has the WTO center, while there is a Center for North Eastern Studies (CeNEST) on the Kolkata campus.
- Although it’s not often talked about, there is a differentiation between placements at both campuses. However, IIFT Kolkata is catching up quickly in terms of placement numbers.
As established earlier, the Delhi campus has its advantages, but IIFT Kolkata is striving hard to bridge the gap.
Who are the best professors at IIT Madras?
Even though he has retired from IIT Madras, I would like to name V. Balakrishnan sir from the Physics Department as the answer to this question. He is one of the most respected faculty members of all time at IIT Madras.
Sir’s knowledge of Physics is unparalleled. It is absolutely stunning how he used to link the seemingly disparate aspects of the natural world. You can watch his lectures on Classical Mechanics on NPTEL and Youtube. Sir acknowledged and answered the queries of all his students. Not only that, he took those simple questions and slightly modified them, thus leading his students to understand deep and profound concepts.
Sir’s classes ignited new thoughts in his students’ minds, and led them to those answers which they never realized they needed. No one wanted to miss any of his classes, which speaks volumes about his teaching.
