The fee structure for PGP-DSBA is 4.25 lakhs + GST for 11 months classroom program.In this amount tuition fee, LMS access and learning material are included. And since the duration of the program here is not more than 1 year generally, there is no such option for hostel. Also, there is no such provision of scholarship for any category, merit based or on annual income. So, even I didn't get any scholarship here. But yes, our college has tie-ups with several banks So that whose annual income is less can avail the educational loan facility at competitive terms from the partner bank or financer like HDFC Credila, Avanse, and Axis Bank.

Since I opted for classroom program which was PGP-DSBA, the time duration was just 11 months. And we used to for classroom learning on weekends. Talking about the infrastructure, I must say that it is good enough. The campus is fully digital and there us advanced learning management system. Also, time to time, career fair were organised in various cities for us to connect with industry opportunities. Apart from this, several webinars, career camp, career fest are organised. Moreover, here only education related and career related events were conducted and not other events like celebration of different festivals, fresher's party, farewell party, important day's celebration or other cultural fest.
