A great place for future

4.3Helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is the same as the main branch of GIA in California. There isn't a huge stress on students. We can study and complete our tasks pretty easily and on time. The lab classes were conducted according to schedule, hence never putting extra burden on us. The exams aren't conducted very frequently, as the focus is more on the practical aspects, and also so that we can get much more time to prepare for them.
