4.5Helpful

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

I would say that this college is really good for army wards because the cost for them is a little less. For one year the fees are almost 2,89,201. And for the years its almost 781201. Which is pretty good compared to other designing colleges even though the facilities here are better. But apart from this fees, you have to pay for the books, the materials you're gonna buy, all of these you're going to have to spend extra cause they don't pay for all this. Their placement is nice. In fact, that's the major reason I joined this college. They have fashion shows and everything and you get to be a model. Apart from that, all famous companies come for recruitment like puma, marks and Spencer, Pantaloons etc. And the highest salary is 45-50k per month. They have a genuine 100% placement. They have a placement committee as well.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

Institution helps in getting educational loan where students require, The institution has been recognized with some of the best banks in India for educational loan facility, Hence fees shouldn't be an issue. also they have broken the structure into annual fees and hostel can in be paid half yearly so this reduces the burden on parents and students.
