Course Curriculum Overview

Faculty members in our college are great. All teachers have deep knowledge. They all are reachable and helpful. I am satisfied with their teaching style. Because I am Japanese and education style is different from the Japanese one. I feel happy to learn in India. I had zero knowledge about psychology before starting the course, but now I have learnt a lot. I think I will be ready to become a counsellor by the time I graduate.

College Events

Facilities provided by the college are really good. Quality and cost of food served is great. Classrooms, library, and play area are kept clean. We enjoyed the street play and basketball match also. Our college is closed due to Covid-19, and we are missing a lot of opportunities. However, we are satisfied with it.
