Remarks :
After I did my Bachelors in Information Technology, I started working immediately in Gurgaon. But after working for four years and switching two companies I realized that if I want a salary hike and a higher position I need to brush up on my skills and also learn some more skills as per industrial requirements. So when I searched for such PG courses I came across this Great Learning academy. When I did some more research I came to know that they provide online learning and certification is given by famous recognized universities and guides for better job opportunities. Amid this ongoing pandemic it was a relief to find such a good option to upgrade knowledge. Admission process is purely online on the official website, first the online application form was filled, then I went through a screening call with the admission director's office. Then I got an offer letter, I paid the fees and secured my seat.
