One thing worth checking before you compare these against another college: fees here cover tuition. Hostel, mess and one-time charges are usually separate, and they can add a lot over four years. Ask for the all-in figure.
Specialisations you can choose
Most programmes here run several specialisations — the branch you actually study. Post Graduate Diploma has the widest choice with 15, including Post Graduate Diploma in Language For Advertisement, Marketing & Media, Post Graduate Diploma in Guidance & Counseling, Post Graduate Diploma in Personnel Management, Post Graduate Diploma in Office Management, Post Graduate Diploma in Human Right and Duties and Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Programming.
This matters more than the college's overall rank. Teaching quality, lab facilities and which companies recruit all vary between branches at the same college. Pick the branch first, then check whether this college is strong in it.
How to choose between these courses
- Start with the subject, not the college. A course you do not enjoy will be a long few years, whatever the campus is like.
- Check the entrance exam. Each programme has its own route in, and the exam decides your timeline for the whole year.
- Add up the real cost. Total fees plus hostel, mess and living expenses — then look at scholarships and education loans.
- Ask about branch-wise placements. College-wide figures hide big differences between branches.
