FAQ's

• One-year programs have been accepted by the Indian industry for sometime now, and students pursuing the one-year program format do not lose out in any manner in terms of salary or designation. Besides, even after completing a two-year program, companies often put employees through their in-house induction program. In this scenario, it then becomes a three-year program, which is not productive either to the organization or the individual.
