I believe that self study is the key to a better career for a student, says Prasad Rajendra Pol

By: Prasad Rajendra Pol

I have given the MHCET entrance test. For the preparation of MHCET, I didn’t join any coaching centre. I did self-study only. I referred some books to gain knowledge about the types of questions asked in the exam.

After completing 10th, I had already planned that I will be doing computer engineering. But the main question was from where should I do it. After doing all the research, I finally decided to do it from Vidyalankar Polytechnic which is one of the best colleges to do Diploma.
After completing the diploma, I tried to get admission at Vidyalankar Institute of Technology for the degree but I did not get it. At that time I decided that if I am going to pursue my higher studies it will be from Vidyalankar only. After graduation, I decided to do PGDM or MBA/MMS.
While searching I came to know that Vidyalankar has started the PGDM course. I decided to go for it. I got in touch with them, completed all the formalities, cracked all the rounds and got admission.
The main reason for choosing Vidyalankar over other colleges was the quality of education provided here. I have done my diploma from Vidyalankar. So, I have a lot of trust in this college. Vidyalankar has a huge campus with wi-fi facility all over the campus. Vidyalankar has all the required facilities which were also the reason behind choosing Vidyalankar. AIMA –PGDM syllabus contains all the things required in today’s world which is important.

The criteria for admission in Vidyalankar School of Business is that you must have 50% marks in graduation. If you don’t have 50% marks in graduation then only entrance test marks are considered.
Once you have fulfilled the criteria you are eligible for the further process.
There are 4 stages for Admission which are as follows:

Stage 1: Duly filled application and pre-qualifying questionnaire form submission along with academic documents and application fee of Rs 2,000/-
Stage 2: Short-listing for GD and personal/telephonic / skype interview round with the interview panel.
Stage 3: Issue of provisional admission offer letter (unconditional or conditional).
Stage 4: Admission confirmed if conditions met.

I have given the MHCET entrance test. For the preparation of MHCET, I didn’t join any coaching centre. I did self-study only. I referred some books to gain knowledge about the types of questions asked in the exam. Coaching class is important but I think if you have done self-study the results will be more satisfying.
I didn’t apply to any other college because I was confident that I will get admission at Vidyalankar School of Business. As I said earlier, I had already decided that I will complete my higher education from Vidyalankar only.

Our college timings are from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. We are given an hour lunch break and 2 short breaks.
To spend free time in college we have too many options like the library, karaoke room, gaming zone or we can also play indoor games like pool, table tennis and carrom.
Overall Vidyalankar campus has ample options for study as well as for entertainment. Therefore, students spend most of their time on the campus rather than roaming here and there.
Each committee arranges various activities. These activities are not only fun activities but they also help the students to improve their teamwork and leadership quality that is required in the real world.
I’m currently part of the Placement Committee of our college. I was also holding the position of class representative (CR) in the first semester. I was also a part of the head committee responsible for organising events like Annual HR Dialogue and CEO Spotlight and their promotion. 

Our surroundings change our way of thinking and this is what happens in Vidyalankar. The campus is full of greenery. You will feel pleasant and fresh here. We have professors who have great industry knowledge and experience which helps the students to gain better knowledge about the industry and new industry trends. Our faculty not only teaches us from the book but also provide practical knowledge for better exposure.
After completing my PGDM from Vidyalankar I know I will be able to start my career with the best companies in the market with my knowledge and skills.
