    Other: I studied at Pondicherry University. Did my M.B.A. Finance through distance education. My center was Loyola College. Compared to other universities the fee was reasonable and the reputation was good even though we have done in due. The faculty was from Loyola College who taught us very well and it was very easy to score good marks. I would prefer to go to do M.B.A. and M.C.A. from Pondicherry University. Nominal fee structure.
