SCDL had given working professionals an opportunity to enhance their skills and education, the complete process is simple and transparent for students. The kind of support system they have is incredible, this makes education interesting and effective. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I was a working professional. For my post-graduation I was opting to choose a university which is cost effective with brand value. I found SCDL offering me all what I wanted and now I can proudly say that I am a post graduate from SCDL. I am thankful to the university providing an opportunity for one’s up gradation and opening paths of success.
