Testimonials
What students say about us?
I am currently studying a PGDM to improve my business skills after completing my B.Com. at Mohan Lal Sukhadia University in Udaipur. I chose Valia School of Management to develop key management abilities such as leadership, strategic planning, and organizational behavior. I hope to advance professionally by strengthening my managerial skills, obtaining worthwhile internships, and obtaining a solid LPA.
Darshil Kothari
I hold a BBA in Finance from DY Patil University, Pune. I’ve spent the last two years working in real estate, primarily managing funds and liquidity. My interest in finance has been strong from the start, but working in the industry deepened that passion, especially in areas like finance and asset management. During my time in real estate, I realized that while theoretical knowledge provided a strong foundation, it was the practical, hands-on experience that truly made a difference. Whether it was managing cash flow or making investment decisions, the dynamic nature of the financial world requires more than just textbook learning. I wanted to further build on this practical experience and gain deeper insights into real-world financial markets, which is why I started looking for a professional course that could meet these needs. That’s when I chose to pursue a PGDM in Finance, as it offers a more practical and professional approach to the subject. After researching various institutions, I found Valia School of Management, which stood out to me for its exceptional internship program. The hands-on experience they offer aligns perfectly with my goals because I believe PGDM should be about practical market knowledge rather than just textbook learning. Valia’s focus on real-world applications convinced me that this was the right place to advance my career in finance, equipping me with the skills to thrive in an ever-evolving financial landscape.

I completed my graduation in BBI, and now I am pursuing PGDM in Digital Marketing from Valia School of Management. I chose VSM for my postgraduation as it provides the best faculties to provide us with knowledge that is practically applicable. And hence it gives me the opportunity to settle and have a perfect life in the corporate world.
Sumit Vishwakarma
Before applying for the PGDM program at Valia School of Management, let’s take a look at where I was 5-6 years ago. I cleared my SSC with 65%, my HSC with 67%, and my TYBCOM with 72%. Also, I cleared my Common Admission Test (CAT) with a 78 percentile. So, thereby, I got motivated and applied to a professional course in PGDM. I applied to Valia School of Management as there are many reasons, but the main reason I took it was because of their faculties, as they explain to the students in a more practical way as to how the industry works in the real world. Also, I will highly recommend other students to join this institute.

The teachers are very approachable, which allows me to clarify my doubts easily. Every student gets placed in well-reputed and renowned companies, and the curriculum is excellent. The college provides us with internships for better future prospects and experience.

As a student at Valia College, I became aware of the PGDM program during a career guidance session, which sparked my interest. Following that, I took the initiative to inquire further about the program through faculty members. Sneha Ma’am provided me detailed insights into the curriculum, emphasizing its practical approach and focus on industry readiness. I learned that the program includes various projects, internships, and networking opportunities. The faculty’s are focused and passionate for teaching and supporting students. They highlighted the importance of developing managerial skills and real-world applications, which I find essential for my career goals. So far in my first year, I got to know that the PGDM program at Valia College is a valuable opportunity for students looking to excel in the business field.
