Its not Jamuna par. Its called East Delhi. V3S is right on Vikas Marg and located near Preet Vihar.

Hauz Khas is about 45 - 60 mins drive from V3S depending on traffic conditions. These days Metro work is in progress on Vikas Marg. This makes the traffic move slow.

A better option will be to take the Nizamuddin Bridge & reach Hauz Khas via Maharani Bagh - Lajpat Nagar - Khel Gaon. It won't take more than 40 mins. (Disclaimer: Traffic conditions) via this route.

Usually ppl r passionate abt joiin ad agencies (even i was)...but its nt a fruitful option as pay scales r pretty low n growth is nt so significant.....wch i realized when i was pursuing dis course..n hence decided to join any good brand... Thru some NIFT senrs i sourced mah project in Lee and then got job offer after completion....

Presetnly Im handlin Loyalty ptogram, web based promotions & new age media for d brand....

overall..its a dynamic profile to hv...every day is a new day for me....we kp on doing lots of new innovative thngs regularly....

i hv read in many posts abt ppl saying ....dis course doesnt hv future n growth.... but all i wanna say.. i was alwaz an avrg student....6 pointer types...n if i can make it..im sure many more like you guyz can.....so dnt b misguided..if u R FOCUSSED N PASSIONATE...u will get wht u want....

hi priyank.need urgent help!!!!!

nift Rank 192 and expecting pat/chen. Got in fash marketing in pearl-delhi. couple of niftians(gandhi.,cal.,hyd.)told me to join pearl as it has excellent faculty in delhi with decent placements.

i had a few issues with the pearl course as it specialises in brand mgt.though i am interested in branding, dont want to limit myself at this stage.

fash mkt. is for 2yrs and has retail mgt,advanced merchandising and all core modules of mkt mgt.(more or less same as nift's mgt).

as a industry insider what do u suggest would be an intelligent choice?

ur suggestion would mean a lot.thanx!

Well... cpl of mah frnds hv done d retail marketing course frm Pearl. They got ok-ok kinda jobs and packages between 15-20k...
Its a tough call... but yaa..as u've mentioned faculties at Pearl r better..n certainly pearl wud be a better choice in comparision to patna/chennai....

NIFT's brand name will b missin frm ur CV for sure... but if u r good then brand name doesn't counts. You can alwaz make big..irrespective of ur insti...

Mah suggestion wud be... Go for Pearl....

Cheers..
Priyank

Hi Sarah,
I think your marksheets of all 3/4 yrs will do... usually they gv time to all till sept/oct to deposit proof of graduation. As u hv mentioned ur passing cert n degree marksheet will definately pose as proff of ur gradtn. Take them along along with attested xerox copies....

All d best.......
