Remarks

The positive factor is the events of and the dresscode of the college. The negative part is that it is small in size and there are two entries for the college where the second entry of the college which are used by all the students who come by vehicles is not even recognized by the public. It doesn't have any indication to route the new corners.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

B.com Information technology is the course which am undergoing. This is an extraordinary course where you get to learn about both commerce and technology too. You learn economics mixed with computer programming which will help you in lot of ways.

Placement Experience

The placements are mindblowing in our college. They assure a 100% placement. Yes they do provide an internship letter for the second years after the end of their fourth semester by which they can ask in for hiring companies. It's not a compulsory thing but it's going to be an added advantage for you Post graduation and also your job.

College Events

GRD is jam packed with a lot of events and functions. Offbeat Bootcamp Scibleaga Xfactor Scib hunt Give what you can Creative streaks T10 Awards day Culturals Face to face and a lot more. There are different departments in our college and each department will have their own special events

Fee Structure And Facilities

To be honest, comparing the other arts colleges in coimbatore. GRD is a bit expensive but it is worth the pay. It gives you all the comfort for every single penny you pay to the management. GRD even has bus facility where PSG doesn't.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes there is scholarship facility provided here for students with outstanding performances in their academics. There's no loan facility offered by our college. This is not a major disadvantage because a lot of college in the south do not have this facility

Campus Life

GRD is filled with extracurriculars. This is a place where you can learn from entertainment. Yes we have all types of labs in our college and they are all air conditioned and we'll maintained by the respective lab assistants. Labs will be conducted almost 3 times a week. Yes there are all types of sports for all the atheletes.

Alumni/Alumna

Yea the seniors are way too helpful.. They are like a family. In all the events it's the seniors who help the students than the teachers of the college. They even help for internships and lot more. They even help us in lending their books as they complete their semester, they even tell us the frequently asked questions

Faculty

3.5

As people differ even each faculty differ. Some are good and some are worse. Mrs.Vijayalakshmi is the most hated lecturer of the college due to her reckless behaviour. There are so many loved teachers like Mrs.Rajeshwari etc
