Campus life is the quality time a regular student spends in his or her College, whether pursuing a Management Course like BBA or MBA, or an Engineering, Medical, Pharmacy or aviation course. Campus life indirectly plays an unnoticed role in every student’s career as it silently carves the personality of the student as a future professional over the years he spends in the College. In a typical Business School, the B School campus life has a bigger impact on the professional and interpersonal conduct and provides practical learning towards Management subjects like Human Resource, Marketing and Finance.
