Student Testimonial

_"I chose DBS because of the great attention to every student in the institute. I chose the MBA in HRM because I am interested in studying business.

My experience in DBS was great and beyond what I had expected.I enjoyed the interaction with the professors as it taught me many things in a fun way which I will never forget. My lecturers have had a great impact on my education as it was them who guided me throughout my course and I learnt a lot of things by interacting with them and through their guidance.

My favorite subject was the project as I got to work and understand the real work environment and discover new things about it.

I will definitely recommend DBS to others as I feel this institution has taught me a lot and made me what I am. It's a fun way of learning new things here.

I would describe my DBS experience in just one word - awesome. The experience has made me a better person as I am very well prepared for the industry now. I have become more keen and adaptable to things. I have learned from others; their culture and way of working from the institution.

I feel adding a MBA degree from DBS college adds a lot of weight to my CV and makes me stand apart from the crowd. I learnt team work and working with people from different nationalities and it helped me understand other people better which is what helped me survive in my home and at work with people from all over the world."_
