Placement Preparation Session by IIM Experts, How to Handle Behavioural & Situational Interview
Preparation for placement begins right from the first semester in Dayananda Sagar University, MBA program. In line with this, the School of Commerce & Management Studies (SCMS) conducted a series of sessions on "How to Ace Behavioural Questions?" for all students of MBA Batch 2023-2025 first semester.
