SSPU has a unique curriculum that gave me an opportunity to sharpen my skill sets and has definitely broadened my knowledge about the retail sector. The fact that the students have to select their major from the very first semester gave me better clarity and as the curriculum includes 70% of field-work/practical and 30% theory learning, it became easier and more engaging. The college also gave me the opportunity to intern with a Fortune 500 company and helped me evolve in different aspects.
