Bhavan’s Rajaji College of Communication & Management.

The Rajaji College of Comm. & Mgmt. provides Post graduate Diploma courses in Journalism, Public relations, Marketing and Sales Mangement, Industrial relations & Personal Management and Business management at various Kendras.

Why Business Communication? - Business communication should be made a part of the curriculum for all students at the college level irrespective of their subject of study. This is essential to prepare the students for global competition. Currently only MBA students are given an exposure to Business Communications as a subject.

Students of other streams of study do not have the opportunity to learn the subject at the college level.

Today all youngsters, irrespective of their domain expertise, are exposed to global competition, unlike in the past. Hence the need for developing business communication skills among all.
