Dr.D.Leelavardhini
When I first entered Arts College I was anxious about my future. Over the three years, so many doors were opened for our personal and academic development that I became confident. The college aims at enhancing our knowledge, skills and abilities. It, in fact, didn’t leave the attitude part behind as well. These years at Arts College are the best years concerning learning, experience and gaining exposure to fields relevant to my discipline, all due to my faculty member.This endeavor will lead our college to incredible heights.

College plays a very important role in making the career of a person, for me this was -GCM.I had a very positive experierence with GCM,it had contributed a major part in my career building.The staff and teachers are very passionate and show genuine desire to help students to achieve their goals. College aims at the overall development of the student so that he/she can excel in different fields .So in GCM one is not just bookworm but a real thinker-which is the basic requirement in today’s tech-era.
P.Sivarama Krishna
It is well said that you value things when u don’t have them this is very much true in my case as well. When we were in college we always use to think that why there is so much of discipline but once I enter corporate I realized that it was for our benefit only. And one thing more I would like to thanks my faculty members who helped us in every way to make our basics very clear which gave me edge over other graduates. At the end of day it all depends on how well you perform in your organization and how keen you are in learning new things that too with right attitude.
K.Sivaram
Arts College, this name itself a brand and we are still associated with it. The institution that nurtured us with care as the almighty does. The faculty support was over and beyond limits with strong intentions to mould us to perfection. The 3 years of time spent with this institution was the best time we had in our life and every moment spent in this campus is still precious. The knowledge and transformation we had with this college is the reason we find ourselves successful today.
