Studying online MBA at Sri Ramaswamy Memorial was an incredible journey. They have many online MBA specialisations that allow me to gain a range of skills in many domains. However, the admission process seemed a bit hectic to me, and that became easier with Learning Routes' assistance. I loved my entire academic experience at SRM Online because of the flexibility. It helped me pursue full-time internships side by side and gain industry experience simultaneously.

Online education was never my first choice, but I am thrilled to share my experience that turned out to be distinct and value for money. All thanks to the Learning Routes guidance and support team. They have helped me enrol in one of India's top colleges, SRM Online. Their up-to-date curriculum is ideal for every fresher. Besides, I didn't have to worry about placements as they organised virtual job fairs by the end of the course.

I can affirm that Learning Routes career guidance is distinct. I understood this during my first counselling session by looking at their guidance approach, which is like a roadmap — a step-by-step process. I told them my career goals and the requirements of not being able to relocate. Choosing SRM Online BCA was only possible due to Learning Routes' support. And the academic experience with the university ultimately came out brilliantly due to the cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and quality of the content and learning approaches.

Quality learning and a well-established Tier 1 college were like a dream to me due to financial limitations. My cousin told me about Learning Routes career guidance for online learning. As I didn't have any choice left, I booked a free counselling session. And when they suggested that I enrol in SRM Online Chennai, I was like, “Are you kidding me?” But when they revealed the fee structure, self-paced learning approaches, and, most importantly, placement assistance, that was the end for me. Their team is so professional. The guidance was personalised and worth every penny. If anyone is seeking to enrol in quality online courses with the same recognition as regular programmes, I would recommend a consultation session with Learning Routes.
