Our students are really looking forward to the trip. They have undergone a week long training program at the school to help them prepare for the visit. In the training program, the students were told about the type of real estate markets that exist all around the world, how markets are different not only at a global but also at a local level like the real estate market in Delhi differs from the one in Mumbai.
The training program also covered key aspects of Facilities Management and students were taken to see chiller plants, DG sets and construction sites.
