What Student Says
Posted on prince kumarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently took 14 days SSB coaching here and I felt that it's a good place since you will get to know about SSB in depth and also what SSB wants from you. The physhe, GTO, IO are good and everything is taken care. If you don't have confidence on yourself here the teachers will make sure you are confident by the end of course. Learning depends on your involvement and not on the teachers.Posted on Mayank TiwaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
