EXPERIENCE WITH DAMS AMRITSAR:

It has been wonderful to get associated with Dams Amritsar. After the lecture just come back home and revise the things then only. More revisions are required at regular intervals; this is the only ‘success mantra’. All the faculty members who came here to teach were highly experienced n knowledgeable. Thank u DAMS this rank wont have been possible without you.
