PPD - Personal Progress and Development

PPD is the abbreviation of Personal Progress and Development. The name itself clearly gives a glimpse of its meaning. This is a subject introduced to the university undergraduates in order to improve their personality by focusing a lot on their soft skills.

This is not yet another lecture where we used to sit in the bench and get bored. PPD is interactive since it allows us to do a lot of activities.

At present a lot of Students fail to get through the job interview due to not being able to communicate effectively with the interviewer. That is due to the fear of speaking in public, not being fluent with their language, lack of confidence, nervousness, etc. We can overcome all of these if trained properly. Hence the activities we do in PPD strive as a learning platform where we're allowed to make mistakes and sharpen ourselves before we ourselves get to the work out in the field.
