KOLKATA, April 23: In response to the burgeoning real estate market across the country, St Xavier’s College, in collaboration with CREDAI (Confederation of Real Estate Developer’s Associations of India), is poised to introduce a one-year postgraduate diploma course in real estate management. This initiative marks a significant first for the college, as it previously offered a six-month certificate course in the same field.
The upcoming diploma program is aimed at addressing the needs of individuals from various professional backgrounds eager to enter the real estate sector. As for the financial aspect, the existing certificate course comes at an attractive fee of Rs 15,000, while the costs for the postgraduate diploma will be revealed in the first week of May.

We are planning to increase our batch size to 30 for the next session, which is set to commence in July," remarked Prof Ashish Mitra, who is part of the faculty responsible for the certificate course.
