GPREC Kurnool Campus Facilities - Hostel Fees, Infrastructure, Address

The institute attracts the cream of student community from across the country through national level competitive examinations and interviews. It believes that the true potential of such students cannot be realized through academics alone. The students are provided with opportunities for exploring and enhancing their talents in extra- curricular activities through Literary, Cultural and Sports clubs. This helps to promote self- management skills and core values in the students, all of which cumulatively help to groom the students into integrated personalities.

The students are involved in a host of other activities. All major events like youth festivals; technical competitions are actively organized and conducted by the student body.There is student representation on various administrative committees like Hostel Governing Body, Canteen Committee, Course Monitoring, Discipline Committee etc. All Student committees function under the peripheral supervision of faculty. Students thus get an opportunity to shoulder responsibility and understand better the issues, challenges and compulsions that are part and parcel of the day-to-day administration of an organization, which indirectly provides for rich experiential learning in the Science of Management.
