Students from MBA and BBA programs gained practical experience in sales and communication at a mega trade fair held in Vizianagaram from December 14 to 16. Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) and Satya Institute of Technology and Management (SITAM) sent their students to interact directly with consumers. CUTM students N. Kavya Sri and Keerthi Priya said, "It provided a great opportunity to convince customers to buy products from local shops instead of online e-commerce portals." CUTM vice president D. N. Rao highlighted that live interactions help students build confidence and prepare for campus interviews.
