They completed their post-graduate diploma ‘DMRE’ from CPS College, Mumbai. The Central government on January 17, 2017 through a notification had authorized CPS College to run 36 courses. However, the government on February 18, 2018, issued a notification and canceled the permission of 33 courses out of the 36 courses of the college.
