Tejas Defence Academy

Your Parents are hard pressed in job works, to earn our bread and butter and money for your education. Sometimes they go for loans even for your education. All at what Cost ? At the cost of their blood, Sweat and Sleepless nights. But if the same education of yours doesn’t get EAMCET or degree’s of your’s doesn’t get jobs. What is your parents fate. Put in their shoes and think one.

Don’t let this happen to you.

Time is one of our most precious resources. It is also possible the only one, once lost, can never be retrieved.

But the tragedy is, in your age you think, you know everything and need to learn nothing.

After completing school, they enter Univeristy without first thinking of career and ascertaining whether or not a University degree is absolutely essential, and if it is, the kind of degree required. In many cases a University degree is notnecessary, and those who go through the trouble of acquiring one, merely waste of precious time and their parents money.

If you are planning for two years, join other colleges.

If you are planning for 100 years, join TDA.
