Student Reviews & Testimonials

MONICA RAGHU

To be honest, this is only the review of how beautiful the campus is…. It’s peaceful, calm and serene…. You can feel more connected with the nature which being close to the city!

AVINASH SREERAMULA

Too big a place. Jnanabharathi metro is adject to the university. And it is very near to Kengeri Satellite Town, RR Nagar and RV Vidyaniketan. The campus is well maintained and it connects many areas through it. Even city buses traverse through it. So it has got good connectivity. I remember noting few educational blocks, Bus stops, fruit hawker vendors, a temple and a library.

Rahul Kushwaha

I am talking about the pariksha bhavan which looks like BU office . 2 star only because atleast students get their marks card and degree eventually at the end. Apart from that there is no proper communication channel for BU . The college affiliated to it are also not sure of its next move . Visited the place , looks like under construction and no proper organization in the building. I have seen people waiting for marks card for many years . I was fortunate to get my mark sheet on time after few visits . Please speed up your process, atleast learn from vtu who have digitised their platform and serve the students well. Thank you

Lalitha Jain

There are none of the helpline numbers that work. And for wrong bubbling they take a penalty of sum up to 500 just to give your results. Even in the cbse board exams they don't ask for penalty on wrong bubbling. Neither do they show the answer sheet for wrong bubbling and ask for a high penalty amount.
