No proper food facility, no good stayMy wife is gone there for practicals classes and examsThe staff there from lower to higher hierarchy all are speaking like third class people. He is telling next time you build a house to stay here. The rooms are so shabby, no cleanliness and still students are ready to pay for a stay and this is how they treat. The university where classes happen lift their hands up saying it's not coming under them.From the gate to walk in is so long and terrible. There are no shops, no food. Please reconsider if you want to study here.No cleaning of rooms, no waste basket, AC not working, rats in and around and so the guy brings rat trap and hands it over.3000 rs for 3 days and he wants only Cash!

The University has an amazing campus. Has a decent guest house and hostels for both boys and girls. The administrative and Convocation building is highly decorated and well maintained. Surroundings are also fine. The faculties are a bit weak compared to the other universities in the state.

Money making University. Please don't waste your precious time by joining this university. Quality of education is very poor. No proper response to the students queries. Study material is worst and for exams many questions will not come from textbook for that you are losing marks. Because as students they can't write out of the book in correspondence because in this university no classes will be conducted. While joining they are giving fake promises to students that they will conduct classes. But till now full portion is not completed and revision they have not done.As a commerce student what I'll say is for accounting subject we need classes otherwise we can't understand the subject at all. But the lectures are not bothered about that. They are just doing their job for name sake. I don't know how this university is survived these years. So many negative news about this university. Feeling very sad after joining this university. Worst experience in my life. Simply wasted my money and time.

Rude behavior of the staffs they dont know how to handle students who come for the exams .....as my friend went for exams and she wanted to stay in guest house there which is not at all clean and not in good condition they were not treated her well ..... We have right to use that accommodation facility ...they should learn how to treat people coming from distant places
