Student Reviews & Testimonials

suresh saran

So sweet and pleasureful environment.The staff is very good in behavior, security staff is also well behaved. There are best faculties are available for every department.We can consert any doubts with the professors without any hesitation the management is also well but we can't veil some issues just like the electcity timing is not so good wich should be required.I visited this place approximately 5 or 6 times since last two years but the problem is same no solution of this problem.The second major problem is not uses of electricity generators that are outside of universit.Overall management should be aware about these problems.Security staff is so helpful for any type of problem the timing of opening is 10am but usually the work starts from 10.30.If you need any photocopies and print out then you have to go 1 kilometer north side from main gate. Gardens are neat and cleaned which is the symbol of cleaniless is next to godliness.I enjoyed this place very lot
