I visited MG University, Kottayam, to collect my certificate. The campus is calm and well-maintained, surrounded by greenery. The certificate section was a bit crowded, but the staff were helpful in guiding through the process. It did take some time, so patience is definitely needed. Proper documents and ID proof were checked, and once everything was verified, the process went smoothly. There's a waiting area, but it could be better managed. Overall, it was a decent experience — just make sure to go early to avoid long queues.

Mahatma Gandhi University in Kottayam offers a sprawling green campus, creating a pleasant and eco-friendly learning environment. While some reviewers have noted occasional administrative delays and unresponsiveness from certain staff, many appreciate the diverse range of schools and programs available, including sciences, arts, and technology. The helpfulness of staff at information desks has also been highlighted. Though there's room for improvement in administrative efficiency, the university's strong academic reputation and vibrant campus life make it a significant educational institution in Kerala. It's a place where academic pursuits meet a generally positive campus experience.

Negative Review for MG University – May 2025 ExperienceI had a very disappointing experience with MG University in May 2025. I tried contacting the university multiple times via phone, but there was no response at all. After several attempts, I was informed that there had been a small fire, which was given as the reason for the lack of response. However, even a month later, the issue persisted — calls were still not answered.I also sent multiple emails to follow up, but received no reply whatsoever. For a reputed university, this level of communication is completely unacceptable. Students and applicants rely on timely and professional responses, especially when their future depends on it.I strongly believe that the university’s communication and administrative policies need urgent revision. There should be better systems in place for handling emergencies, responding to inquiries, and maintaining transparency with the public.This experience has greatly damaged my trust in the university’s management and professionalism.
