    This place has its own aura ,,i know since last few years it has lost its respect that it earlier used have . Earlier it was called "Oxford of East" but it's now even the O of it . But but i must say that the respective staff of this university which is recruited in 2023 is trying to get back its position back . They are really good and talented,helping in studies,keep motivating and give enough of knowledge to their students. One could choose this place without hesitation.
