There is a chance of politics but don't worry, it is the best university in india for all types of students.The decoration is awesome in the university, there are lot more paintings which give several societal messages.

It is my Alma Mater so obviously I will be biased about it . It is legacy that needs to be overhauled. Contribution made by the University to the society is unparalleled.

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.
