SMVDU Overview

Likes

The campus is in Katra, surrounded by hills and greenery. It’s very calm compared to big-city universities, so you can focus on studies without too many distractions.
The evaluation system is modeled after IITs (continuous assessments, minors, majors). It keeps you consistent throughout the semester rather than relying only on one final exam.
For a relatively young university, it has well-built hostels, decent labs, a central library, sports grounds, and a campus that feels modern and organized.

Dislikes

Because it’s located in a remote area, you don’t get as many industry interactions, internships, or cultural events as you would in metro-based universities.
For branches like CSE and ECE, placements are fairly decent. But for core branches (civil, mechanical, biotech, etc.), opportunities are fewer and students often have to prepare for outside exams/jobs themselves.
The environment is disciplined, but some students feel it’s a bit too restrictive compared to other colleges. Night-outs, frequent fests, or the “big city college vibe” are missing.

Internships Opportunities:

Internship opportunities are also provided by university in various field and teachers provides projects to students for their interships and there is a whole system that helps students to find interships.
