I chose UC by considering the best education, IT hub, placements, and mainly the scholarship, that the university gives. My overall experience is excellent.

The campus life is really good , you will have many free spaces, parks to walk around the university, you also have 5 libraries, where you have multiple books and computers for doing the lab work. You will like to see a wellness centre too.

University is student friendly and academic facilities and conditions and quality of education is top notch.

Campus is mix of modern and colonial architecture. There’s pretty much something or other events happening around the campus. People ate friendly and approachable. They have more than 10 libraries in the main campus itself. They also has a pantry facility for underprivileged students and help them as much as they can.
