Learning at the University

No, our UG programmes are full-time residential programmes at our campuses in Bengaluru and Bhopal.

Our programmes are in English, and we provide extensive academic support to help our students cope with the coursework.

We are committed to providing a suitable teaching and learning environment for all our students. 

We provide reasonable academic accommodations for students with disabilities, including those with specific learning disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD and so on. 

Reasonable accommodations involve making adjustments within learning environments, both inside and outside the classroom. This includes accommodations made to presentation, response, setting, timing and scheduling of assessments, providing support through assistive technology, etc. These accommodations provide alternative ways of accessing the curriculum, thus helping students with disabilities achieve the same learning objectives as their peers.
