The department of student affairs was set up to look after the welfare of students. With about 15,000 students studying in the university, it is imperative to have such a support group to look after their interests outside the classroom and provide special services.

The Student Affairs department’s activities cover wide areas such as guidance, wellness, health and counselling. It is constantly evolving ways to support and foster students’ interest in the university. A number of activities are held every year to ensure that the growth of students is not limited to classrooms alone.

Our idea is to help students reach their highest potential in the areas of intellectual curiosity and personal well-being. We are committed to providing students a wide variety of opportunities to explore leadership styles while also cultivating and practicing new skills.
