Mewar University's seating capacity is about twice more than most Private Learning Institutes. It offers a large number of admissions across several disciplines every year. The university imparts education through online classrooms, physical classroom lectures, self-studies, and tutorials. Mewar University strictly monitors the attendance policy of at least 75% in both theory and practical classes, in order for students to be eligible to appear for the final exam.

Our Take:

Mewar University has a huge batch size across all disciplines. According to the data submitted by the varsity, the number of female students is significantly less than male students. The varsity needs to improve the quality of education and introduce proper schemes to decrease the huge gender gap.

Our Take:

Apart from the fact that the University has done an impressive job in terms of infrastructure, many students are also of the opinion that the modern outlook of the University has made it difficult to establish a cohesive learning environment for students. With modern technologies and amenities available at students' disposal, the learning experience at the University has become rather boring and incomplete with student to student interactions growing lesser every single day.

Mewar University Diversity & Representation

Mewar University grants admission to students hailing from different social strata. According to the reports, around 70% of the students are usually from within the state. The university witnesses a large number of women's admission requests every year. It has also designed the campus with differently-abled friendly resources. The affordable course fees constitute a major reason why the university has students from different walks of life.

Our Take:

Mewar University still lingers in doubt when it comes to the admission rate of students outside the state of Rajasthan, due to a number of reasons. There is scope for inviting students from other states of India to enhance the diversity and representation of the university further. Even though the institution has collaborated with international institutions like Universite’ de Nantes (France), Cavendish University (Uganda), Centre of Excellence for PhD Studies (Nepal), Pyeongtaek University, Dankook University (South Korea), very few students utilize the opportunity.

According to the alumni, the entire management is very supportive and the departments have an adequate number of professors.

Our Take:

Despite a large number of teaching faculty members, candidates feel that the student-teacher bonding is not very strong. Many students have complained about indecent behaviour from some of the faculty members. Others have also highlighted instances where the faculty has failed to complete the syllabus on time.

Mewar University: Expectation vs Reality CollegeDekho Verdict

Mewar University is a private institution which stands out for its enormous campus and wide range of campus facilities. It offers a large range of courses which is always an advantage when deciding on future career prospects. While the institution successfully caters to the higher educational needs of the home state, it still needs a lot more recognition across the country as a renowned institution for what it offers.

Apart from that, the Mewar University faculty should be monitored under strict guidelines to avoid any future conflicts and controversies, as recorded previously by some of the students. Additionally, the PhD learning experience needs to be upgraded along with the correct charges and other procedural information, to avoid any last-minute fee hike for students. The university should work on providing a lenient platform where student-faculty interactions should be encouraged by setting up communication channels across separate campus sectors.
