TOP
Aim of Government College University is to
disseminate inter-disciplinary knowledge and produce
intellectual minds, rather than ordinary graduates. The main
focus of the University is on quality, not quantity. The
University is focusing on offering top class graduate and
postgraduate programmes in the existing disciplines as well as
the new disciplines in demand in the market. These programmes
will aim at meeting the requirements of both the national and
international markets. The university is implementing the
concept of holistic student development by helping them in their
overall intellectual development through self confidence
building measures, a sense of national responsibilities,
leadership ability, a clear vision about their future goals,
purposeful career plans and a life style in accordance with the
cultural norms.
