A good university is a vital catalyst in laying the foundation of a successful and secure future. This is why, you – as a student or parent – must choose the university with care. But, how do you ensure that the university you have chosen is the right one?

Here are the top 5 tips that will go a long way in helping you pick the right university:

Also, talking to your local tour operator should be quite helpful in making the necessary arrangements.
  2. Visit the campus – If you are applying to a university in your city, it is best to take a tour of the place, and not virtually. Check if their online claims are correct, see the canteen, take a look around at the classrooms, look at the facilities. For instance, the GNA University, amongst the top private universities in north India, offers holistic services to each student in order to facilitate a global learning platform, ranging from experiential learning to industrial internship and transparency.
  3. Consider your goal – After a visit to the campus, think of your goal(s). Will the university help you achieve your set goals? Is the university future-enabled?

Choose a university that empowers you to face cut-throat competition.
  4. Placement services – Job or placement opportunities is a major consideration these days. This makes it vital to check the internship, on-campus interviews, and placements by the university.
  5. Respect deadline – Procrastinating of delaying decision-making may put you at risk of losing out on reputed universities. Make that vital decision when you still have time and without any undue pressures from peers or influencers.
