“We, at AISECT University, aim at making our students competent and professional. We believe in their holistic development of the students and that’s why our goal is not only to provide them standardized education and training, but also to enhance students’ skill-set so that they are ready to face the hurdles of the professional world as soon as they step out of the University,” Choubey added.
He thanked the Jharkhand Government and the Chief Minister Raghubar Das, for giving an approval for establishing this campus.
Choubey further said, “So far the response has been overwhelming with more than 500 queries having been received for admissions. Considering the tremendous reaction that we have received, we are hoping that over 1,000 students will enroll themselves for the academic session 2016-17.”
