What Students Say

In my 3 years of studying in the BAJMC program, I have learnt a lot and got practical experience in my desired areas like television, videography, short films and other fields. At the same time, I also gained theoretical knowledge about media. With my continuous racing I was still able to manage my college studies and improve in my academics.

Mira Erda

BAJMC - 2018-21

NUV's environment is sociable, right from the supporting faculty to excellent pedagogy, while offering best on-campus infrastructure and wide range of placements. Specifically, the MSW program allows you the freedom to think of an idea and test its practical application. I also gained tremendous knowledge about varied facets of social work.

Yashraj Parmar

MSW - 2020-22

The curriculum at NUV is totally updated and includes all the recent developments in the field. This university has provided me with an abundant number of resources and knowledge and has prevented all of us from getting bored as most of our lectures were online. This year has been difficult due to the pandemic having an impact on the level of face-to-face teaching.

Varija

BAJMC - 2018-21

Massive disruptions, intense competitiveness, amplified focus on sustainability and highly volatile global dynamics are the truth of our times.

At NUV we are acutely aware that students who want to be successful in their professional and personal life, need to possess more than just academic knowledge.

They need to become team players and hone their creative skills to be able to solve new-age challenges. They need to nurture and grow their social, psychological, emotional, ethical and empathy quotients. They need to internalise the lessons that playing a sport teaches – that victory and losses are sides of the same coin and not to get disheartened by setbacks. Thus, at NUV we focus on holistic development of our students that goes beyond books and includes art, culture, sports, student-organised seminars, field trips, etc.
