    I did my undergrad in Psychology at Sharda, and it was a genuinely good experience. The faculty was knowledgeable and supportive, especially if you were curious and willing to put in the effort. We got great exposure to research, group projects, and presentations, which really helped later when I moved into data and growth roles. The campus is diverse, which made for a fun and eye-opening three years. You meet people from all over, and that kind of environment pushes you to grow, not just academically but personally as well. Overall, Id say Sharda gave me a solid foundation and direction. If you make the most of the opportunities, youll come out stronger for it.

The hands-on activities and real-world examples through fieldwork in Geography, made learning both fun and insightful. My geography teachers are highly qualified and learned. They know the art of breaking tough topics into simpler forms. I now have a deeper appreciation for how geography shapes our lives!

    It has been a year attending series of grooming session by our respective mentors, I find myself in a new light of knowledge and wisdom. Now, when I pause for a while at this moment and look back upon the very first day I stepped in this department as a larva, I find myself as a pupa.
