A Structured Commitment to Co-Curricular Excellence

In a distinctive institutional practice, the University has dedicated a special day in a week exclusively for club and co-curricular activities.

During the club activites, the campus becomes a dynamic arena of interaction. Moot court preparations intensify, cultural rehearsals animate auditoriums, NSS and NCC units plan community initiatives, and technical clubs conduct workshops and innovation sessions. This weekly platform strengthens leadership, teamwork, and practical exposure across disciplines.
