While I appreciate the outreach, I wonder if the university has considered the cultural adjustment challenges for students from Northeast moving to Gujarat. Maybe they could offer some orientation programs?

Cyber security courses from a national university? That's exactly what we need more of! The job prospects in this field are incredible right now.

The courses sound interesting but I hope they maintain good faculty-student ratios. Many new universities struggle with quality when expanding too quickly.
