Great campus, great people
I really enjoyed my time at this university, everyone is so helpful and welcoming. The students resources are wonderful and you�ll never feel out of place. I thoroughly enjoyed my professors and the courses I took here.
African Experiences Indian Education
Cgc-J is a large, a very clean and growing institution. Most tecahers are kind and most domestic students are still "adjusting" to other international student. What I ike the most is the schools effort to get students involved in extra activities. What I dislike the most is teachers who are not effective in English communication / teaching (they teach in Hindi mostly ) and being physically locked in the school to continue to participate in a boring event
LA Grandee Review
I study in an affiliated college which is in linked to Pokhara University and I'm satisfied with my college. Teachers in the college are quite friendly and helpful where there is no stress for study. Assignments are designed as per the course and the timings of each classes are perfect as well.
