Student Speaks

Aastha We had a course called 'Problem-solving with Design Thinking', where we worked with people from different domains. This helped us understand how Design-thinking can be applied in AI. Aastha Basu Aditya I’m in the B.Tech. program focused on preparing us for the industry and think on our feet. Some courses focus on programming, others on creativity. Aditya Ravidas Angad My professors have been incredibly supportive, significantly increasing my domain knowledge. Students can engage in various club activities for extracurricular exposure. Angad Singhal Cassia Our classes are very interactive, and my economics professor connects the content to the real world. I chose Economics at VU as my ultimate aim is to work for the greater cause. Cassia Phulesha Kritika Psychology is an interesting subject, but studying at Vidyashilp University makes it more interesting. In Ethnography, we explored Malleshwaram to study its people and culture. Kritika Joshi Mahalaxmi I really like it here; the courses are well-structured. The faculty creates a welcoming class where learning goes beyond the board. Mahalaxmi Preksha B.Des in Communication Design is perfect if you are interested in communication and user experience design. The ambience, the social life, and the clubs are quite fun too.
