The objective of the University in offering admission to prospective students is to train and produce citizens who will be eligible in learning and character within a stipulated period of time. The program is an avenue through which individual student obtains a University degree that prepares him/her to understand him/herself, obtain a suitable career and contribute meaningfully to the society.

The University has guiding principles, rules and regulations that each student is expected to comply with in order to succeed. The decision to drop out or hang on doggedly throughout the course and graduate as expected will depend on the part each student take from the first day of accepting this admission. If a student wishes to graduate according to the set objective, then he or she should decide to work hard, comply with the rules and regulations and avoid bad influences.
The rules and regulations are used to judge how good or bad you are and the University has zero tolerance for indiscipline.
