Our learner oriented approach aims at providing the best of humanistic education with excellent links to science, business, arts and entrepreneurship.

Students of School of Liberal Education enjoy the benefits of learning inside and outside the classroom. As an integral part of curriculum, the students are encouraged to initiate, organize and participate in a number of activities.

It is common for classroom discussions to turn into lively luncheon debates; "What's your Question?" can be as pressing as "What's happening this weekend." Outside the classroom, students enjoy the countless activities (some planned, some improvised) that comprise life in the campus.
