Students

Speak

MIT-WPU not only has an outstanding reputation, but it also takes a very unique approach to otherwise traditional courses, giving us a level of exposure that ensures all

round development. The teachers make a genuine effort to make sure we understand and apply everything we learn. So, I decided I was done admiring MIT-WPU from a

distance. I was ready to join the enlightened, innovative and worldly individuals this University has produced and I will always be grateful to be given a place here

Sanya Rawlani

BBA. LL.B (Hons.)

Despite being here only for a few months, I am eternally thankful to MIT-WPU for being that platform bringing me a step closer to my dreams of becoming a lawyer. The faculty, the campus, the staff and the students all create such a hospitable environment which makes me want to study here. The most unique thing about MIT-WPU is that it provides education along with keeping in touch with our culture. MIT-WPU provides us with modern educational infrastructure along with the elements of spirituality. I have immense gratitude to everyone at MIT-WPU because they are investing in my future. Even though I've been here less than a year, I can already predict that this is going to be one of my hardest goodbyes

Grishma Giramkar

BBA. LL.B (Hons.)

Here at MIT-WPU Faculty of Law, we are provided with a plethora of opportunities.

The Faculty is very helpful and supportive and the peers are reliable. The college

takes initiative for the holistic development of its students.

We are not only given the generic text book knowledge, but are also given the tools

to lead a better life.

Aryan Puri

BBA. LL.B (Hons.)

I chose law because it provides diverse legal career options. The reason I chose this University

over others is the curriculum which has a good balance between theoretical and practical

knowledge. It has been 3 months in the campus of MIT-WPU, where we grow in our own

culture and prosperity. Thank you!Parthsathi Hirani
