Prof. H.K. Sehgal

Access and equity are integral to Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University. We cannot call ourselves a great university unless we provide opportunities and support to the most capable of students.

We have a social responsibility to ourselves and to the whole nation. Our students are taught to be independent thinkers well versed in critical appraisal, to be articulate and to be life-long learners. As a result, our graduates are sought after by employers, who value such attributes.

An excellent faculty committed to quality teaching and research, a flexible curriculum responsive to the changing needs of industry, excellent computer facilities, state-of-the-art infrastructure, a well-stocked library and last but not the least, a lush green campus - contribute to the excellence of our undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes. Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University is where you connect with other motivated students, experienced and dedicated faculty, modern lab facilities, corporate go getters, an extensive alumni network and excellent placement opportunities. In brief you connect with success. Unsurprisingly, this university has been acclaimed as the pride institution of the state of Uttar Pradesh and one of the best universities in the country both by academia and the media.

Changes and improvements both academic as well as administrative are a necessary and continuous endeavor in order to improve the quality of education and to keep it at par with other universities of the country.

As Vice-Chancellor I believe I can best achieve this by working to nurture an environment where the wonderful talents, within and associated with the University, are able to flourish. In this way we will maintain and enhance Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University’s position as a great university, whose positive impact is felt and appreciated locally, nationally and internationally, every day.
