University’s role in my education was providing resources, because my actual college was Oriental Institute of Science & Technology which was affiliated with it.
I would say university had guts to change and implement the ongoing syllabus completely and marking structure which are helpful for its students in growing technological world, as they did that in my first year itself, but hugely lacks the implementation planning so that a smooth transition can take a place.
They made severe changes after 1 month of college pass by with teaching old syllabus and even after changing the entire structure, no new books were available and no action plan. They also reverted back to original plan after my year, and that way, we became kind of guinea pigs for them to explore. Overall, it all adds to the experience of life and education is something that stayed with us reading through old books following new structure.
Since this was the only direct experience of this university, can’t really speak about their teaching staff because it was different for my college.
