I'm having friendly and peaceful experience here.
Tips: It is a great college with academics, friendly professors, great team and events. I stay on campus accommodation which is convenient. The cost of living is also affordable. Do have some savings before you move in. The nature and environment is filled with greenery which is very peaceful. Don't expect to get a job if you do a degree here. You have to hustle on your own.
Likes (Student Life): The infrastructure and facilities are great. Students here are friendly and no discrimination exists. You will find many Indians here for Masters degree. There are events and gatherings held frequently. I stay in the campus accommodation so the experience is wonderful.
Dislikes (Internships): No guidance is provided for internships. Just general information is provided which is stressful among students as we come with expectations but it is not fulfilled as promised. So the hustle is on our own, otherwise the professors and tutors are great here.

Multi-dimensional, friendly and lively
Tips: Whatever it is don't stop yourself from expressing your thoughts. The teaching staff supports you in every step that's the best part I loved. Wide collection of all the course books, articles, and journals. A creative hub in which you can take part. Good transportation is available.
Likes (Student Life): It's a multi-dimensional university, a good cafe with varieties of food and sometimes free food. Many events were organized on some special days like presidential election day and many more celebrations. I don't stay on campus but I observed many things like games to play etc available. There is a student union which helps you in every aspect of your student life.
Dislikes (Part time work): I applied to many university part-time jobs but I haven't got any reply, either rejected or accepted. I expect that I should be informed about their decision whether accepted or not. I have applied to the jobs twice when there is a vacancy but no information or reply from them.

Q:   Why is Shiksha Grading better than other ranking bodies?

A: 

For the students looking forward to study abroad, the ranking of a university plays a crucial role in decision-making. However, the availability of multiple rankings online can be overwhelming for the university's international audience. All the top ranking bodies rank universities on the basis of different parameters, which can be hard to understand for first-time study abroad aspirants. Keeping this in mind, the Shiksha Study Abroad has launched Shiksha Grading. It caters the Indian audience and ranks all the universities with Indians as their target audience.

What makes Shiksha Grading stand out is that the website uses the aggregate of all the publicly available university and course rankings from top-ranking publishers and maps it into 9 buckets - A++, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C. In this method, universities are graded by country and courses are graded by availability at the college in a particular country. With the help of this, students will no longer be required to check multiple ranking organisations to know about the performance of a particular university. Students would only be required to check Shiksha Grading – a platform where all the top rankings from popular ranking groups would be normalised and all universities would be graded into 9 buckets - A++, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C.

Q:   Which are some of the top-ranked universities in UK?

A: 

Some of the top-ranked universities in the UK are the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University of Warwick, etc. Check the table given below to know about the ranking of these top-ranked universities:
