The students we get in the University are from the middle class families and after studies they are well placed in various social work agencies throughout India and are well appreciated by people of different walks. We are proud to state that our students are getting placed in prestigious educational institutions like NIMHANS Bangalore, IIPS Mumbai, JNU, Delhi University etc for higher studies. The Associations of Trained Social Workers in USA, New Zealand, Australia and UK have also accredited the MSW degree awarded by the University.
