Learning at Maharishi Markandeshwar (Deemed To Be University) has
been one of the best experiences. Its difficult for an international
student to adjust easily but well it hasn't been that difficult because
both the teaching stuff and students have been very helpful. MMDU
provides conducive environment for those who want to advance their
knowledge.

Maivagna Chamasse Homary
~Madagascar
MMDU is a university different from the others in the way that the
professors who teach are available for any kind of help whenever any kind
of help students need. The mentoring of the university is good. I think if
one student wants to get an experience of life he/she should come here
to find it. I can’t say it is the best university of the world but I’m sure it is
one of the best.

Prantik Kishor Chakroborty
~Bangladesh
MMDU is the best university to me. It has world class infrastructure
and an ever green campus. It's hostels are highly accommodated. The
teachers are very friendly and they always try to make their students
self confident. MMDU not only teaches us how to study well but also
teaches us how to express ourself and how to devolop our behaviour. We
can feel it as home abroad home. So, it is not a university, it is a family.

Alina Prasai
~Nepal
MMDU belives in polishing and nuturing the skills of the students by
providing a platform where you can learn and grow. From academic to
out activites point of view. It’s a priviledge for me to be the part of North
India’s best University “MM(DU)”.
