A journey is much more than the passage of time or movement from one point to another - it is a process of change, of adapting, of evolving and of making a difference as you move along the path you have set out for yourself.

Over the past two decades, our university has walked a path defined by the pursuit of greatness and excellence. We have constantly explored new frontiers in teaching-learning and research and innovation, devoted ourselves to meaningful community engagement and fine-tuned our offerings to custom fit the needs of our students and stakeholders.

Although two decades have now passed, our journey is far from over. The road ahead stretches out with opportunity and we continue in the same spirit that has carried us thus far – the spirit of innovation, resilience and unwavering commitment to making a difference.
