We have also signed an MoU with Panoli Industries Association, Panoli GIDC, which is a house of more than 600 industries of Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Engineering, Plastic & Packaging, Pesticides, etc.
It is my immense luck and fortune to be a part of P. P. Savani University. The entire faculty and department leave no stone unturned to shape one’s future. Continuous efforts are made consistently to upgrade the potential of the students.
Hello I am Harshal, a student from the school of Liberal Arts and management studies at PPSU. I'm a 2nd year student pursuing the Liberal Arts program that is BA honours. I must share that the program here is very unique and offers an unusual combination of subjects to choose from. The faculty members are very learned and cooperative.
I chose this university because this university provides every aspect of my development and knowledge under one umbrella. Our University organizes cultural, sports as well as literary programs which keep the students fresh and fit.
I am glad to be a part of P. P Savani University. Many opportunities and challenges came in the way which made me a dynamic person. Here knowledge is always led by creativity. It is the place where teaching goes beyond the classroom.
One thing that fascinated me the most about the BA programme is that we are not directly rushed towards the majors. We are given enough time during the foundation courses to explore and decide what we want. Although since the time I've joined the university, it has mostly been online classes, but there's no compromise on the rigour of the sessions. I highly recommend the BA program at PPSU.
One’s Alma Mater is always a matter to be proud of . Being a part of it gives the much needed support and fun. The lovely moments of those past days are always unforgottable. Keeping those memories alive we move forward in life.
Alumni Association at P P Savani University always puts effort in building up a better future for the students. It aims to avail a convenient and expedient future for all. We also believe in “Unity in Diversity”.
