Now who should not join this university? First, those that do not meet the eligibility requirements mentioned above. Second, people who genuinely want to study. Third, individuals who know English.... Infinite, who need jobs in future. :D. I am sure I have made my point, however if you still want to risk it, then I must say you are definitely adventures and love challenges life...
