STUDENT GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL CELL

A fair process for student concerns.

As per UGC regulations, a Grievance Redressal Committee has been constituted for the purpose of redressal of grievances of the students and the staff.

In order to meet the increasing legitimate expectations of students and staff for better, faster and more effective service, SAU shall constantly endeavor to improve its service rules, standards and capabilities.
