Alumni Testimonial

“Studying at Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth provided me with a great deal of opportunities to develop my skills and abilities. I had a good relationship with the faculty members and it was easy to approach them with any concerns that I had. The professors are always ready to help. There is an array of clubs within CVV to pursue your interests such as dance, fashion, music, drama, photography and more. My experience in CVV has positively transformed me as a person, particularly the Seva Club. Through this club, my peers and I volunteered and contributed back to society by helping people in need. The curriculum overall was intensive and rigorous but rewarding. I learned so much throughout my education here and made lifelong connections. CVV is an excellent choice to further your education and achieve your goals. "
