I have a few friends who graduated from Saurashtra University and here are some of the things that they mentioned.  Attend classes regularly. Make your own class notes. Attend laboratory classes. Otherwise, you will face problems during examinations. Use the library books and magazines to explore your subjects in depth. Internal Examination scores play a major role in semester results, so take these exams seriously. Take part in exhibitions and technical festivals. This will help you get rid of your stage fear and improve your interaction skills.  Also, along with studies try to enjoy your college life. 

Saurashtra University is one of the biggest and most popular universities in Gujarat. According to my friends studying there, during the weekends there are various things and activities which the students can do to enjoy and have fun. If you like wandering and hiking, then you can go to the Gir forests during your weekend and there are many places where you can plan to stay overnight with your friends.  If you love to go to beaches, then you can go to Diu, Somnath, and Dwarka. But it will depend on which part of Saurashtra you are living in.  There are some beautiful places such as Pradyuman Park, Ishwariya Park, Aji Dam, Bichri where you can visit to enjoy the greenery and get peace of mind.  There are also some temples such as Saibaba temple on Jamnagar Road, Iskcon temple on Kalawad Road, and Trimandir on Rajkot-Ahmedabad highway where you can definitely visit and get some blessings from god. There are some of the popular malls available such as Big Bazaar, Reliable Mall, Crystal Mall for the people who love shopping where you find hundreds of items under one roof. Hence, these are some of the popular places where you can go on your weekends along with your friends to have fun and make some beautiful memories.

The checklist of WES (World Education Services) is very strict and they give importance to the recognition of the institution more than the programs offered there.  Here are some of the things which will be checked when your documents will reach them. Validation of your institution Your institute must be present in authoritative sources such as on the website of the Ministry of Education or in the accrediting body of the country in question.  Because the non-university institutions are not generally included in major reference publications.  To get some information published by the education authorities of the country, one has to dig deeper to verify them. Recognition of institution There are certain laws and regulations by the government for the establishment of educational institutions.  It is essential for the institution to be familiar with all the rules and also follow them accordingly.  The government institutions are generally recognized but for the private institutions, it varies depending upon the country.  Education Chronology  The chronology of a student's educational background must be compatible with the age of that particular student.  For example, the student must have completed his/her high school before applying for an undergraduate program and should have completed his/her bachelor's before applying for a graduate program.  Hence, these are some of the points which will be checked thoroughly and if all these things are clear then the institute will be recognised by WES for Canada or Australia. 

Visit the university campus and collect the required application form. Fill in the required information and submit the same with relevant documents. You will require attested photocopies of mark sheets and degree certificates of all semesters. With this done, the transcripts would be directly sent from the university within 20-25 working days, The fee for a transcript varies according to the courses. The approximate cost is INR 700-800 and an additional amount of INR 2500 for shipping the transcript to your address. 

Yes, you can pursue it. There are several external students pursuing MBA along with the regular ones. There are quite a number of irregular students in the classes as well because they are occupied with their office work. They are permitted by the HOD and respective authorities. In conclusion, you can most certainly opt for an external MBA Course from University. It is also a PGDBM (Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management).
