Maharishi Markandeshwar University received the tag of an university only recently, that is in 2007. One cannot list it among the best universities in North India but it definitely will get there in the years to come and that is because of one simple reason that the people here have high aspirations and the students are talented.  The faculty is not the best but that should not stop you from considering the university. NAAC accredited it Grade ‘A’ which is actually a very good grade and gives the university an edge. There are modern classrooms but there are things that need to be fixed like the internet availability. There are not many opportunities for one to indulge in sports. The lectures are not very informative but if someone is self-motivated and wants to put in efforts to learn better and more, there is a huge library and many resources that can be put to good use.  Latest News stories in the media have shown a great deal of improvement. Overall, Maharishi Markandeshwar University is a good choice and one won't regret opting for it.

An institute can be marked as good or not based on many factors, Quality of teaching, infrastructure, facilities, etc. MMU Mullana is good for MCA, as they provide good infrastructure and almost all basic needs. The table below gives a brief comparison between MMU Mullana and CGC Landran. Particulars MMU Mullana CGC Landran Campus 150 Acres 3 Acres Course Fees (MCA) 2.94 Lakhs 2.62 Lakhs Eligibility (MCA) 50% in BCA (general) 50% in BCA (General) Key highlights: MMU Mullana has a huge campus of 150 Acres, with several kinds of facilities including Fast food, canteen, books, library, etc available inside. For sports lovers, facilities for both indoor and outdoor games (especially football) are provided. There are issues with the management for the unavailability of proper support. For students wanting to get information or academic data, they have to wait for 2 days to get their work done. There was no proper online portal before to check the basic information. The faculties are not up to the mark. There are teachers of computer science who don’t even know the basics of C programming, which is quite dissatisfying. Most teachers are just graduates and don’t have enough teaching experience too. Considering all the facts, MMU Mullana will not be a good option for MCA.
