Answered Questions

Madurai Kamaraj University - [MKU]: 4 answered questions

Ques
Is Madurai Kamaraj University a fake university?

● Top Answer By Saurav Sharma on 11 Oct 21

Ans
My elder brother attended Madurai Kamaraj University, so I have heard a lot about this university.  It is a state university founded 50 years ago by an act of the Tamil Nadu State Legislative Assembly.  It is a large university located in a Madurai Metropolitan Suburb at the foothills of the Nagamalai Mountains.  It also has a huge and old City Campus.  Furthermore, because it is such a big university, you may need to use a car or bike to get from one location to another on campus.  Only Osmania University (Hyderabad) is bigger in comparison to this university in the South. Don't be misled by reports of a controversy sparked by vested interests against this reputable institution. According to what I've heard, it's all about their Distance Education courses. Distance education is a big business in India. As a result, it is very common for one institution to be envious of another. This can sometimes reach the level of a court case. Rest assured, it is not a fake institution. Consider yourself fortunate and blessed if you are selected for MKU.

Ques
What is the procedure to get transcripts from Madurai Kamaraj University MKU?

● Top Answer By Shahid Sharma on 11 Oct 21

Ans
One of my friends recently used Mail Transcripts to get transcripts from Madurai Kamaraj University and was very pleased with their services. This organization truly values its customers, as evidenced by the quality of its services.  He said that this team helped him a lot because he had no idea about transcripts and how he was going to get them from my university because of the pandemic situation, as he couldn't leave his house, and there were so many ups and downs.  He looked through many online sites and organizations to find someone who could do this work for him, but in the end, he learned about mail transcripts through one of the online sites, and he believes he made the best decision by going through them. Despite the fact that it was his first time applying for transcripts, this team gave him so much hope and provided him with so much information that he was able to begin the process with them.  MailTranscripts is one of the best service providers, completely trustworthy, and he highly recommends them to anyone in need of transcripts.
