What a beautiful nature plus environment. Loved this place. Use to spend about 3 hours at the garden (university premises) every Saturdays till my wife comes from her external classes.
Peaceful parking, safety and calmness.
It's really huge and much more to explore.

One of Sri Lanka's top universities, renowned for producing highly skilled professionals. This institution is distinguished not only by its comprehensive academic programs across all faculties but also by its commitment to meeting the demands of the current job market. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to blend theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for their careers. A highlight of this university is its provision of free education to all eligible students, making quality higher education accessible and fostering a diverse student body. My time here has been incredibly valuable, equipping me with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the engineering field. The university's dedication to excellence and inclusivity has truly made my educational journey memorable. While my engineering degree from a leading Sri Lankan university provided a solid foundation, updating the current syllabus to explore future job market trends could further enhance its relevance and effectiveness.
