Student Experiences

I am C. Lokesh, Ph.D. Scholar, Department of Agronomy, PJTAU. The university library has been an important part of my academic life during my doctoral studies. It has a good collection of textbooks, reference books, journals, and previous research theses that are very useful for both coursework and research. The access to online journals and digital resources has helped me a lot in reviewing literature and updating my research work. The library provides a calm and comfortable environment for reading and focused study, which is especially helpful during research hours. The staff are approachable and always ready to assist whenever support is needed in finding books or accessing online resources. Overall, the university library has greatly supported my learning and research, and it continues to be a valuable academic resource throughout my Ph.D. programme.
