Abstract

This survey aimed to assess students’ perceptions of their departments at GBPUAT, Pantnagar, focusing on academics, infrastructure, student support, and overall learning environment. Responses from students indicated a generally positive academic experience, with most students agreeing that the curriculum is relevant, teaching methods are effective, and evaluation processes are fair. While laboratory and library facilities were rated satisfactory, classroom infrastructure received lower ratings, highlighting a need for improvement. Students appreciated research opportunities and workshops, though career guidance and extracurricular support were seen as moderate. The departmental environment was viewed positively, with strong communication, inclusiveness, and motivation reported. Overall, the study concludes that students have a favourable perception of their departments, but improvements in physical infrastructure and career development services are recommended to enhance student satisfaction and learning outcomes.
