उत्तर
Universities mold students by providing various opportunities to develop their soft skills and to develop values that would contribute to the process of nation-building. They enable graduates to develop patience and perseverance. They help them develop faith in their own inherent ability to shoulder responsibilities. They are oriented to become citizens of a democracy and repay society quality services that would reform the lives of the poor people.
They develop a true spirit of democracy among young graduates. They enable appreciation of others' points of view. The graduates are also provided opportunities to adjust to differences through amicable discussions. The universities, apart from imparting education mold the students’ character and personality too.
“The quality of a university is measured more by the kind of student it turns out than the kind it takes in.”
