Disappointing Management and Unfair Policies I am extremely disappointed with how this university treats its students. Despite paying my fees in full, I am being threatened with not being allowed to sit for my exams due to a 75% attendance shortage. The administration completely refuses to understand that I had genuine personal reasons for my absences. What makes this completely unfair is the university's own lack of accountability: Frequent Class Cancellations: Classes are routinely canceled at the last minute because professors don’t show up or arrive late. Force Majeure: The university was completely shut down for a period due to the war situation, which was beyond any student's control. How can students be penalized for attendance under these circumstances? The university expects full compliance from students but shows zero responsibility for their own poor scheduling and management. If this matter is not resolved fairly and I am barred from my exams, I will have no choice but to escalate this issue and lodge a formal complaint with the Higher Education Authorities (KHDA). Please think twice before taking admission here. They take your full fees but offer zero support when you face a genuine crisis.

My experience with Manipal Dubai was extremely disappointing. I joined the university with a clear idea of the program I wanted to study. But during the admissions process, I felt significant pressure from the admissions team to choose another specific qualification instead. Rather than respecting a student's own academic interests, the approach often felt like convincing or pushing students into courses they did not originally plan to pursue. What made the situation worse was the attitude shown when students expressed hesitation. Instead of being supported in making independent academic choices, comparisons were sometimes made with other students, implying that if someone else could do a particular course, everyone should be able to do it. This creates unnecessary pressure and guilt among students who want to follow the path that suits them best. Another issue that stood out during my time there was the campus culture around student behaviour. In many classrooms, basic discipline and respect were often lacking. Disruptions during lectures, students talking over teachers, and a general lack of classroom etiquette were not uncommon. Unfortunately, these everyday issues were rarely addressed unless the situation escalated into something very serious. The result is that students who behave poorly often face no consequences for basic classroom behaviour. Disciplinary action appears to happen mainly when incidents become extremely serious — such as harassment, ragging, or illeg
