A university is basically an institution for higher studies or learning. It is an educational institution where one can learn some subjects and even pursue research in them. The university is an educational institution that provides degrees to students in various subjects and fields. In the words of Albert Camus, “After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.” Universities are educational institutions that provide both undergraduate and postgraduate education. The etymology of the word “university” is from the Latin word “universitas magistrorum et scholarium” which roughly means that a community of school and teachers. G.B. Shaw had once remarked, “A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence, University education.”
