Rabindranath Tagore put stock in outside training and had reservations about any educating done inside four dividers. This was because of his conviction that dividers speak to molding of brain. Tagore did not have a decent feeling about the Western strategy for instruction presented by the British in India; regarding this matter, Tagore and Gandhiji's assessment coordinated. Tagore once stated, "I don't recall what I was instructed, I just recollect what I learnt." Tagore's thought on training was that each individual is virtuoso and that all understudies may not sprout in the meantime. So he conceived another arrangement of learning in Visva-Bharati. He enabled understudies to proceed with their course till the understudy and his educator both are fulfilled.

At Visva-Bharati University, if a course requested by an understudy isn't accessible, at that point the college will outline a course and bring instructors for that course. The college would not be troubled by the thought of whether there is an interest for the course
