Question

Which of the following is the correct way to write this sentence?

• A. She is a professor at University of Kerala.
• B. She is a professor at the Kerala University.
• C. She is a professor at the University of Kerala
• D. A,B and C

Answer 1

Answer:

C. She is a professor at the University of Kerala

• Rule: When a university's name follows the pattern "University of [Place]," we must use "the". The structure "of [Place]" makes it a specific, defined entity.

• Application: "University of Kerala" follows the "University of [Place]" pattern, so it requires "the". Option C is correct.

• Contrasting Rule: If the name follows the pattern "[Place] University," we do not use "the" (e.g., "She works at Kerala University," "He studies at Oxford University"). Option B incorrectly adds "the" to this pattern.
