The research was descriptive. The data was collected through an open-ended questionnaire from 135 students of four leading universities from twin cities over one month. The research can help us understand whether this mode of learning has effectively played a mentoring role for our youth or is manipulated by insufficient knowledge of religious texts, resultantly promoting intersect harmony or conflict
