If I wanted to be pedantic I’d point out the following:
You have put a building outline around the whole campus. Instead, tag this way as amenity=college (see below) and then trace the individual buildings as building=yes (and each building has a separate name, e.g. Main Centre, Building B or whatever each one is called)
I don’t think this is a university - I would call it a college. As a rule of thumb, a university issues educational degrees, whereas the Etisalat Academy, as far as I can tell, is a further education college offering training in IT and technical areas.
Personally, I would just set the college name to Etisalat Academy - the rest of the name should sit in address tags. The name should reflect whatever is seen on the building itself, or failing that the name that the academy uses on official documents and/or its website
The road segment (id 118782097) that connects to the Al Nahda Road (primary) should be set to primary_link, and the segment (id 116495397) that connects to the trunk road should be set as trunk_link
I don’t think the roads you have added should be secondary. You can see a guide to how to tag roads in the UAE here:

(NB I wrote the guide, so open to suggestions and improvements).
At best, the dual carriageway section is possibly tertiary, but the single carriageways I would probably tag as unclassified
