Maharramov was one of the most unpopular rectors in the history of BSU. He did not enjoy authority either among scholars or students, and had the reputation of a "business manager", which he was attached to when he was a university farm manager. Maharramov at the university all the time went with security. When he was at the university were introduced strict control over the activities of students.
