It is not mentioned in the question where the crossing is, its either left side or right side, how it is assumed to be in left?

If Hemant's house is in the East, he can walk towards west or extreme East. If he choose the West then answer is North otherwise answer is South. They should mention the actual direction.

I thought he starts from his home, say the origin and moves towards east. So I concluded that the university is towards the south but the explanation shows exactly the opposite of that. It is not mentioned that the house is in the east.

@Aditya.
In case of direction problems you don't need to think too much complicatedly. Generally it is supposed to walk in the straight line if no other directional condition is given. So, it is apparent that after exiting from home he must go towards west as his home situated in east.
Thanks.

If we consider he moved right from his house as east, then according to the problem his university should be in the south because he is coming from west, the road straight is the east, the one at his left is the theatre hence to the right i.e south is the university.
