  In the present work, we discuss the Wheeler-DeWitt quantization scheme for an
n-dimensional anisotropic cosmological model with a perfect fluid in presence
of a massless scalar field. We identify the time parameter using the
generalization of Schutz formalism and find the wavepacket of the universe
following standard Wheeler-DeWitt methodology of quantum cosmology. We also
calculate the expectation values of scale factors and volume element. We show
that quantized model escapes the singularity and supports bouncing universe
solutions.
