They also take us on study trips to museums and similar venues; the hostels are satisfactory, as is the food.
    Faculty: Great selection of faculty, all of them with PhDs and experience in the particular course being taught, relevant curriculum although there should be more corporation of practical skills useful for the job world. The faculty is great, and very approachable too.
    Other: There are a lot fests held all round the year, a lot of fun, networking, can be done, u can also write GAT exam and get scholarship upto 100%.
