My two-year MS program.

Placements: In 2023, out of 90 students in our class, 70 students were hired by companies that were invited for the campus drives. A few of them initiated their ideas by starting new ventures, which was really inspiring for the newcomers and helped us achieve more.

Infrastructure: The possibility of involvement in extracurricular activities was comparatively lesser due to the hectic schedule for exams, projects, and searching. Opportunities for leisure days were rare. The library was organized with 25,000 books, all fully relevant and oriented to the academic portions.

Faculty: Professors were strict supervisors even during the model examinations and its evaluation were at some higher standards which made the students to perform well in the internals exams. While developing newer projects, our professors were best in resolving the trouble.
