Mess food is bad North Indian people are a little tough to adjust to; non-vegetarian food is good, but vegetarians need to adjust.

Faculty: In college, rules are only for girls; the same thing is ignored for boys. Teachers restrict many things for girls only, but in teaching, they are good but a little fast.

Faculty: All the faculty members are well qualified and very knowledgeable. One thing I can be sure about is the education quality of the campus is great. I was an operations student and we had the best operations faculty. The teaching quality of the faculty members is worth sitting for the 1 Hr classes. The college offers a PGDM course which is basically different from an MBA college as the college can change the curriculum and subjects offered as per the current industry need and business environment. We are taken to different Industrial visits to experience the real standards and the working of the industries. We have 6 trimesters - a mid term and an end term. The exams are mostly all application based.
