Students get a choice to select the subjects of their choice in the second year. Specialization is decided based on the maximum number of subjects chosen from each domain. The hostel is good and newly built. We have double-sharing rooms with attached washrooms. The rooms are maintained properly and are cleaned every 4 days by the staff. The water facilities are there on each floor.
    Faculty: The faculty members are well-qualified for the job. Overall, they are good. Some of the faculty members are excellent in their subjects due to their teaching methodology and understanding of the current generation of students. There are 3 trimesters each year totalling it to 6 in 2 years. The student-faculty ratio is around 1:15. Some good faculty members are also there. 4 specializations are offered by the institute namely marketing, finance, operation & systems, from which you can choose to specialize in your 2nd year.

    Faculty: The teachers are quite good, well-read, and qualified and very helpful. Make sure to take things up from the basics, and that helps each and every student. The subjects are well-designed. The exam system is such that we have mid-term and then end-term with quizzes all through the sem.
