Overall, faculty is good. Teachers are very helpful and supportive.
Placements: Since it is a newly introduced course in the university, the placement percentage is quite low. But, they still try to provide placements and also guide students for jobs related to the subject. They also announce job opportunities from time to time so that students can earn while studying on campus.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, and water is available. Classrooms are very nice. During the summer season, there are little bit problem, but they are manageable. Hostels are available, but room allotment takes time. Rooms are allotted to only 2 girls and 2 boys each year.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. They assist you with subject-related queries and also guide you regarding your future. They are friendly, so you can approach them whenever needed. Staff members are also very cooperative and always ready to help.
