The infrastructure is attractive, and you can feel at home.

Various departments come up with different types of internships; interested students can reach out to the concerned faculty and start the internships right away.

There are ample opportunities to engage in various sports activities like football, cricket, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and table tennis on a daily basis. Cultural events and fests are conducted and celebrated based on the occasions. There is a student council run by representatives elected by the students.
Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is good. There are 70 students in a class on average. The faculty members are approachable and provide both professional and personal support to the students. In my course, the exams are held yearly, while other undergraduate courses have their exams semester-wise. The exams are conducted in offline mode at the examination center allotted by the university.
