The classrooms and labs of our institute are also good. The facilities present in the hostel are average, as the infrastructure is old and needs various renovations. The quality of food is good, as for the whole week, the food from South to North is cooked. The sports and games activities on campus are limited. Medical facilities for students are free for their 2-year course programme.
Faculty: Every teacher in the course is a top professional in their subject. They are all helpful and informative at the highest quality. Many of the courses teach about concepts and roles that benefit the students for their careers in the various industries. E.g ESG, EIA, Green accounting, etc. Semester exams are moderate to hard on a difficult level. The passing percentage is 60%.
Other: I wanted to work in the field of sustainability, ESG and many more related fields, which can help in the betterment of the environment and provide a long, sustainable green economy. My course provides various studies of Green accounting, climate change, sustainability, EIA and how these studies work in the real world. There are some basic forestry courses in our course that are not very relevant to our course; they can be removed or improved. Our campus is a quiet place where people come in the early morning and in the evening to clear their minds and have a peaceful time.
