To be honest, I'd give the university a three out of five. Although the faculty members work extremely hard and are excellent, some of them aren't even qualified to teach. Academically speaking, it is a 3/5, and aside from that, the campus is excellent and enormous. The facilities are excellent; you can use wifi in the classrooms, and there is a utility centre with a stationary store, fruit stand, CD store, canteen, and many other items. The lakeside is also a lovely place to hang out with friends. Additionally, there is a badminton court, a football pitch, a basketball court, a cricket ground, an open gym and yep, there is a gym in hostels as well.

So, yes, the campus is extremely attractive. Outside the campus, there is restaurant and Tapris close to the institution; I'm sure you won't regret visiting them.
