It remains open from 9 AM to 9 PM. You will get Wi-Fi, books, e-books, and many more options. In the hostel, rooms are of decent size, and bathrooms are also in nice condition. Daily maintenance happens. Wi-Fi is available in every room. Food quality is also okay not very good, but satisfactory. There is a dispenser inside the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, but the curriculum is very old and not suited to modern days. It does not make a student industry-ready. Exams are quite difficult, especially the end-of-semester exams, because the syllabus is very wide, and they ask mid-semester portions. The pass percentage is 35 percent.
Other: I got as per my score, which is good according to current days, because the industry is growing. Industry-ready elements should be included in the course, and practical aspects should be increased. Campus life is very good. Many great fests are organised on campus every year, and students enjoy them a lot.
