The worst CS department teachers and a strict college.

Faculty: Teachers in the Computer Science department are not well-qualified and lack proper knowledge. For semester exams, students have to prepare on their own because the questions that teachers mark as important are often not asked in the semesters. The college internal exams and semester exams are completely different.

Average course, unless you are extremely proactive. Placements for microbiology are below average.

Faculty: Some teachers know what they are talking about and can actually be of help to you. However, some can only read from a PDF or textbook verbatim and do not put in the effort to actually teach. The curriculum is pretty relevant, but I think it is too general. There are many things that we cannot study in detail because there are too many different topics. The exams are always hard. Teachers say that certain topics will come up in the exam. But the question setter often includes a 20-mark question o...
