It is slowly improving the infrastructure.

Faculty: The quality of teachers depends on how they teach. The English teacher is awesome. I can say that the way she teaches makes the concepts simple with real-world examples. The lab teachers are even better, and the theory teaching is also good. I would rate it 8.5/10. The passing percentage is 40%. Semesters 2, 4, and 6 are slightly difficult.

Faculty: The teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. They can make you understand every topic. We can't be sure that a B.Sc. course will make you industry-ready, but if you're interested, the faculty will help you. The semester exams are slightly tough but we can pass easily if we know the concept. The pass percentage is 35 percent.
