It has an average study, a beautiful environment, and the best culture.
Placements: There are no placements or very few placements. The placement cell is closed after 2020 and is not open yet. Now, the placement cell has become a dance classroom. We have to find an internship, and no internship is provided by the university. Some companies' placements are provided by mail from the university to apply online and give interviews online and if selected then good. The package offered is not too high and if we are not selected, we have to find a company for a job on our own.
Infrastructure: It has good infrastructure. The road is very fine and strong. It has one of the biggest and oldest libraries in India, where the Rabindranath Tagore book is placed. It comes under the World Heritage Site. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus area. Some classrooms are old, and some are newly designed, which is very good. The canteen provides good quality food at a low price. Regular sports activities happen here. Labs are also available.
Faculty: The course curriculum is not updated from 1985 in Japanese. Teachers are qualified from big universities like JNU and from foreign universities. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes us industry-ready, and we will make extra effort for that from our side too. Exams are not too difficult if we study well. The pass percentage is approximately 85%.
