What Students Say
Likes
- It is because this institute has a lab related to my research.
- The campus is beautiful with a lot of infrastructure like library and sitting space for studying. The campus is also vast in terms of area. There are a lot of sports facilities like indoor stadium, gym, football, soccer, etc.
Dislikes
- The campus looks beautiful but it is not active. After 5PM, no eateries are open inside the campus. All the clubs like dance, music, machine learning, etc. are just for namesake. The location of campus is also far from the city.
Overall the experience was good. There are many pros and cons. Although the routine life was boring, the infrastructure was damn good.
