Required Exams for Admission

IELTS (6)

It was a good experience as a whole. But the major drawback is not having proper guidance on getting scholarships or grants.

Course Curriculum

6

The curriculum was partially based on advance subjects of structural engineering. However no industrial exposure was provided to aspirants to dig down into industrial challenges.

Faculty

4

The ratio is good. The faculty is also good but not exceptional. Some of the newly appointed professionals were not well aware with their subjects and impacted negatively on students.

Campus Life

6

The campus life was good with a great number of food shops near white avenue. The campus has in-house facilities for gymnasium, libraries and sports.

Placement

3

I am not really sure cause I was not provided this kind of opportunity and since the Covid hit the whole world so badly, it will further take couple of years to regain/built new environment for students placement in research opportunities.
