The student-teacher ratio is 15:1 The faculty is supportive and clear our doubts.

The faculty of my college is good enough. There are best teachers staff available in my college. The college timing of my college was 9:00 am to 4:40pm. In this time period there are 6 lecture period in a day. There are some laboratory periods in which students have to perform practically.

So there are 7 lectures in total in a day. The average age 20 to 22 years and the qualifications is plus two. A faculty is a division within a university or college comprising one subject area or a group of related subject areas, possibly also delimited by level. In American usage, such divisions are generally referred to as colleges or schools, but may also mix terminology.

There is college time is 9 am to 4:40 pm. And the lectures are 6-7 in a day and there is labs and other some lectures held with the subjects and the most subject in every semester is 6 or 7 .and there is industrial training held after the exams of the 3rd years.

All the teachers are good but some teachers are the best because all teachers are not equal all teachers have some difference. So my opinion is that you come and then choose any result.

Maximum numbers of the faculty members are good years of exprencers some were from the industriy sector and some of are from education sector.they were highly qualified and few of them were from NIT's and IIT's they were very cooprative and friendly in class,extra classes are also provided to students,those are week in studies.
