Very good management. There are different committee/counsils for various activities. These bodies faculties and students members to drive all activities.

There are two options for MTech - 2 year Teaching Assistant and 3 year Research Assistant program. I had taken 3 year RA program, where I've allocated to one of the labs.

Most of the courses had capstone projects/ assignments to apply what have learnt.

Feasible. Semester fee was around 36000 to 45000 with food and accommodation. Tution fee was around 16000. Since there is stipend available for PG students (>12,500 per month) it was okay for us to manage all the expenses our own. Total fees consists of hostel fee (food and accommodation), transportation fee (for internal bus), tution fee, medical fee etc.
