I have zeal and interest to serve mankind that's why I choose this course as a career. Faculty ratio is about 30 and student ratio is about 450 (approx.). Faculty members are well qualified in their own field. The teaching method very interactive, interesting and based upon practical knowledge. The terminal exams held after every 3 months. The exam pattern quite difficult. Student should have deep to superficial knowledge (both) in order to pass exam.
