Remarks
The institute was comparatively nearer to my home state, while at the same time offered a sense of independence that can be found only after leaving home state. The professors and research experience provided by the institute was excellent,The only prospective bad thing about the college might be it's location, situated in Kalyani it is nearly a 1.5hrs travel by train from Howrah station in Kolkata and 40mins drive from dum dum airport.But I wanted a peaceful place away from all the bustling of the city so the institute was perfect for me.
