There are 3 Computer Courses in the first year itself, of which one is a basic programming course and the other two (Data Structures and IT Workshop) hold vast potential for research.

We have an excellent campus life .The campus is always buzzing with activity with various events being organised regularly. The gender ratio is less in our college due to the fewer number of girl students. We, the students definitely have parties in our Hostels and Wings about twice a month or so.

No, they were not that frequent so as to leave us with a hectic day nor were they chilled out. We had labs regularly along the courses as and when it was scheduled in the time table. We had around 2-3 labs per week. We have three exams in each semester, two Periodical examinations and one End Semester exam. In the periodicals we have at most two exams in one day, which becomes a little hectic but is still manageable.

The faculties at our college are very knowledgeable and experienced. The faculties themselves have degrees from the best colleges in the world. They are extremely qualified and also have a great passion for teaching. They are very friendly and while teaching they are so friendly that it doesn't even appear that they are so senior to us.
