Hostel facilities are decent.You get rooms depending on which Hostel you are in.For initial 1-2 year in b.tech you will have to share rooms.Once you are in 4th or final year there is option to get single room.Mess is totally privatised and food are good enough.

We have 2 major exams per semester One is called Mid semester examination other one is End semester examination. Apart from that we have our lab test, quizzes and class test in each subjects.Labs can be hectic sometimes depending on the instructor and the subject but they are very useful to gain the basic depth of the subject.Exams can be very hectic if you missed your classes frequently and not studied regularly otherwise they are peaceful.

Admission

Once the result were out, the counselling process started.It was a total online process we had to fill our choices on the websites of JEE. We filled our choices in sequential manner.Like I filled Computer science first then I chose maths and computing which I got eventually. Once our choices were locked we had to report to our respective zone(mine was IIT Bombay).There we had some formalities and we were all set for admission in our IITs .We had to undergo all the mentioned medical test which was required by IIT kgp.Then when we came here we submitted our form and our room was allocated in the respective Hall of residence .We got ourself registered for the semester and then the classes began.

Faculty

4

All the faculties of my university are highly qualified.They all come from some research background.Most of them have vast experience which they gained by involving in several projects over the years.Most of them wants us to learn by ourselves by giving proper assignment and projects.However they all are eager to help at any time possible.They are friendly in nature and very easy to access.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My decision to choose this course depended on the fact that this course provides you with the opportunity to get various jobs in the industries with a high lpa. But this college does not help much in that aspect. All I had to do was myself. It is my humble opinion that the institution should improve its guidance in the area of its teaching methods. The exams were twice a year and were quite difficult on their own.
