The departments also mandate students to complete an internship after the end of each academic year for experience. The placements include in-house and out-house.

The faculty members are experiences. Those that are pursuing their PhD degrees too teach. The faculty to student ratio is quite decent, allowing for one-to-one interactions. There are mid-semester exams conducted alongside presentations and assignments.

The campus is facilitated with a gym, library, and multiple cafetetias spanning across the campus.
