Dislikes
- 85% attendance criteria, which is ultimately a failure since, there are students getting placed into higher salaried jobs, but not attending a single lecture throughout.
- The infrastructure is not appropriate as compared to the fees they take, since the classrooms do not have proper seats, the projector sometimes does not work.
- Discipline is necessary, but excess discipline maintenance is toxic, since students are not kindergarten students, so it is a total waste of time to maintain that much amount of discipline.
