For postgraduate programs, candidates must pass an entrance test with a high score. The university boasts highly qualified faculty, mostly alumni of NITs with over a decade of experience, contributing significantly to student learning and activities. Despite this, the exam system is challenging, with a pass rate of about 40%.
