Course Curriculum Overview :
Curriculum - up-to-date with all India syllabus well-developed, thoughtfully designed, quite rigorous. Faculty - there are 15-17 full time professors and associate professors. Their teaching assistants also take tutorial classes. The quality of profesors are mostly average, with few amazing and few below average ones. Student ratio - 1:80 Teaching method is mostly dependent on classroom training with periodic hw and exams. A few professors tend to complete the syllabus late or ask questions too difficult for undergraduate students. The term exams were timely but the schedule for the same were distributed late, around 1 week before the exam starts. It also takes around 8 months to declare the results. The exams were moderately difficult. Passing won't be too hard for an average student, but scoring high is definitely a challenge.
