Good aspects of my college: 1. Provide a platform to showcase your skills. 2. Provide hackathons and events on a regular basis without any fees. 3. The infrastructure is too good the classroom have wifi and AC facilities Bad aspects of my college: 1. Many teacher just read the slide then it feels like why I am paying this much if they just want to read the slides. 2. Some teacher won't give you proper clarification why they cut your marks 3. The worst thing is attendence criteria that is 75% if the student fail to meet the required criteria they have to pay around 10000rs to get a chance in next semester to clear that exam 4. They provide leaves also like duty leave 10 per subject and medical leave also. There is no rounds like GD or cut-off you just have to pass the cucet exam of university and that is also easy and the admission process is even more easier everything can be done online .
