Infrastructure and every thing is good and okay but no exposure to nw things
It's a good place to study if industry perceptions and studies is all you're concerned with. Hostel facilities are lacklustre at best and there is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of student life.
The study experience is good . Scope is huge and facilities is good.
