it's good i have learnt a lot in my 2 yrs of college

College Infrastructure

It's 10 on 10 because when I first entered the college it was under construction but now I am in 2nd yr and the infrastructure is really osm..♥️♥️. In our university we have lots of building is are also good but ours is something else.

Helping future students in making decisions feels good

College Infrastructure

Goa Business School offers a great learning environment for MSc Data Science it's campus is very big in greenary but if someone has no vehicle for them to travel from one block to another is difficult but campus is old not very up to date

Facilities like classroom , library, and wifi are not outsta

College Infrastructure

The college infrastructure is average. Classrooms are decent and have the basic facilities required, but they are not very modern. One major issue is that the library is far from our block, which makes it difficult to visit frequently. The campus is clean and maintained well, but some buildings require renovation. Wi-Fi is available but not very strong in some areas. There are common areas for students to sit and relax, but more study-friendly spaces would be appreciated.The faculty is good but syllabus needs updates.
