Academics

Quality is good enough. All the faculty are well knowledged. They have good knowledge to guide us with different projects. But students have to give their efforts by making use of resources given by faculty. They have to make use of reference books and practice questions to shine in exams.

It was life changing to be here in the first place.

Verified Review

Academics

I'm right now in BTech in Chemical Engineering in NIT Calicut. The quality of teaching depends mostly on the faculty and there has been a spectrum of how it varied with each. Yes, our batch onwards the curriculum was changed and I thought it was one of the most dumbest decision ever since we were taught what our seniors were learning at the same time without having the basics. It was awful and got my cg down drastically. However I made it back the next sem.
