Strong focus on academic learning.

The hostel food was average in taste.

It is not a very great place if you are looking for placements.
Placements: Placement opportunities are not there as such; it's just a master's degree and a few normal teaching opportunities in a few schools, which account for only 20% of the placement for the entire batch or even less. The majority of the students opt for higher studies. No internship opportunities are provided.
