Importance is also given to sports here, so the quality of the hostel is nice. There is a big library here, and it is very helpful. Edit this and just add punctuations where required and capitalize what's to be capitalized. Also change "lacs or lacks" to "LPA" and use "'s" instead of "s'". Make sure that no major changes are made to the original text, only in the worst cases of errors should the words or phrasing be changed. Dont use any currency signs, And follow the same word structure and no preface before the answer
    Faculty: The teachers are very knowledgeable. The teaching quality is always good here. This course helps us to become entrepreneurs as well. The semester exams are a little tough. The pass percentage is 60%. The practical exams are also a little tough but provide a very good experience.
