ACADEMICS & FACULTY

Class timings from 9 am to 4pm.
The Quality of teaching is good but whole academic portion is not covered by teachers. The students learn the rest of the topics in discussions and combined studies. Thus there is chance for great learning as well as teaching experience.
Overall experience is great.
