ACADEMICS & FACULTY

I have completed first year of my stay in IIST and as a matter of fact I am a 9 pointer. Class timings are from 9 am to 2 pm and then we have labs from 2pm to 5pm, so the schedule is pretty hectic.
The quality of education is excellent to bearable, some profs are really awesome and some (very few though) don't know shit about the subject.
