Classes start from 8:45 a.m. and over at 4:15 p.m. You have some lectures free in between though there is no lunch break. You have to grab your food during your free lectures only. Assignments are given from time to time. Time table varies from stream to stream. Some students get free at 2:00 pm. Overall college demands hardworking students. Method of teaching is very good. Teachers use presentations if required. No spoonfeeding is provided.
All festivals are celebrated in college with great zeal and enthusiasm. College's club is very large.
I was given the timetable at the beginning of each session. The duration of one lecture is of 45 minutes. We had to be regular in order to obtain the minimum required attendance i.e. 75%. Also, we submitted many assignments and projects for each semester. We also gave many presentations. These add to our internal assessment. The teachers in our college are well qualified. They're all experts in their fields or subjects. The teaching method, however, is not that good. Some teachers failed to complete the syllabus on time. So no time was left for revisions. The senior teachers in the college are way too strict. The younger ones are more dedicated. The college has a very weird rule that once you enter the college, you cannot exit before 12 noon. Also, no student is allowed in the college after 12. This is very inconvenient. My overall experience wasn't really good.
There is a placement cell, a Rotaract club, and several other societies. The literary society of the college is called 'Mukhtalif' and it holds many poetry slams. There is always one or the other event going on in the college. Many workshops and seminars are held in the Gymnasium Hall. The one fest that is the most awaited by students is the Meraki. This fest remains the talk of the town for quite a while. Since it is an Anglo Vedic institution.
