Faculty
the faculty is good in the sense that the professors are highly experienced and scholarly. they take keen interest in the activities of the department and the staff is very courteous. The professors's performance is so important to the faculty that the Department of Economics gets a form filled by students at the start of first semester exams which asks to rate teachers' performance in various aspects.
