Faculty
Many professors are leaders in their fields, offering deep insights into their subjects. But they often follow outdated methods of teaching which may impact the interactions in classrooms. But they are open to discussions on subject, and ready to clear doubts even in 1:1 sessions. Our course curriculum is a little outdated There are two exams every semester - MidSemester and EndSemester. Each course paper is different in difficulty levels and marking schemes depending on professor. To generalise difficulty ranges between moderate to hard. Number of students that pass also depends on professor, few of them never fail anyone while the others keep a fixed number of students that fail
