The faculty to student ratio is 20:1. In my experience, the faculty members approchablity varied. Some of them were really interactive and were always there for help . They encouraged and guided all the students thorughout the course. I particularly appreciated professor P.Thapa who taught Indian Economics and S.Das who was incharge of Game Theory. Both of these mentors really have unique style of teaching and it was always a quick and interesting class with them. Their illustrations and way of explanation is of top notch. The concepts taught by them are so easy and simple to comprehend. There were some instaces where I felt that the Macroeconomic and Econometrics faculty members teaching was not really cleara and conductive to understanding. These were the most complex subjects and were taught with just limited theory paper and some examples.The academic curriculum covered 2 exams each for all the semester. First exam was the internal assessment and was of 30 marks and the final exams was of 70 marks. The internal assessment was of moderate level but the final exam was really lenghty and complex. The exams are generally difficult , given this there were 3-5 students who could not clear the exams.
