  • Alumni suggest that self-preparation (off-campus drives, competitive exams) is essential for better opportunities.

2. Faculty

• Strengths:

  • Experienced professors in core departments (Engineering, Pharmacy, Management).

  • Some faculty members are research-active, particularly in sciences and engineering.

  • Approachable and supportive in many departments.

• Weaknesses:
