A great University but needs to solve some issues
A great University but the main problem is that they force students to attend offline classes without any option and also want students to take a second language. After it's a good university and the courses are also easy to understand.
Experience of course
The courses in my university is quite large in number.bachelor's in science gave me a platform to be the best in science .i always concentrated on experimental classes which helped me to gain more understanding in theory.univeristy has well packed with students and less interaction.
