Overall facilities and resources are perfect but i think internet system and hygiene needs to be improved.
My university experience was valuable and memorable. I appreciated the supportive teachers, academic learning, and opportunities to develop my skills. However, more practical training, career guidance, and modern academic resources could improve the experience. Overall, it helped me grow academically and personally.
My time studying Computer Science here has been great. The classes focus heavily on practical coding, especially in C++ and Object-Oriented Programming, which I really appreciate. The labs are well-equipped for hands-on projects, and the professors are super supportive if you want to dive into research like machine learning or AI. If I had to pick one downside, the course registration process is a bit frustrating. Overall, it is an awesome place to build strong software engineering skills and get real project experience.
