Best place to walk-in with all your heart and soul. 5/5

At times it feels like an army camp with rigid uniform rules and 8 lectures a day schedule. Academics is given the highest priority and there is hardly any extracurricular activities for the students to take part in. But yes one could always form clubs and initiate something of he/she wants or take part in inter-college events in their own accord.
