📝 Instruction Methodology:
The method of instruction consists of lectures, tutorials, presentations, projects, surveys, article sessions, assignments, term reports, web search, supplementary text readings and practical lab sessions. Modern training aids are extensively employed to support the learning process. The Institute believes in maintaining a continuous pressure through a regular stream of assignments, monthly exams, quizzes, project presentations and other deadlines that should keep the student busy every week of the semester. This produces a competitive environment that develops goal-oriented approach and ability to work under pressure. The students also get numerous opportunities for releasing the academic pressure through extracurricular activities.
