Course Curriculum Overview :
The curriculum is designed in a well organised manner, in which we go step by step to every part of our coursr, as a student of computer science in 1st year I learned about the languages and now in 2nd year I am learning DSA. But in respect to the core courses being related to CSE I do have more courses of electronics. The curriculum designed is best for the real life problems as the assignments are based on real life problems. I can say that if the courses related to electronics were less and related to computer Science were more, it would have made more impact on students. The difficulty level of exams and assignments are pretty normal, if you have studied in the course and you know what the course is then exams are pretty easy for you. Some faculty sometimes make hard exam papers but not to worry about anything as the grade scale can be of relative grading.
