Beyond the academic trials and tribulations, my friends and I indulged in a variety of activities, creating cherished memories. The college’s canteen, holds a special place in my heart, symbolising the immense joy I had with my friends. In summary, my time at college was nothing short of fabulous.

But the more important aspect that drew me in was the academic excellence that it was providing. Having read more about this institute convinced me to enroll here. Also, an acquaintance I know had only good things to say about this institute.

    Every day spent in college was memorable and by far the best days of my life. During our free time, my friends and I used to sit on the campus grounds and discuss random things. 

 Did you have the opportunity to participate in internships related to backend development?

Yes. During my academic journey, I gained an opportunity to actively participate in different activities which helped me enhance my skills at the backend level through various internships. These experiences allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge gained in my coursework to real-world projects.
