I came know about this college through my relatives. Coming from a different city and different state, a different culture, I was worried at the beginning. But the environment of the campus was warm and I felt as if I belonged here. My teachers are kind, helpful, and enriched with knowledge. Under their guidance, I grew every day. I got a good group of friends who helped me learn Bengali language
Practicals, camps were a great source in getting in touch with theory and I always participated in the camps.
Even at the time of pandemic, our learning was not breached. Our online class started as early as possible and our faculties have taken regular classes and shared their knowledge. I felt like at the times of difficulties we grew stronger.
