Gender ratio depends on the branch. CS, EC, Telecom, Biotechnology, IS, IT have a healthy gender ratio. Whereas Mechanical and IEM have lot more guys than girls.

If the student has a modest and respectful attitude with his professors, he is treated with equal respect by them.

First year hostel is not very good. It is due for renovation. Usually rooms are shared among 2-3 students. Second year hostel is better than first year hostel. Rooms are shared among 2 students.
