The teachers are considered as adamant and rude. Even if they are responsive to the student’s doubts, they teach more unrelated stuff to students. There have been cases that students have complained about teachers spending more time on teaching stuff that was not related to the syllabus and the radar has moved so far that teachers sometimes talk about sports and leave the books aside for which few scholar students have complaints on.
