My experience was an excellent one, from teaching to support from the faculty members, everything was beyond my expectations. The content provided was very good, and any question I came across in my exams was something I had already done atleast once. The mock tests gave a perfect idea of what kind of paper I would be sitting for, and gave me the experience I needed for the papers.
