Easy and well managed course structure. Best for UG and PG students. It takes test after every two weeks helps in learning and revising the course read. There are two subjective tests and five objective multiple choice tests make it easy for all level of students.
The final exam will be computer-based test which is almost similar question given in assignments and asked during the course work.
