Additional computer languages are taught in evening sessions. Spoken language training in English is given priority. Students can opt to learn additional foreign languages including Japanese, Chinese and German from the second semester.4 Administration
The administrative structure is de-centralized and clustered, giving way for efficiency and development.5 Students' empowerment
The task of evaluating faculty members is given to students. Evaluation is conducted once a semester to keep track of academic performance of faculty members. The students also evaluate the facilities on the campus.
Both these evaluations are done by secret balloting directly controlled by the chairman's office. The Chairman, as the head of the Governing Council, sees to it that all difficulties are removed for the benefit of the students. We strongly believes that the students should have the first say on their likes, dislikes and priorities.
