Educative
It was great and educative, more practical improvement
Good learning experience overall.
My experience at GIFT University as a Computer Science student was overall satisfying. The faculty was supportive and helped build strong basic concepts in programming and software development. I really liked the friendly environment and opportunities to work on projects like our final year project, which improved practical skills. However, there is still room for improvement. The university can upgrade lab facilities and introduce more modern technologies aligned with industry trends. More internships and industry exposure would also help students prepare better for real-world challenges. Overall, it was a good learning journey that helped me grow academically and professionally.
