How is coding culture at IET Lucknow? Is the department helpful or students do self learning to be better?

If you are looking for a coding culture that you expect from colleges like IIIT Allahabad, then sorry it is non-existent here. Most of the students who do coding on their own keep their knowledge to themselves and do not share it with anyone else like some other colleges.

You will get guidance from some very good teachers but they only have theoretical knowledge. Unfortunately, most of the professors are totally ignorant about the needs of a good coding culture. They will give you questions that you can easily copy from the internet and they do not care at all.

Speaking of the internet it is available 24X7. The labs are there just for the sake of it and are not functional. If you are really passionate about coding then it is better to start learning yourself. There are plenty of online resources which you can access thanks to the free and excellent internet.

Currently, there is no coding culture here at IET Lucknow. Maybe you could bring in some actual changes in the mindset of the students.
