Campus Life

Ekoda is known as a college town and offers a congenial atmosphere in which to study. The academic year is divided into two semesters, the first beginning in April and the second in September. In addition, students can also use the summer vacation period to pursue their creative activities or conduct research. There are also many extra-curricula classes and projects organized by the College.
