In infrastructure wise college facilities were average...there was no hostel so it was difficult to maintain the regulatory in the college. Library was good but every time was not accessible. Classroom was good. There was no sports centre available, laboratories facilities were not so good and all the practical equipments were also not present. College canteen was average from all the sides like hygeine, food quality etc. In general I will review the college infrastructure is average.
