College facilities Are good but need little bit more improvement in the areas like classroom seminar hall and hostel facilities the living spaces are well maintained clean and spacious but the quality of food in hostel is not good.
This college has exceeded all my expectations when it comes to infrastructure. The campus is modern and sleek, with a focus on sustainability and eco-friendliness. The classrooms are equipped with the latest technology, including interactive whiteboards and virtual reality headsets. The library is a treasure trove of knowledge, with a vast collection of books, journals, and online resources. The sports facilities are world-class, with a state-of-the-art gym and a range of outdoor sports facilities.
Here all things are well maintained. All infrastructure and equipments are available and also well maintained. Classrooms are okay. Wifi available here. Here hostel also available but hostel are not so good. Foods also okay.
