Yes, we have good infrastructure and facilities like library, two auditoriums, separate gyms for girls and boys, and an useless canteen. No wifi in college for students but in hostels we have. The food is very inferior quality, one or the other person suffer everyday due to food poisoning. The living space is also moderate to good.
