    College Infrastructure

    This college is one of the oldest college in Kolkata. So the infrastructure is not that good. But all the necessary facilities and equipments are available. At the ground floor, there is a huge laboratory. There are Classrooms in a separate building. The Hostel is very near to the Main Campus. Library is also quite big and all the necessary books are available. Living rooms are clean and hygienic.

    I love my college ( department of jute and fibre technology)

    College Infrastructure

    Some laboratories of this college needs some necessary things to improve its own infrastructure, otherwise overall infrastructure is good . And auditorium hall should be improved, and some ac are required
