    The infrastructure of the college is good.. Buildings are still coming up.. The only drawback that I noticed is thath there is a lack of a proper auditorium.. Otherwise it is good.. Also seminar Hall was too good..

    Overall it was a good college and have a nice experience..

    College Infrastructure

    The infrastructure of the college is good.. Buildings are still coming up.. It is a 150 years old college so some of the buildings are heritage building and that was too old and have some kind of aesthetics..

    I recommend the college for law aspirants.
