    Affordable degree with good campus vibes.

    Verified Review

    College Infrastructure

    I remember the infrastructure during my time was acceptable but nothing extraordinary by any standards. The college building was old fashioned yet functional enough for daily academic activities. I found the classrooms to be basic with simple furniture and fans. The library had a reasonable collection of commerce books which helped me during exams. I heard the infrastructure has improved significantly after my graduation which is good news. Overall, it served its purpose back then though modern upgrades were clearly needed.
