The infrastructure here is okay but definitely has its limits. The classrooms are decent, fully air-conditioned, and have functional smartboards. The libraries are actually good and well-maintained with a peaceful environment for studying. However, the campus size is highly disappointing. It feels very small and cramped since it basically consists of just a couple of interconnected blocks. There is absolutely no proper sports ground or cricket field inside the campus, so if you are someone into sports, you will be disappointed. The canteen is fine, but it gets overcrowded easily during peak hours.
The college infrastructure is descent good and very positive vibes. Canteen is good . Canteen food is good . Little space problem for sports. Smatscreen available, bench are good there .classes always clean.
Infrastructure wise, it lags like it's just two buildings connected by a common center stage with no ground facility. There are 2 library which is a good thing as students get diversified there and overall infrastructure wise it is average.
