The physical facilities are genuinely impressive. The library boasts Bloomberg Terminals — one of the few campuses in India to offer this — along with a strong e-library accessible through the institute's intranet. Three dedicated computer labs serve students, researchers, and faculty, and every classroom runs on audio-visual aids with internet-connected systems. The auditorium is equipped with video walls, digital podiums, and conferencing infrastructure.
The college's infrastructure is really good with wifi, well-equipped classrooms, labs, library, and sports grounds. The college lacks good hostels for girls though and it can improve on that. It can also improve on providing immediate medical facilities for its students.
The college infrastructure is good, with a 36-acre campus in the middle of the millennium city of Gurugram. The college has all the amenities but is lacking a robust sporting infrastructure, which is due to the paucity of the space.
