College Infrastructure

Most of the people didn't came to know about this college due to less advertisment. Th college was good and well before covid period years. There will be events and functions conducted only when the particular department head wants to celebrate or wanted to be conducted. The first year of the college is strict and the staffs who taken for the first year were all experienced and worked in the same college for more than 7 years. The 2nd to final year staffs who handle some are new and some will be experienced. Good college to study and enjoy your college life. But don't expect more as a fresher. The infrastructure is average and there is no ground in that college. Only indoor games competition can only be conducted and that is also rare. The request of the students are valued by the department and staffs if they give a valid reason. In that way it is good to be a student in this college. The computer lab is well maintained and the wifi connectivity is normal. There is no smart boards in the classroom but if the staff needs then they will teach some topics in projector. There is a hostel and it is located around 5 km away from the college to go outside of the campus to reach hostel. Library is also well maintained and air conditioned as same as computer lab. There is no sports centres. The hostel food is not so good and I would say it will be below average for the amount of foods. The college campus will be clean and only the surroundings of admin block will be weel maintained and decorated with plants. There will be 5 builds in the college and each building has 3 floors of 4 class rooms each and a balcony.

Best place to enjoy your college life
