College Infrastructure

The campus is fairly impressive. It is clean, green, and provides a relaxing ambiance that is ideal for learning. The classrooms are well-maintained and equipped with the required resources. The library is a true gem: it's huge, well-stocked, and the ideal spot to get lost in a good book.There are separate hostels for boys and girls, and I've heard that they provide a comfortable and secure living environment. The canteen serves decent meals with a variety of selections.
