    College Infrastructure

    Hostel facilities are good regarding Wi-Fi and water, and every room has an AC installed. Mess food is good. As only phase I is completed, the whole campus is still not built, but it does have almost everything needed in college for now and plenty of space to roam around but there is no other facilities like medical shops,marts etc.,
