College Infrastructure

The university campus is pretty big. Both the central and the departmental libraries are well stocked. A lot of auditoriums are available inside the campus for various conferences, events and such matters.

My experience

Yes we have everything but the toilets are not that much good. Very unhygenic, unhealthy of few buildings. We have free wifi throughout the whole campus. There are lot of food corner and they are very much hygienic.
