College Infrastructure

Labs: There are dedicated labs for each subject, whichever requires experiments. There is 24/7 Wi-Fi available throughout the campus. A central library is in operation that opens at 9 a.m. in the morning and closes at 10 p.m. It contains all sorts of books from magazines, newspapers, etc. In addition to course books, there is an application called M-Library that has over 3,00,000 e-books for the assistance of students. Classrooms are spacious, but the condition is not so good. Hostel facilities: There are 5 boys and 1 girls hostel.
