Old buildings and labs need renovation and better instruments. Upgrading these buildings better equipments will help students in getting more interested for their practical lab sessions. The newly constructed blocks are much more well maintained with neccesary amenities.

College Infrastructure
Lots of greenery, and infrastructure is clean. But there are lacks in the infrastructure as there are not enough rooms/labs in order to accommodate all the students, which causes the students to wait longer for labs to be available, which is a reason for a waste of the student's time.
