Overall The infrastructure could become even better. They have started to build new buildings and multicomplex halls. It offers 10 branches here depending on the students choices or criterion.(The counselling is done via JCECE). The college is built at a very isolated place. The area around it is quite rural. The Dhanbad city is at a distance of 30 km from here. So it is the only nearer place where you could go to chill out with your friends or else there's nothing at all here. The college has clubs and societies, which you could join to increase your soft skills.
