Infrastructure Infrastructure of this college is decent according to me. Classrooms are good but it can be better. Project facilities in classroom should be improved and classrooms should be equipped with more advanced technologies and facilities.

Hostel Hostel infrastructure is decent and satisfactory in some hostels but some hostels has below average infrastructure. Walls have cracks. Water leakage problem in washroom, urinals have leakage, lift doesn't works in my hostel. Along with this the food quality in mess is pathetic. You can't eat the food if you have never lived in any hostel before. Water coolers are not fitted with purification mechanism. Hence Water quality is also very bad.
