The campus is fairly impressive. It is clean, green, and provides a relaxing ambiance that is ideal for learning. The classrooms are well-maintained and equipped with the required resources. The library is a true gem: it's huge, well-stocked, and the ideal spot to get lost in a good book.There are separate hostels for boys and girls, and I've heard that they provide a comfortable and secure living environment. The canteen serves decent meals with a variety of selections.
My college is with very good infrastructure and with all facilities. Everything is very well Maintained. Classrooms are with smart boards but no wifi facilities. Hostels are not that good. Poor water facilities.
Infrastructure was so blissful. Well Maintained infrastructure. Everywhere was surrounded with Greenery environment. Classrooms are with smart boards but no wifi facilities. Library is well equipped but occasional maintenance is required. Water facilities needed to be improved.
