Our college infrastructure is very very good as college have all the advance facilities from advance classroom to studios to advance and well-furnished library. College area is clean and well maintained by the staff. college do provide hostels for student, but food of the college hostel is not good. As I take admission, they provide me design kit and campus has best good training facility for students like advance board, advance software laptops for designing. College campus does have sports area for students.
Love the fact that the spaces in our studios are very mobile, can be changed as per course requirements. Very open, students gets ample working area for individual projects as well and personalisation of your space is permitted which makes it more student friendly. It's a cohesive environment and the labs too are well equipped with trained professionals to guide the students. Hostel rooms are also well maintained as per government standards and the mess food is also pretty decent.
