Academics

For my course first two semesters the teaching faculty was average and the classes were also not held daily. But fir the final year both the teaching faculty and daily schedule are so good and organized professionally .

College Infra

The overall infrastructure of the college is good , the hostel is available for the non local students , the facilities in the hostels are also good . Good drinking water , air conditioner for the students .

Placements

The placements were also okay . But the internships were not offered to all the students . The placements process also bit tricky in my opinion , the college is not much responsible in the placements matter .
