expecially i am amazed with college infrastructure it consist a historical values which is situated in mysure also college infrastructure is green and hygine and also it consist a largest library in karnataka
Karnataka State Open University, being an open university, primarily operates through distance learning modes. The university has a well-established digital infrastructure to support this. It provides a range of online resources.
The classrooms are very good. Even library contains thousands of books which is very useful for the students and also sports coach is too friendly. There is a huge place for playing games peacefully because it has a very big ground, but there is no hostel and all, at last, I want to say that the college infrastructure is very good.
