Our college infrastructure was more than adequate, and we had all the facilities we needed on campus, including computer labs, a workshop, and a library. The hostel was very nice, with good maintenance, and each room had only two occupants. We enjoyed our B.Tech days very much.

Excellent campus view

College Infrastructure

The college has a good environment, and public transportation is nearby. However, the grounds are too small, with only limited playing equipment, and sufficient only for parking and roaming. The lab facilities are good, and the computers work properly. Only three events happen each year.
