More practical classes and more VR ( virtual reality) labs could do more in learning and teaching rather than theoretical classes. They celebrate every cultural festival and conduct college events to promote curricular activities, participate in inter-college festivals (e.g., Navagati, Nautica ), and the campus surroundings are pretty environmentally friendly.
