    Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities available for our department are nice. The classrooms and labs are clean and comfortable. A well-stocked library is also present. The hostel rooms are good. The food available in the mess is not so tasty, but the quality of food is acceptable.
    Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable enough and well-qualified. They provide both online and offline resources for studies. Also, all the college staff and faculty members are very cooperative and helpful. Our course curriculum is not relevant because not much happens apart from lectures.
