There is one big library, and there we can take many of the books which we want, which will help us gain knowledge. The hostel is good and well cleaned, the quality of food is good but depends upon the day; there are emergency or medical facilities to the students who are injured, and they will conduct sports like volleyball, cricket, chess, kabaddi, carrom, etc. And they also conduct online games like free fire and stc.

Faculty: The teachers who teach us are great; we have to thank them all. They helped us a lot, they were basically well graduated and there way of thinking in different ways to answer the questions of students is good. Yes, this course is curriculum relevant and it makes students industry-ready, where they will provide some skills and learn some programs and some other courses.
