Infrastructure: The labs are good. There are ample opportunities for research, and the college provides funds for it. Sports are a charm of the college, with students playing every day on the field. Sports out here are quite competitive. I'm a hosteler. There are 3-sharing rooms. The rooms are spacious, and each room has a fan and geyser. The food in the mess is okay compared to other hostel foods. We have a gym indoor sports arena. We can even cook in the room and eat, and there are no restrictions.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good and dedicated to their job. They are a family to us. They are very helpful. We have a guardian teacher system with every 5 to 6 students under one guardian teacher who looks after both academic and personal development of students.
