Campus life is amazing. The infrastructure is very good, and the campus and the canteen are the best pastime at college.

The food quality, the cleanliness of room services, everything was quite wonderful. The overall experience was great, and the price for hostel fees, the classrooms, and the stationery items, everything was quite neat and good.

The college gives you one of the best faculties, staff, and infrastructure. I believe that the students who graduate from this college will never walk without jobs. The college contains one of the best villages, Andarahalli.

#Dislike

If the majority is not interested in the project, they can take it as a subject.

I availed a caste scholarship for good scholarships which they promised to adjust in my semester fees yearly, but nothing of that sort was done. The accounts department of the college just ignored my complaint, not even addressing me properly.

I would say the hostel fees are really high in terms of the facilities provided.

So far, we have not received any bad comments and have not encountered any difficulties from the management.
