Good for preparation for side exams or one-day exams. Attendance is not mandatory.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very poor. The classrooms are in poor condition, with broken benches and dirty, smelly washrooms. Our classes are not conducted on the main campus. They are held in a rented external building, which is also in very poor condition. I do not recommend it.

Wonderful college, especially the campus.

Infrastructure: In our department, wonderful classrooms that are fully air-conditioned, including smart boards. Wi-Fi is also available with good speed. Our hostels are good as we get single rooms, which are rarely available elsewhere. The mess provides food three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food tastes average but is acceptable.

Honest and only facts, no bias.

Infrastructure: The campus is good, but as you know, it is a government college, and like a government school, this college is also damaged. We were sitting in class and praying that the ceiling wouldn't fall. The girls' washrooms are like they last cleaned them in 2000 BC. They were very bad. On their profile, they promise everything is there, but in reality, nothing is.
