Infrastructure: Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms, a library with cosmetology resources, and contemporary skincare and haircare equipment are all features of the labs. The hostel is fine, but there isn't much variety in the food. There are sports and medical facilities, but the upkeep of the hostel needs to be improved.

About M.Voc. E-commerce course admission in year 2025.

Infrastructure: The internet and computers in the labs are modern, but sometimes the systems are slow. Despite having e-commerce journals, the library's sophisticated digital resources are scarce. Hostel rooms are decent but not very spacious. The mess food is mediocre, but the canteen has a wider selection. The majority of the games are played indoors, and there are not many sports facilities.

Happy with faculty, placements, and food. Still, fests and infrastructure can be improved.

Infrastructure: Since it is a government college, the buildings are old, but it has some really good cafes and a library that is open 24/7. AC is not available in the classrooms, but the labs do have it. The hostel is somewhat average, especially the boys' one. It only provides a bed, a locker, and a fan.
