No placements, less study, and best for exam preparation.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay, as the second campus is still under development. Hostel food isn't good at all. You can check the news online. In recent 1 year, 2 complaints about the mess’s food were highlighted in the news. Boys don't expect a hostel, but girls will surely get a hostel. Also, food complaints come from the girls' hostel only.
