Come join this amazing college.

Infrastructure: Coming to classroom facilities, there are two lecture halls. Every classroom has 2 air conditioners. Room is allotted to two people. There is a facility that you can select your roommate. In the hostel room, you will be given a table and a chair and two charging points. Coming to the mess, the food quality is good but bad in taste. Fee for room is 5000 per semester and 20000 for mess.

Very good college, top NIT college.

Infrastructure: The hostel infrastructure is good. There are many facilities like a gym, reading room, night and day canteen, book shop, badminton court, sports, everything. But the mess food is quite disappointing for me. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus with CCTV security. There are many cafeterias, restaurants, and malls inside the campus. There are many grounds for different sports. Classrooms are spacious and digitally updated. The library is good, and it is open 24 hours.
