Other: The infrastructure of the college is above average with provision of all the basic places like cafeteria, canteen, hostel, basketball court, football ground, volley ball court etc. It has an excellent parking area as most of the students come by their own vehicles. The faculty of the college consist of very young professionals who act as both mentors and friends. The study quality is average as you will expect from a government college. The annual cultural fest of the college is Apratim, which is one most famous fest in tricity after PEC fest.
