If you want to simply graduate, then you can take admission.

Infrastructure: The building was good, but it was the same building that had been there when it was opened like 60–70 years ago. There were computer labs, smart classes, and a seminar hall. They were good, but the main problem was the fans in the class. Literally, a big room had only 4 to 5 fans, and they were also in one line, so only one row would get air.

The hostel is well-maintained and quite impressive. The college gives very little importance to extracurricular activities as there is no such dedicated space.

Absolutely satisfied with faculty, good behavior of teachers, and enough competition.

Infrastructure: The department provides Wi-Fi, labs, vintage classrooms, and cozy classrooms with fully ventilated and airy rooms. The view of the student centre is also very clear from the classrooms. It makes the classroom experience more realistic and helps us explore mathematics more intellectually. There is also a library facility for mathematics department students, which helps many students during exam time.
