Not good infrastructure and placement opportunities, but excellent teaching and teachers.
Placements: There is no placement cell. Apologies to say, our college being a government institution cannot provide placements. However, our college staff motivates us to enhance our skills. Also, this is not an engineering college but a government arts college. Thank you.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is neither exceptionally good nor bad; it is average due to being a government college. The hostel condition is poor due to lack of maintenance, leading to untidy surroundings for students. Given the economically challenged backgrounds of many students, there is a higher concentration of studious individuals in our college. Thank you.
Faculty: The teachers are remarkably supportive of our development, being highly qualified Ph.D. holders. Our college staff, being so proficient, stands out when compared to staff at private colleges. Our curriculum aligns with the syllabus provided by our university. Thank you.
Other: The choice of this course was influenced by the effective teaching methods employed here.
