Overall, the college was good, but not well-satisfied.

Faculty: The teachers' teaching method was also okay, not bad. Some teachers were excellent in teaching and communication, but some of the teachers' teaching knowledge was a little okay. The college exams were neither difficult nor easy. Thet followed the semester pattern and syllabus, so it was easy to pass and get a good percentage.

It is accessed with various resources, but it is not very satisfying.

Faculty: A team of teachers is assigned for every new start batch. They are responsible for conducting discussions on various lectures and developing elaborate knowledge on them. Teachers are very liberal with students' examinations, and it would create the lowest percentage of scores in semester exams.

Overall, the college is good but average.

Faculty: Some faculty are good, while some are very strict and rigid. Semester exams are passed with a bit of luck. The teaching method is boring and not special. Especially since they do not provide smart classes or good water facilities, and they do not give important questions.
