It's an autonomous organisation.

Infrastructure: This was a kind of conservative and also autonomous college. Libraries were like a mini knowledge hub with maximum collections of books and also available with soft copies which should be accessible by all the students studying in the college. The special access card for visiting libraries and laboratories was provided to all the students.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is best. There is so much garden greenery. One drawback in my college is that there is no Wi-Fi in the college, and also not in the hostel. If I am talking about food, then it is also average, not so good, not so bad. Can be eaten and survive.
