Good infrastructure and supportive staff.

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.

There is no infrastructure in this college.

Infrastructure: The college lacks even the most basic facilities expected in a standard academic institution. There is no Wi-Fi connectivity available for students, severely limiting access to digital resources and learning materials. The entire college consists of only 18 rooms, which is sufficient for conducting regular academic activities and accommodating students effectively.
