It provides a swimming pool, tennis court, badminton court, volleyball court, basketball court, volleyball court, and cricket stadium.
    Faculty: Exams of this college are of average level, students can pass it in 1 or 2 days before the exam. Faculty members are not good, and students have attendance criteria of 75%, mandatory attendance of centers of these colleges around 35%. Students have a grading system in which a grade is the next that is 10 CGPA, and a minus is 9 b is 8 b - is 7 and c is 6 c minus is 5 and after that, students will fail.

    Placements: The college has good placement opportunities. It is a good college to study and have fun. Our college has got an excellent atmosphere, especially for undergraduates and placements.

    Infrastructure: The institute has 13 hostels with all the basic facilities like a gym room, TV room, air-conditioned reading room, etc. The library is centrally air-conditioned, and it remains open for 24 hours. Books are easily available in the library so that we don't need to buy them.
