    It is a good college for distance education.
    Placements: The placements are average. The thing that I like the most about the faculty is that they give us the required information. They created a WhatsApp group to give us the required information, which is very helpful. They also have a YouTube channel where teachers teach with full dedication.
    Infrastructure: I chose B.Sc. Maths with three subjects which are easy to study because of the effort of faculty. The teachers are quite knowledgeable and share their knowledge with students as per the requirement. The infrastructure of our college is good and healthy.
    Faculty: The college has the best faculty. The faculty always give us their best to make our course easy for us.
