The campus is dull when there is no fest. Everything is in the hands of faculty on campus.

Infrastructure: Food and hostel are good, but the buildings are old as it is an old establishment in our college. Campus is good, but I find it outdated. Facilities seem very old compared to the fancy private institutions.
