Overall disciplined college with good infrastructure and other facilities but bad placement.
Placements: This college does not have a placement cell. However, if we are proactive and keep an eye on upcoming placements, we are able to get a placement through the university. Students are expected to study on their own with guidance from the faculty in order to pursue their goal of a better future.
Infrastructure: The campus consists of a main academic building, a library, and a guest house with separate accommodations for guests and parents. The campus also has separate hostels for girls and boys. Each hostel room has a bed, chair, table, and cupboard. The hostels are equipped with fans, light bulbs, and a smart classroom. The campus has a playground, gym, auditorium, multipurpose hall, storehouse, field, greenhouse, polyhouse, principal's residence, and staff residence. The campus also has Wi-Fi, a bus for educational trips, and a farm for hands-on learning. But the college is in a village-type area, so there is no Swiggy, Zomato, or Dominos facility yet. However, other online delivery is available, like Myntra, Flipkart, and nearby restaurants. There is no dispensary on campus yet, but there is an ambulance facility for medical emergencies. Overall, the college is good, studies are taken seriously, and the environment is strict and disciplined.
Faculty: The teachers are well educated and talented, and they are also friendly. The courses get completed on time, and the mid-semester exams are quite easy because the papers are set internally with respect to the final/end-semester paper. There is an attendance criterion of 75%, which is necessary to receive a stipend and to attend exams.
Other: Various events and festivals are celebrated here with joy. Intercollege sports and cultural events are also held by the university.
