Good faculty but very bad placement procedure.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not so great. The building is old and dusty. The classrooms are small and clumsy. Labs are there, but they lack a few important chemicals. We don't have a library on our campus. There is no hostel in our college, but we have a decent canteen behind our college.

I am satisfied with this college.

Infrastructure: There are well-equipped labs, projectors in many classrooms, and a well-stocked departmental library. The library even has some of the expensive foreign books and students can take them for reference and can even get a printout of them. Hostel rooms are of high quality with an all-time Wi-Fi connection.

I am satisfied with the faculty members, but the infrastructure needs a little improvement.

Infrastructure: As a girls' college, several infrastructural necessities are missing, starting from clean washrooms to sanitary napkins and vending machines, which is expected from a girl's college. In the hostel, the mess system things have been better with regard to the quality of food and cleanliness as well.
