I am dissatisfied with the facilities in 2023; the only positive aspect is the quality of teachers.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is available for staff, teachers, and students in this college. However, the most concerning aspect is the classroom conditions. We do not have good chairs to sit on, and the classrooms are always full of dust with no one cleaning them. The library is spacious with numerous books, but upon our first visit, we noticed that the library's roof was broken. Furthermore, the washrooms are extremely unhygienic.
