Our college has knowledgeable faculty members, but it does not offer placements.

Placements: Not a single student got placement from our course. No companies came to campus for recruitment. No students get the chance to work in companies. No roles are offered in this course.

Infrastructure: Our college provides a library, Wi-Fi services, and study materials. Mess is not available at this institute. It is just an open university that provides distance education in many courses.

There are many courses, like B.Sc. in agriculture, computer courses, and technical courses, for students to get knowledge in their respective fields.
