Good infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college looks very old since it was built in the early centuries. We have a hostel facility in our college. They provide food in our hostel. We have a canteen in our college which is very small and does not contain many food items. It is not clean.

Really a good college with all the facilities.

Infrastructure: Except for the canteen, other infrastructure is too good, and cleanliness is maintained everywhere. But there is no bus facility in our college. Except for that, everything was okay. Hostel facilities were not provided, and the library is well-maintained. Also, importance is given to sports, which are encouraged.

Good college for study, not for enjoyment. Bye.

Infrastructure: Lab with Wi-Fi, but not for personal work. Good library. No canteen. Hostel is fine, good food, lot of sleeping. Permissions are always granted to go to native. Not so strict but follows stone rules for our own good. Be a day scholar and happy traveling.

Good and decent and fun.

Infrastructure: They usually do not provide any hostel facility because it’s a college, not a university, and the infrastructure was good and decent, but the canteen would not meet your expectations. They only provide basic dishes like idly, and sambar, and the prices. They don’t even sell snacks.

It is the best college for M.Com.

Infrastructure: There was a desk, chair, a cupboard, and a bed. We had an overside cabinet. There were 2-3 electric sockets. Fans and lights were also available. Most of the rooms had an attached balcony which students could use for drying clothes. Mess quality was decent. Menu required some changes. Lately, they have reduced the number of North Indian food.
