Hostel facilities are available, with mess charges at Rs. 6,000 for six months. Placement opportunities are modest, with the highest package reaching 43 LPA and an average of 5 LPA. Approximately 70% of students are placed, mainly through off-campus opportunities, and key recruiters include Cisco, Capgemini, and Accenture. The lack of a dedicated placement cell affects placements, with start-ups offering lower salary packages. Internships are offered to 2nd and 3rd-year students through partnerships with MSME Bihar Govt, AICTE, and NASSCOM, with companies like Microsoft offering a 1.5 lakh stipend.

The college's low-cost education has a total fee structure of about 40,000 INR for four years, with various fees and scholarships available for SC/ST/OBC and minority communities. The Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme also supports college and hostel expenses. Although placements have seen improvements, many students opt for higher studies or government jobs.
