Admission:

The college is situated out of the city, where the transportation is costly. If you want to go in the city it takes around 15 kilometres. The food served outside college is cheap but quality food is not available. In the aspect of studies, the college is ahead and in the aspect of cultural activities, college is nice. But the fee is a bit high, which in the current year they have reduced.
