Faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring a good faculty-to-student ratio and polite communication. The college conducts two internal exams yearly, with moderate difficulty, encouraging consistent study for good results.

The placement cell, led by a professor, guides students about job opportunities, providing free training for third-year students of select courses.
Companies like Deloitte, Wipro, Infosys, and Amazon conduct placement drives, although placements through the college are infrequent due to the lack of a professional degree.
