The Admission process was smooth, once I got my name on the list and applied to this college, I was selected. I then went to the college to complete the admission process. An orientation was held for the new students which was very nicely planned out. The orientation helped us with getting comfortable with our college.

I am extremely happy and satisfied with my college. The college has given me great opportunities and experiences as well as memories which is definitely going to help me in the future and has made my vision more broad towards the competitive approach of the society.
No negative remarks the college is overall very good and NIRF ranking of our college is 21 in all india this very appreciable for any student. Students that are passed from our college have become very successful.
The positive thing I feel is it has good infrastructure, lab, sports, research, education and network. Their students represent them at various national and international conference, seminars, workshops. Their students have completed in internship in various countries. And many students get scholarships from govt and organisations. They conduct cultural, sports,workshops, and lectures etc. They are very helpful for us. Fee could be a negative because it is little high.
Great management team, always great to be part of such great college, always remembered these memories throughout my life, not even single bad incidence
