- The classroom needs improvement like sometimes our mic didn't work and it is very hard to listen to teachers while seating in back benches.
- The hostel for other than ug candidates is not well designed so it needs improvement in infrastructure.
- The mess food is not upto the marks. Sometimes we get hairs in our food. And they put a huge amount of oil in vegetable so it is very unhygienic to consume.
