Colleg life is the best life

There's no fee hike after you join the college. The fees remain the same throughout the course duration. You need to stay at the hostels of the college, but they're very good and have all the amenities available. You can find some on-campus jobs with a stipend. They also provide you with an experience certificate for the jobs that you do.
