Hostels
Since the college is situated 7 Kms away from the town, the necessity of residential accommodation was felt in the beginning itself and construction of “Hostel Srinivasa” was taken up simultaneously with the construction of the college. The hostel with an accommodation of 250 was commissioned during February, 1982, with the addition of new branches and with an increase in the intake, another hostel “Kandula” identical to the former one was started and commissioned during 1993. It also accommodates 250 students.

As more and more number of girls are opting to pursue engineering education, the management felt the need for a women’s hostel to provide a safe and secure residential accommodation. ‘Kandual Hostel for Women’ has thus come into being during 1999-2000. This well furnished residency accommodates 200 students. All the facilities required for comfortable stay and to prosecute academic pursuits are provided in the hostels.

Transport
As the college is away from the hubbub of the town and the hostels on the campus can accommodate only 1/4 of the total strength, the necessity of providing transport is keenly felt by the Management who provided a fleet of 6 buses besides a van for the conveyance of staff and students. A special bus is being run for women.

Sports
Physical education is as important as any other education. Sparing an hour a day at play field lessens the fatigue of the mind and keeps it afresh. Knowing the importance of this education and well aware of the proverb "A sound mind in a sound body" the management is generously allocating funds for the department of physical education. The college has the unique distinction of its own by having 10 acres of land for play fields which encompass two badminton courts, two volley ball Courts, one tennikoit court, one basket ball court, one throw ball court, one tennis court and two cricket grounds with well laid pitch. A 400mt. Track is laid on the campus. Facilities for running races, throws, jumps etc., are provided.
