In every department, there are some teacher(s) who are student friendly and some who are not. But if you can pass the early storm up to the 4th semester, you can enjoy the college life.
College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : Smart boards and projectors are recently installed in all classes, but almost all professors restrain themselves from using it for reasons unknown to me. The library is a little out of sorts; sometimes important books are not available. There is an adequate number of hostels and construction of new girls' hostel is recently finished and that of boys' hostel going on scheduled to be finished within one year. Apart from hostel foods, there are some canteens and restaurants within college premises who provide reasonably good food at affordable price.
