There is a Grievance letter box in front of the stairs leading to the 1st floor of the main building. Students can express their grievance, in writing, and drop it in the grievance box. A dedicated team under the guidance of the principal of the college looks into the matters relating to individual issues of the students and tries to resolve them with utmost care.
