However, the student must identify himself/herself in that complaint letter by way of mentioning his/her class, and roll number.

Student’s Support System

The college firmly believes that a worthy institution is expected not only to impart education to the students but also to provide them with valuable support for their progression from the college to further education or to the world of job market. The institute also believes that during their studentship in the college adequate scope should be provided for health-aids, entertainment, refreshment, complaint redressal etc. As mentioned earlier, our means are limited and therefore although we believe in providing students support, extending the same does not seem to be possible always.
