The plans for infrastructural development and up-gradation are given top priority as the College realizes the correlation between adequate infrastructure and effective teaching – learning. The strategies adopted for ensuring adequate infrastructure are as follows:

 

  • At the beginning of the academic year, the college administration works for the up-gradation of existing infrastructure after assessment based on the suggestions from Heads of the departments, IT initiative and Website Committee report and lab technicians after reviewing course requirements, computer – student ratio, budget constraints , and also students grievances.

The college provides its students well-furnished computer labs, with 222 computers exclusively for students.
