Remarks
The college has 0 tolerance towards ragging and bullying. In fact, it makes students sign an anti ragging affidavit. One thing negative about the college is that in some semesters, the time table is hastily designed and can lead to a hectic semester.
Course Curriculum Overview

During the semester an internal assessment of 10 marks is conducted. The 10 marks internal assessment, tests and exam add up to 100.
