Review

As a student, I’ve had a great experience at this college. They offer loans to support students financially, along with scholarships specifically for ST students and those from Jammu, which is really commendable. The extracurricular activities are decent and depend on the skills and interests of the students. There are opportunities for these activities, but I feel they could expand the facilities, especially since the student population has grown. The labs are very useful for practical learning, though they could benefit from being upgraded to accommodate more students. One of the highlights is the annual sports meet, which encourages students who are passionate about sports. The college provides well-equipped practical labs for every subject, and the classrooms are in excellent condition. Overall, I genuinely believe this college is one of the best, thanks to its quality education, supportive environment, and the availability of comprehensive study materials.
