library

The College has a well-equipped library which has a wide collection of books pertaining to various subjects. The Open Access system facilitates easy access of books to students and encourages reading habits. It is widely apportioned into two sections – one that provides text books and another that provides numerous reference books for each class. Each section is well-sourced with encyclopedias, dictionaries, dailies and the latest magazines, etc.

  • Daily Newspapers : In order to ensure that our students and the teaching staff stay abreast with the current happenings all around the world, we rack daily newspapers inside the college’s library.
