This college has good infrastructure and all necessary things. Among other new nits, this nit has a permanent campus and developing at a very faster rate. But one disadvantage is there is no single tree in whole campus.
Since it is a new nit, things are still being built here but at a faster rate..And basic things like classroom,library,laboratory,food, wifi are present..And A.C.'s are there for first year's new boys hostel..
As a new NIT that got started on 2009 and just moved to permanent campus 3 years ago the college infrastructure development is next level. Labs, classrooms and hostels are there - most new NITs don't have permanent campus. Sports facilities are improving starting from volleyball, basketball and badminton.
