Facilities

College Campus at Balebailu locality has good infrastructure with all basic facilities required for a sound institutional functioning from the Rs. 250 lakhs grants released by Government of Karnataka for the construction. Though the building is complete we are unable to run the classes due to huge students’ strength. So, the Government has released additional Rs. 300 lakhs for construction of more class rooms, laboratories, ladies rest-room and toilets which will be used during the next academic year in its 4 acres plot in Balebailu with a huge play-ground.
