Ayesha Taneem

Location:

Patkai's 1000-acre site, donated by Seithekiema and Chumukedima villages, is located in a residential area across the river from Chumukedima town, ten miles east of Dimapur on the way to Kohima. It is about 20 kms. from the only railway station, and 17 kms from the only airport in Nagaland. The present campus is about two furlongs from the national highway, and spreads over 200 acres. The College now has two campuses--old and new--with two separate entrances.

Buildings:

Over 95% of the faculty and staff and over 65% of the hostellers are housed in permanent quarters.
The College has a permanent 22-room classroom complex and a permanent 14-room administration building. It has a six-block science laboratory complex.
All the arts, science and vocational facilities are on the new campus. Only the music department is on the old campus because the chapel-music building is there.

Library:

The library, housed in a two-storied building, consists of more than 16,000 volumes covering various fields of study and provides over 30 periodicals, magazines, and five newspapers. There is enough reading room for more than 100 persons at a time. The library is being computerized.

Water & Electricity:

The College provides electricity and running water throughout the campus.

Dispensary:

The College has a resident doctor and a nurse, with daily office hours, and are on call 24 hours a day for emergencies.
