It has computerized all its house-keeping activities using a global software that is being maintained and updated regularly. It also facilitates industries, individual consultants and corporates to access online database and journals. Not only having a very good reference section, Library has been subscribed to access INDEST by MHRD. The library serves as a venue for "Suche", the informal Quizzing club of the college. Normally the event takes place late in the evening and is attended by a dozen or more quizzers. The college also houses a Central Computer Centre with the high configuration desktops and high speed internet connectivity. This computer centre comprises mainly two subcentres : Internet and Programming lab 1 (on the ground-floor) and a Programming lab 2 (on the first floor). There's yet another Internet Lab coming up after the recent renovation works. Students with individual login IDs are able to use the machines for e-mail, internet browsing and general-purpose programming. These labs include a wide variety of different purpose servers like Web-server, Mail-server, DNS, ordinary servers etc. It also houses most of the dialects of the operating systems, authorized copies of almost all the common shrink-wrapped software and various Engineering applications software. The centre has purchased a unified threat and bandwidth management tool called Cyberoam 500i and Cyberoam 1500i. There is an integrated playground which has a 400-metre athletic track, a cricket ground and two basketball courts (with flood lights). Construction of a swimming pool is expected to commence shortly. The canteen offers a wide variety of vegetarian delicacies and is a hub for student interaction and activity. It has a fix-up stage at its rear where performances are held at the time of cultural or other events. The canteen finds a lot of outsiders too citing the cheap rates.
