Final conclusion

So,in the end we finally concluded that and that there is a worst picture of the college in

the minds of major of the students studyirrng over here. Teachers are not getting support

to teach effectively,there is discrimination over courses in the college. It ain't good to

intake more students than college capacity. Even college management staff,unionmembers ain't doing their job properly. NSS and placement cell are doing great job. The

above report states that the college has more to go with it's progress and has to balance

each and every activities to compete with other higher institutions.
