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,union
members 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.
