Likes

Infrastructure - college has got around 8 well equipped kitchens.
Faculty- excellent faculty which teaches patience and discipline

Dislikes

Student Clubs - there are no recreational clubs like music, dance, sports.
Mental health counselling - mental health is affected alot in beginning years. So i wish there were a mental health coordinator

The admission process was tough as many students around India apply for it and only a few get through. A minimum of 60% marks in intermediate and matriculation is required along with good communication and interpersonal skills to get into this college. Reservation can be availed as per the osmania university rules and regulations as the college is affiliated with osmania university( education regulatory board of Telangana)
