The college offers both merit and management quota admissions, with sessions starting in August. The faculty, especially in Computer Science, is well-qualified, with many holding PG or PhD degrees from IITs. The student-to-teacher ratio is approximately 25:1, with mixed reviews on faculty interaction and practical knowledge. The examination pattern includes a mid-term, end-term, and teacher assessment.
