About the Library

The library has to be a main hub for learning. College library has large numbers of title and volume of reference books, textbooks and handbooks required for teaching learning activities. Besides technical books, there are good numbers of books on management, and literature, library has occupied over 600 sq.m. Area.

Library was established in the year 1983. It has come a long way since then. The library provides pleasant and quiet atmosphere for studies. Inside campus the library is located at a place that is convenient to students of all branches. Self-development and learning starts from a student’s mind. Keeping the same in mind our libraries have been designed to provide a conductive atmosphere to our students.
