The institute is currently operating from temporary campus located in Shillong. But with such a small campus also; institute is doing very well. Research is very good and all the teachers are sincere and hardworking. They are giving their best to the students. Placements are also very good.

Nice college but lack of its own campus, also all facilities is not provided in this college. I got this college in 5th round of jossa year 2018 in CSE branch. But I did not freeze this college, as this college is not bad. But according to me this college is something lack that is, it's own campus, clubs, it's own auditorium and much more. But Acedamics is nice, also placement of this college is nice. My many friends have been studying here, so I know much well about this college. The location of this college is awesome, place is awesome.
