The College Library and Reading Rooms are one of our most significant assets. The Libraray has an online cataloguing system that provides access to library resources. All our books are coded through dedicated software and are easily accessible through computers in the library and the departments. Free and ready access to the Internet for students and the faculty has made it possible for our college to reach higher and global levels of education and research. The Reading Room has study spaces with a mix of quite individual and group-study areas. The Library provides a book-bank facility too for lending text books to needy & deserving students for a period of one year at a stretch.
