This comes in the wake of the College receiving the recognition of 'College of Excellence' from the UGC. The attempt of the College in quality enhancement is clear in the steady improvement in the accreditation and assessment grades that the college has received three times earlier: Five Star Status in 1999, reaccredited with 'A' grade in 2005 and 'A' grade with CGPA 3.53 in 2012.
