This prestigious award coincides with the re-
accreditation of our college by NAAC with the
“highest A++ Grade. The top leadership has been able
to provide excellent administration, build an enabling
learning ecosystem that blends academic innovation,
social responsibility, and digital readiness, because of
faculty-student support. As a result the college is well-
poised to deliver Education 5.0 for the digital age. The
conferment of ‘Empowered Autonomous Status’ by
University of Mumbai for a period of ten years in 2023
has further motivated us to emerge as a role model college
of the state and country” — Dr. Naresh Chandra

We are delighted to be ranked India #1 for Campus
Planning and Design Excellence. This prestigious
“award is testimony that our efforts towards provid-
ing a world-class learning environment that promotes
academic excellence, creativity, collaboration, community
engagement and holistic learning experiences are moving
in the right direction. Our campus has been carefully
planned to provide IT-enabled classrooms, auditorium,
incubation centre, advanced research, language, and
media labs. Moreover, environment sustainability is top
priority and we have invested in solar panels, rainwater
harvesting systems, and planted a Miyawaki forest. Our
