*Dedicated computing facility
While College does not have either supercomputer or clusters, there are computers
that are dedicated to computational work in the Departments of Mathematics and
Physics. One Physics teacher, as part of his DST-sponsored project, is setting up a
high-end computational facility for studying theoretical physics.

*LAN facility
 Campus connectivity is achieved through fiber-optic cable, STP cables and UTP
Cable enabled network. Internet Security is provided through firewall Cyberoam 750
ING.
