To introduce students to the world of computers and information technology, the Cyber Society of the College was inaugurated in September 2000. The desired outcome of the Society is that students should be able to access global information in all its myriad forms to supplement class- room learning, which at times becomes only subject based, due to various constraints.
With 30 dedicated computers, Cyber Society provides the much needed computer facility and free Internet services to the student community.
Students are able to utilize the facility and conduct their research, complete class assignments and participate in various competitions.
