Significant Library Practices
Book Bank Scheme
One set of textbooks is provided to needy and deserving students,(who cannot afford to buy books) on loan. After completing the academic year and semester end exams, students are expected to return the books in the library.
This additional library card is given to students who secure 1st 2nd and 3rd ranks in the previous year's exam.
Ex-student Membership
This membership is provided to the students after they complete their graduation. Students are charged Rs. 100/- per year and they are benefited with reading room facility.
Best User of the Library
Every month library announces “Best User”. Selection criterion for the same is as follows:
1. No. of books issued
2. No. of Reference Books referred
3. No. of library visits for general reading.
Orientation to 1st year students is done at the beginning of every academic year
