Over 11 to 12 years, the campus has been maintained and expanded to now house engineering colleges, an MBA college, a higher secondary school and several external sports areas, hosting more than 4000 students across the buildings. It is now one of the most in-demand colleges in U.P., with the highest student numbers, and continues to grow.
