Various examinations need to be conducted in our college in addition to the conduct of exams for regular students. A common examination hall is set on the 4th (topmost) floor with ten different blocks, each one capable of accommodating 45 students and the students have only one passage for entry and exit. They have to climb upstairs through all floors which may cause an inconvenience to others. To facilitate smooth up and down movement, an additional new staircase was constructed, the newly constructed staircase from outside straight to the top floor would be convenient for both inmates outside students. The mass movement of private students through all floors is avoided and the students can straightaway reach the examination hall from outside. Also, it is useful from a security point of view and smooth conducting of examinations during regular classes.
