• General life – They organize the techno-cultural fest GENERO every year. They also recently organized their first TEDx event, TEDxABESCE. The students of the college have also formed an NGO Help Us to Help the Child (HUHC) with more than 180 volunteers.
• College Amenities and support – The infrastructure is really very good, especially the library. The college gives freedom to its students to attend programs run by other departments as well which helps you to become multi-talented. Even though many students outside of the college think that the extra rules imposed on the students make them feel like school students, but in reality that is part of the student development.

Do not doubt about your choice you have already made. There is no point in that. In contrast, try to make use of all the facilities being given to you and you would never regret your choice.
