While loading the management of the institute and asked them to prepare a sketch map first and clear the boundary so that the education department and state government also take up several issues which include upgrading to engineering college and other infrastructure issues to a new height. This institute is catering to the needs of so many students of the state as it has been established at the state capital instead of many in other places that do not function properly except few like Namsai.
