Recently the college has remained in news due controversies surrounding the administration and faculty selection process. In 2005 in the appointment of 60 teachers, massive irregularities were found by the committees formed to investigate the matter. It was found that arbitrary favour was given to many teaching candidates who were much less qualified than the candidates who were rejected. The overall impact has been a reduction of trust on the teaching standards of the institute.
