Website
The College has a website to connect and assist its students. But, the Naogaon Astan Mollah Degree College’s website looks outdated and not modern in design. Since this is an educational institution’s website, it definitely needs aesthetic improvements in design and appearance to align with the appeal of educational institutions.
