The College has got its distinctive feature because it is expected to work as Nodal Agency for the private colleges assignad by the commissionerate Jaipur in the district to monitor Private Higher Educational Institutes. The role of the College has gone beyond the premises to handle issues of importance in other private institutions at Jalore.
