Starting from 1200 books for 60 students in each stream. Then adding up 300 books per stream each year. For example, a college has BTech CSE, IT, ME, CE, EE, ECE, MBA & MCA. Assuming that each stream has 60 seats, the college in its opening year should have 9600 volumes of books (3200 titles). Then adding up 2400 volumes (800 titles) each year.
