Five people have been pulled out of the debris but reports suggest 10 people are still trapped.
A portion of the building toppled on a students' hostel just next to it, leading to the disaster.
Substandard work is said to be the reason for the building collapse.
The district administration has called in the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF); a team from Pune is expected to arrive via special aircraft.
