Good infrastructure with an average faculty. The atmosphere is good.

Infrastructure: The campus is good. The college’s hostel doesn’t have proper food facility. The transportation here is another issue. The college is located far from the city with the airport being 1.5 hours away from the college. Also, traveling is expensive here. The classrooms are good though.

I am absolutely satisfied with the faculty members and facilities of this college.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in almost every corner of the college. The range might differ though and the labs are extraordinary. The hostel is good if you can manage to stay inside more than roaming around outside.You can even look for hostels outside the campus but the on-campus hostel is great too.

Satisfied with the infrastructure, faculty and the course.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is really good and user-friendly, keeping in mind the vast demands of a design student's work and presentation. We have two accessible stations on our campus and also pinboards in place of walls, which makes the process easier when we have exhibitions or jury meetings in our college.
