It is a great college and campus, so students should try it.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good and infrastructure too. As it comes under one of the oldest colleges, it is a affiliated college of Allahabad University. Iswar Saran Degree College does not have hostel facility. Canteen food is good. Games like volleyball, basketball, cricket, kabaddi and badminton are available.

Perfect placements, a stunning campus, and amazing facilities are provided at Allahabad University.

Infrastructure: The buildings of Allahabad University are very beautiful, and the most beautiful of them all is the science building. Wi-Fi facility is also available in many classes.

Review of Wing Christian College.

Infrastructure: College infrastructure is very unique its like you are entering a British museum, as there have been no changes made in its infrastructure since it was made so it makes you remember old Indian culture and Indian heritage, as well as being an autonomous Christian college.

Good infrastructure, great faculty, but some fields need to be improved.

Infrastructure: Though the infrastructure is pretty good, some improvements are needed: Wi-Fi is slow and sometimes doesn't work in the hostel. The food in the mess is not good. There isn't any canteen in the Science faculty; the canteen is available only in the Arts faculty. Talking about sports, you can play almost every sport in the hostel. Labs are pretty good.

Authentic review of my college.

Infrastructure: Hostel quality is also below average; the walls are too old. In a room, 2 B.Ed students are given 2 chairs. The size of the room is good for 2 students. The mess food is so bad you will fall ill after eating from the mess. Faculty infrastructure is good in every faculty, with personal libraries and labs available. Wi-Fi is also available in every department.

I like the good infrastructure in this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, but according to me, it could be a little bit better. Campus life is average in my college, and the library is good; one can avail of new books from the library. The classrooms are clean and big. Hostel life is good in my college, but it could be better according to me. The meals taste is also average. There are fresh RO water and geyser facilities in the hostel. But one can also avail of PG, and there are many PG options.

You get a lot of time for yourself and your side hustle if you want to do it.

Infrastructure: There is absolutely no social life. There are no clubs in the college, no groups, no societies. Opportunities are not present. You have to attend the classes and study for semester exams only. If you want to side hustle, you can because you get lots of time.

I am dissatisfied with the faculty members and teaching experience.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is below average because it was made many years ago and has old-type constructed buildings and classrooms. Wi-Fi is not available for students, and it is only for faculty members. It has one playground and minimum sports facilities. I think the quality of the food is average.

Absolutely satisfied because of the faculty and the infrastructure.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi in the library was in average condition, but the hostel is too good, and their infrastructure is very pretty. The hostel food is too delicious. And one more thing I want to tell is that the hostel playground is too good, and there is some exercise equipment that will be helpful to stay healthy.
