Review of Syamaprasad College.

Infrastructure: I'm not in the hostel as I'm a day scholar but many hostels are available near the college premises. Students from there say it's good tidy and affordable. As computer science department works in day section we got to use the annex building. There are 13-14 classes available and 5-6 labs are available. Mostly too small which can't take more than 30 students at a time. But there are 2-3 classrooms which are big enough to take 80-100 students at a time.

The college is quite good, but there is always a scope for improvement, which can benefit all of us.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is quite good. We also get access to Wi-Fi and internet, tha classrooms are also mostly clean. The good thing is that we also get proper access to the library, which is very important for the law students. The hostels can be made much better same goes for the food, but we get much access to sport and games.

It's best for Bengal, those who know Bengali can go for this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, but I don't know much about the hostel. The college provides Wi-Fi, but it doesn't work well as many students use it, around 200-300 students on average, so it's not very useful. The canteen is average, but the library and computer labs are good.

Good faculty but very bad placement procedure.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not so great. The building is old and dusty. The classrooms are small and clumsy. Labs are there, but they lack a few important chemicals. We don't have a library on our campus. There is no hostel in our college, but we have a decent canteen behind our college.

This college is overall good.

Infrastructure: In Maharani Kasiswari College, computer labs are available. Science labs are available, and the Wi-Fi connection is good. The classroom size is big, but it's a little bit dirty. The library is also available in this college. The canteen is not too good, but the gym is available. The college organizes sports competitions every year.

I would suggest students join the college because the college faculty are very good and helpful.

Infrastructure: There are many facilities in our college, like a common room, library, free Wi-Fi, canteen, gym, etc. The quality of food is very good and hygienic, and the hostel rooms are very clean and hygienic. Many sports facilities and medical facilities are also here. So I would suggest that the college is very good.

Xavier's- A dream come true.

Infrastructure: Our college has an average infrastructure. Classrooms have projector screens with all equipment, but some rooms are not air conditioned. There is a big library where students can go and study with a large variety of books. The hostel facility is good; food quality is average, but the rooms are big and clean.

Great college for entrepreneurship upliftment.

Infrastructure: Large number of classrooms, but the building is very congested. It has a huge number of labs, a great cafeteria, and a well-equipped sports arena with a standard table tennis board. Had beautifully kept washrooms and classrooms. No spot on the walls of the building.

Satisfactory college placements but the college campus could have been better.

Infrastructure: The classrooms had whiteboards and AC, which many colleges don't have. Having ACs in the classrooms helped a lot during the summer season. My college didn't provide hostel facilities, but the building next to my college was a PG, and many students lived there.

The college is okay. If you want the brand name, then you can join this college.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not good at all, in my opinion. Kolkata is already a place with so much humidity that it is hard to survive. On top of that, we have our classes in the evening, on the third floor, and to add more spice to it, there is no AC in an 80-seater classroom. On one bench, four people sit together and suffer in the summertime.

The Essence of St. Xavier's college, Kolkata.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the course is top notch, with an incredible library facility. Our library has subscriptions to several journals, and along with physical copies, loads of soft copies are available for students. The classrooms are massive and airy, and the labs are very advanced with good equipment. The hostel is neat and clean, and the people are very helpful.
