I am satisfied with my teachers, but dissatisfied as it does not have smart classrooms.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is not really bad or good. It is average. There is no Wi-Fi connection in a good way. It is available but not working as much. There are no smart classrooms. We do not have a library for our course. I am not a hostel student so I am not sure about the quality but it is average. The canteen is also average.

Nice college, supportive staff, and good infrastructure .

Infrastructure: One of the best colleges in our locality. Many of my friends studied their. They are happy to study there. The staff of this college is very supportive. The best thing about my college is that every day is a new learning day where we get to explore new areas of knowledge and activities as frequent activities like lecture-demonstration workshops, panel discussions, lectures by guest speakers, competitions, festivals, etc.

Not much satisfied from this college.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay. No Wi-Fi for students. The library is there. Labs are also provided with less equipment. In the hostel, the food is very cheap, and no other activities are provided for students. Wi-Fi is not working in some places inside the hostel, and washrooms are also not clean.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.

Infrastructure: The labs are in good condition, and the Wi-Fi is good. The building has four floors, including labs, classrooms, library, etc. The campus library is small, but the main university library is good. Medical facilities are also provided. Food in the canteen is also not bad.

Horror College Experience.

Infrastructure: There was not a newly built infrastructure present in our college. The classroom was only equipped with chairs, benches, and a blackboard. No Wi-Fi facilities in the college. The library was not equipped with the required materials. Practical labs were not equipped with any modern equipment. Somehow, there was the canteen opening from 8 am to 8 pm. A playing ground was provided, and the medical facilities were also very poor.

Great College. Great Legacy. Great Location and Lots of Clinical Exposure. Lacks in Campus.

Infrastructure: Since Shimla is a hill area, there is a shortage of land for an adequate campus. Our campus is good. Wi-Fi is only available in the library. Classrooms are good with modern facilities. There is a shortage of 2 lecture theatres. Single rooms for boys. Only 23 students will get rooms in the first year. The rest of the students will get hostels in the 2nd year. Girls' hostel has double occupancy rooms, and they get single rooms in the final year. Mess food is good in the boys' hostel but bad in the...

Basically, it is a nice college for middle-class students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not good because it is basically a government college. There is a big auditorium and a library. Every course has separate rooms. But there are limited seats in professional courses. The campus is neat and clean. It has trees and mountain views. It also has a canteen.

Good experience in the college with a good environment.

Infrastructure: The classrooms were well-furnished with few availabilities of labs. There were plenty of books available in the library along with the newspapers. Wi-Fi was also there for students. The canteen was good and hygienic but without much availability of a variety of foods. And also there were facilities for sports stuff but not very much.

Timepass college or best college for introverts—came here for studying only.

Infrastructure: Rooms are big and airy, but they feel like *** in summer as, for 200 capacity, there are only 3 fans, and some may work and some may not. If we talk about Wi-Fi, there is a Jio Wi-Fi which gives you 35 MB data, but only after putting in the number and logging in with OTP.

"VGC" Really A good experience.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Science block isn't that impressive since it is an old building, but the botanical garden in front of the Zoology and Botany departments is well and nicely maintained. Wi-Fi is not available for students. The library is well-equipped. The old girls' hostel isn't that impressive, but the other new girls' hostel is better. The boys' hostel is in good condition. The quality of food in the canteen is average.

Beautiful, something close to genius.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is great, classrooms are big and digital, and the library provides a good studying area (bench, chair, and separate cabins) and they have a vast number of books. I don't have an idea about hostels, but the canteen is great. As I mentioned, I am a sportsperson myself.
