Absolutely satisfied with the college because of best faculty.

Infrastructure: There are smart classrooms with well-qualified staff. There are many indoor games that sharpen students' minds. Some of the students get gold medals in boxing. If we talk about hostel facilities, the food of the hostel is very good. We loved aloo ka paratha. The family environment makes you never feel that you are away from home.

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.

Infrastructure: I recently stayed at this hostel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Here are the main issues I encountered: Cleanliness: The rooms and bathrooms were poorly maintained, with visible dirt and unpleasant odors. It was clear that cleaning was not a priority. Facilities: Many of the promised amenities were either broken or unavailable. The Wi-Fi was consistent, and there was no hot water, making basic hygiene a challenge.

Review of Government College, Dharamshala.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure, especially the biotechnology department, is average. The lab is average, which is the center point of this course, as you have to learn and master the techniques to become a biotechnologist. There are various types of machines available here in the department, but they are old, and some do not work properly. The professors are trying their best to teach the students with what they have and to get the new machines and instruments in the department. The canteen is there...

Himachal Pradesh University in heaven.

Infrastructure: The campus of UG courses is very small. UG courses' campus is separate from the main HPU university. So BBA students are in the University College of Business Studies, where the campus is very small, with one lab for BCA students and one library. Hostels are not available for UG courses; only PG courses get hostels.
